PANASONIC NV-SB900 S-VHS VCR
THIS IS A JAPANESE HOME MARKET DECK AND IS QUITE RARE TO FIND OUTSIDE OF JAPAN
EXCELLENT FOR CONVERTING TAPES TO DIGITAL
HAS BUILT IN TIME BASE CORRECTOR AND 3DNR
MACHINE WORKS GREAT
COSMETICALLY VERY GOOD - BUT DOES HAVE A FEW SMALL DINGS/SCRATCHES
I COMPARED THE TBC TO AN AG-1980 AND FOUND IT TO BE AS GOOD OR BETTER
i have a tape with bad time-base errors i use to test TBC's so far only an AG-1980 and a JVC SR-W5U have been able to play it cleanly
but the NV-SB900 also was able to play it perfectly
1 nice thing is the DNR can be turned off on the NV-SB900.
on the AG-1980 it is always on and cant be disabled
for some tapes you would like the DNR turned off
the TBC is definitely stronger than any of the JVC's ive tried (except the SR-W5U)
most markings on the deck and remote are in Japanese
$400 plus shipping
