With out seeing some specs, and my experience with JVC, I would figure that the difference between the both would be a simple model change. No significant change that would warrant a concern about performance. Perhaps you can go to JVC.com and find the specs for both and see.
JVC VCRs: 9900 or 9800?
Hi, everybody!
I've been doing some searches here and it seems that the JVC 9000 series is a good choice.
At this point in time both the 9800 and the 9900 are available. In your opinion, which one is better?
Thanks in advance for any help, comments or advice you could give me on this matter.

Thanks for your reply, Romeo1.
That's my problem... I cannot tell any difference between those two models by reading their specs or descriptions!
This is JVC's page for the 9900
And this is the 9800
The only thing that's evident is a difference in MSRP. The new model is listed at $100 less than the old model ($599.95 for the 9900 and $699.95 for the 9800). I'm wondering if they have stripped down the new model in order to reduce its price.
What do you think?

That sounds like a nice feature!

That's what I'm worried about after finding out they reduced the MSRP for the 9900.
I've been searching all around trying to find a 9900 review, or better yet, a comparison between the 9900 and the 9800, but with no luck.
Thanks again for your help Romeo1

Romeo1,
I just found out that the 9800 has the Auto SP/EP Timer recording and the AV COMPULINK too, so the differences, if any, are still a mystery...
Perhaps it is just as you said: just a model change with maybe just a few cosmetic changes and nothing more.
I was hoping someone who had a 9900 could shed some light into this not so clear matter, but no luck yet
