Good JVC decks that can play SECAM and PAL?
I recently bought a Panasonic AG-W1 based on the VCR buying guide suggestions here, but it is not working properly. After looking for any possible information on repairing these VCRs, I found posts stating that they aren't good for transferring:

Aiwa WHVMX100- Panasonic AG-Wx rebadge Panasonic AG-W1 Panasonic AG-W2 - no SECAM-L Panasonic AG-W3 Samsung SVW-5000W - Panasonic AG-W2 rebadge Samsung SVW-7000W - Panasonic AG-W3 rebadge And these are all basically the same two units only rebadged for the different companies. So I am looking to know what are the best JVC decks which can play both Secam and PAL? Here is some further information I've collected from the suggested buying thread replies. According to what I'm understanding here, these models should be capable although may not be recommended players. I'm not totally sure on the models labeled "Ex" - I assume this means any model with an E Any help in this would be greatly appreciated :) AM = multi-format NTSC, PAL, SECAM B EU = European model, marketed to bulk of Europe, PAL B/G D/K and SECAM B (recorded in MESECAM) "E" is like "EU" for some model without NICAM stereo receiver "EH" is like "EU" with NICAM stereo receiver "Ex" is also like "EU" for the last model "MS" is for france; standard is PAL B/G and SECAM L (recorded in SECAM L for the secam L) Quote:

Would anyone know if the JVC HR-S7600 EU would be Secam capable? Looks to be a good unit, but not sure on Secam playback

Managed to answer my own question regarding the JVC HR S7600 EU by finding the manual online. Looks like it will do MESCAM, which I believe is the same as SECAM B? It will not play Secam-L and the TBC does not work for Secam playback. The tape I need to transfer is from France, but I believe it should work since it is a retail Secam-B tape, unless I misunderstand how Secam-B relates to MESECAM
From the manual (http://www.jvc.co.uk/files/instructi...%20engelsk.pdf) Quote:
The fact this is a good player with an S-Video output is making it look like best option I'm seeing right now within my price-range, if it will work |
Based on what I've read since your initial posts on this, MESECAM is SECAM recorded with a PAL VHS method. I don't think it will help with your pre-recorded French tape.
|
This is what I also thought initially, but further reading I've seen many refer to SECAM-B as MESECAM, which may very well be incorrect but its damn near impossible to find any conclusive information about this online

I have HR-S5700AM. It plays SECAM and I did digitize SECAM VHS recorded in Russia from the Russian TV.
|
I have a JVC HR-S7611 in the menu it asks what color space, NTSC, PAL, or SECAM. Does this mean it can playback some Secam tapes?
|
I have this machine and it plays SECAM tapes.

Probably MESECAM recordings, but not French SECAM/SECAM-L, unless there was a french marked variant of it. There is a French S7600MS model that shows up on google but not a 7611MS, just the EU variant which would be PAL/MESECAM/NTSC ON PAL TV. Seems the only difference between the 7611EU and 7600EU is the color of the vcr.

@metaleonid, No the HR-S7600AM does not do SECAM, Only MESECAM, I have two of them.
As far as I know there isn't any JVC S-VHS with built in line TBC and does NTSC/PAL/SECAM natively 525/625, Google search did not give much details about the HR-S7600 model without an additional letter designation. From picture it shown S-VHS/625 so this confirms it does not do NTSC 3.58, So it's either PAL/SECAM/NTSC4.43/PAL60 or PAL/MESECAM/NTSC4.43/PAL60. https://www.digitalfaq.com/forum/att...1&d=1676094547 |
