This is a JVC -MV7SU DVD DVD Recorder and VHS Recorder. It is like in never used condition. I believe the fella that owned it bought it as a backup because he had an identical one that is in perfect condition that is used. I have had them for over a year and finally checked them out. To my surprise they both work 100%. Not many people are into VHS and DVD players, but if you are looking for one this is a pristine piece. It even has an HDMI Digital Output for 1080/720p connection.The Beauty and the Beast is VHS. The concert and war show are DVD.The JVC DR-MV7S VCR / DVD Player Recorder comes with an unopened plastic bag complete with RCA wires, i.Link Connection and remote control. Manuals for both the DVD player and VHS player. The original batteries are in the bag too. Take a look at the pictures and feel free to contact me with questions or concerns.I use UPS for shipping. All packaging product is new and usually includes a heavy duty box with the interior lined with Pink Panther foam. The product is wrapped in bubble wrap and peanuts may be used but inside a zip lock bag. I package the gear with the thought of myself buying the product and how I would expect to receive it at my door step.
Against your own comps, US$275 is clearly ambitious for this unit: it sits well above the US$183 75th percentile and nearly 3× the US$100 median. That does not make it absurd, but it is priced like a premium example, so I’d want proof that this one is genuinely exceptional before paying up.
The upside is that these combo recorders are genuinely handy: one box for VHS playback/archiving and DVD recording, which makes a clean, fully working example attractive to collectors and anyone digitizing tapes. If the deck is quiet, the transports are smooth, and it includes the remote and any needed AV leads, the convenience is real; otherwise, at this price, I’d wait for a better-value specimen.

JVC, originally founded on September 13, 1927, in Yokohama, Japan, as the Victor Talking Machine Company of Japan, emerged as a subsidiary of the American Victor Talking Machine Company. It quickly established itself in phonograph and record production, becoming a leader in turntables within its first few years. After RCA acquired the parent company in 1929, JVC expanded into radios and introduced Japan's first domestically produced television in 1939, laying the foundation for its enduring legacy in consumer electronics.
The brand's product focus has historically centered on audio and video playback devices, starting with phonographs and evolving through radios, televisions, and the revolutionary VHS videocassette recorder launched in 1976, which became the global standard over Sony's Betamax. In hi-fi realms, JVC gained renown for amplifiers, speakers, turntables, and components like tuners, while later offerings included headphones and car audio systems. Following its 2008 merger with Kenwood to form JVCKenwood, it continued blending audio expertise with broader electronics.
Today, JVC occupies a solid mid-tier position in the hi-fi market, prized by enthusiasts for reliable, value-driven performance rather than ultra-high-end exclusivity. Its vintage gear, particularly from the wood-case amplifier era and early digital components, attracts collectors, while modern lines deliver competent sound without boutique pricing. This accessible heritage makes JVC a dependable choice for knowledgeable buyers seeking proven Japanese engineering.
