I think that's the primary failing the cheap devices, like the Sima -- the dials and knobs are not finely nuanced. The higher end equipment is both stronger AND has the ability to finely tune and adjust. The cheaper gear tends to range from harsh to wimpy, to your situation (good, but not with fine settings).

To be fair, the Panasonic AG-1980P sharpening slider isn't much different. It does not has as many fine adjustments as the DR-1000 does. However, it works good in most cases. I'm sure the Sima is the same for you.

I've used my DR-1000 less in recent years, because I've started to use the AG-1980 a lot more. However, the DR-1000 is often connected to the JVC S-VHS 9800, when an SP tape is being transferred.
