Advice on buying a VCR - JVC vs Panasonic
Hey LS. I need a bit of advice on buying a VCR. I have been trying to get an S9600u, 9800u, or 9900u. Right now one guy wants $300 for a HR-S9600U with no remote. "Cleaned and tested by his pro video techs". I already have a JVC SR-V10U, but I'm looking to see if I can get any benefit out of the 9600 and also just to add to my VCR arsenal. I was also looking at the Panasonic AG-7650 for $70. Most of my stuff is SLP/EP home recordings. What is your opinion? Pass on it and wait or go for the Panasonic. I appreciate your input.

A like-new 9600 is worth $300.
The HR-S9600 and SR-V10 don't operate identically, no. Transport behaves different, TBC different, signal stability seems different. I use both here. The Panasonic will be better for SLP/EP tapes. I'd rather have a SR-V10 + AG-1980, instead of SR-V10 + HR-S9600 Best of all -- SR-V10 + HR-S9600 + AG-1980! But it all depends on budget. Note: The first post and this one are moved from PM; clearing out my PM box, and this was worth sharing. |
I ended up passing on it because money got short. My JVC arsenal now consists of my SR-V10U and a HR-S9911U that I accidentally bidded on and didn't mean to win it but couldn't back out. Unfortunately do to the recent need for quick cash one of these VCR's will have to go :( . More on that later...
Oh and I ended up getting an AG-1980 to add to the mix. Can't remember if I mentioned that here or not (been a long time). It may have to go as well. Thanks for the info above, though! |
If you want to save $ you can try to look for a JVC HR-S7600U our HR-S7900U
From a editing perspective, they behave like the higher end JVC. recently a HR-S7600U is gone for 120$ on ebay. I didn't bid because I did a steal the day before I got a HR-S9600U for a very very very good price. :2cents: |
