I will be meeting the west coast sales manager at a local JVC pro sales point Teusday the 28th at 11 am. He said that "For the consumer market firewire has been determined to be the standard connection and that the match between these two pieces of equipment will be ideal going forward" He intends to show me DVD material and HD material from DVHS. Evidently the DVHS unit has firewire in and I will see how that outputs to the 150. He said he was also going to be using and NRS for the demo. I would love SPECIFIC questions/concerns that you might have as I beard the sales lion in his den. I will report back specific responses and impressions hopefully on the 29th. I am hoping he will be able to demo sat tv as well. Looking forward to you input......
