From experience I can tell you that the JVC HR-S9500 (NTSC version) is excellent, especially with older camcorder tapes, but I can't speak to the PAL version.

I need two questions answered:

1) Was Teefer's VCR sold "as-is" or not?
2) Is Teefer getting his money back or not?

Yes, there must be something non-standard about the JVC's menu signal and output. All three of mine (NTSC models - 9500, 9911, & S3U) have jagged edges on all the white text, almost checkerboard...

All of my Hi8 footage from 1998 to 2004 was recorded on a Sony CCD-TRV65 with XR capability. I've been wondering if I'm getting the most out of the tapes because, although the same camcorder is...

Something I've noticed on my JVC S-VHS VCRs (S9500U & S9911U), and I'm wondering if it's all in my head. When I play tapes recorded at LP speed, most of which are from the 1990's and my RCA VHS...
