What's going on with my AG-1980? Compared with JVC V10U

I've been testing my two decks: a Panasonic AG-1980 and a JVC V10U.
When playing one particular tape, the AG-1980 tends to give me lots of white flashes at the top of the frame, and occasional...

I will try to post the noise sample video tonight.
In the meantime the AG-1980 proved to be a great solution after all. By playing the tape in reverse at 1x speed, it tracked clean and clear. The...

Cool thanks Volksjager. Much appreciated.
No diagonal lines. It's just fairly even static like noise. I've been assuming it's just a side effect of playing a B&W tape. I might post a video clip of...

Lordsmurf I just realized I never responded to your question. I will try 1.5x speed and see if it helps.
I did however just get a Panasonic ag-1980, and it's quite a bit more stable than my JVC...

I might not have explained correctly. It's not an issue of speed, it's that when playing the tape forward (normal 1x speed) the tracking is bad, and I cannot rid the image of fuzz. But when played in...

I tested the JVC playback with TBC off and image stabilizer on, and it was still no good. I will have to try an AG-1980.
One strange thing that has me puzzled... during one of the cleaner sections...

Oh, yes okay got it. I thought he meant that I should try an ag-1980 but use a different transport in the 1980. Now I get it. :)

Thanks Lordsmurf. I've been thinking I need to acquire an ag-1980p anyway.
When you say it may need a different transport, are you talking about a different physical component or simply changing a...

Ah, good question. I will try that tonight and post the results. If that doesn't improve things much, do you think an external TBC would help?

I will have to double check later today, but I am fairly certain it is SLP.

TBC recommendation for this video?

I am capturing home videos using a JVC SR-V10U with built-in TBC turned on.
One of my tapes is particularly jumpy, and I wonder if a separate TBC would help/fix the vertical bounce.
Here is a...

I opened up the unit and cleaned the linear head (Before and after pics attached.)
Then I tested it again, and the noise may have quieted by about .5dB, but otherwise it sounds the same.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks it's noisy.
I guess now I'm wondering if cleaning the audio head would make a difference. Or perhaps demagnetizing it? Although I've heard varying opinions...

Ah yes, looks like a very nice deck. Balanced XLR outs would improve things I'm sure.
You mentioned the quality being good for commercial tapes. Does that hold true for non-commercial tapes?

I capture via ATI All-In-Wonder 9800 Pro.
I am using good quality shielded S-video and RCA cables.

Thanks NJRoadfan
Since you are awaiting your AG-1980, I assume that means you feel it's still a better deck in some ways than the JVC HM-DH40000U?
If I bought a JVC HM-DH40000U, would I still want...

Lordsmurf, you mentioned that the standard advice is to get a JVC HR-S7600-7900, 9600-9900, or SR-V10 first.
Does that mean that all of those decks provide essentially the same quality of video...

Excellent! Man I had no idea that the ATI AIW was such a great card for this.

I've also been searching ebay for a good JVC deck. Slim pickings. If you know of any for sale, I'd love to hear.
