VHS Behold JVC latest VHS, Blu-Ray and HDD recorder

Like a bad cold, there is stuff which stick to you forever, and VHS seems to be one such stuff which seems to stick forever…a good recent example would be JVC’s latest all in One DR-BH250, a VHS, Blu-Ray Recorder and HDD combo (250GB HDD).

On top of offering the nice above mentioned combo, our DR-BH250 has a Memory Card reader, USB port, Support AVCHD, features HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) and 1080/60/24p.

JVC decided to do an image-make-up to the product through a nice and elegant design and to upgrade it with some quite nice features.
