Good afternoon, all! Long time reader, first time writer.
I have made this post somewhere else (different site) but for background: A good while back, during the throes of the pandemic, I set out to digitize all my VHS tapes that I have inherited through my family. I wanted to do it right, so 200+ tabs of reading later, I found a JVC HR-S9600U on ebay and made the purchase. This model was indicated to me to be highly preferable for the task, given it's many modern (for the time) advancements in the technology, albeit ones that probably escape my total understanding (specifically TBC).
I am roughly 100 tapes in to my 200-ish tapes for this project, and I noticed that in the last few conversions, it will play as expected for 3-5 seconds, and then begin video tearing from the bottom, which completes to full screen tearing/static looking at the top, before it immediately resets and begins showing regular video again. This process repeats ad infinitum and doesn't change behavior, aka, is very regular. Not sure when this began happening, but I'm going back through my conversions to see how much I must re-do.
I've learned basically everything I know about this topic from this forum, especially lordsmurf, so it's time for me to get out of the audience and into the play, so to speak. I'm interested in diagnosing and hopefully fixing this issue, but I'm open to any analyses or suggestions about how best to continue converting all my tapes should this excellent player be kaput.
Thank you in advance for the time. Really hoping for the best
