In a previous post it was advised by LS to not use the VHS player on these. To be clear he was suggesting that this can be used with a better VHS player other than the one it comes with correct?
Quality workflow = recommended JVC S-VHS VCR with line TBC > external TBC/TBC(ish) > DR-MV1 as DVD recorder only
That makes it essentially the DR-M10 or DR-M100.
I still use JVC LSI to make DVDs, though admittedly less and less (reasons = lossless, HD, plus just not making as many DVDs as I want or have time for)
