Hi,

I have a JVC SR-V101US. Not a precise match to your model range, but it's close. PM me if you're interested. I'm the only owner and it's been lightly used only for personal video digitizing.

While they're probably based around the same chips, I think the first D8 lineup, e.g DCR-TRV110 DCR-TRV310 etc lack TBC/DNR. At least it's not mentioned in the manual...

FS: HR-S9911U, Super VHS VCR's with built in TBC

It is getting harder to find these units, basically owned all of them. In my opinion the 9900 model and the 9911 are the best JVC VCR's. I think the picture is better than the 9500 or 9600 and the...

Hi, and welcome.

The 5902 is actually one of the worst JVC unit, being a latter-generation 4600-4900, but with even cheaper parts inside. It was good for recording, but not playback. I used 3800s...
