Originally posted by tmitchmd Can now confirm that the Mitsubishi DVHS VCR is a reliable, dropout free alternative to the JVC. Plays back tapes made on the PV-HD1000 FLAWLESSLY. Just have a couple of days experience with it, but unlike the JVC 30K it is absolutely stellar with ATSC. Using a 169time DTC100 that is. Will not playback through a firmware updated TU-DST50. |
Originally posted by leszek1 The JVC, just like the Mitsubishi never has any problems on the firewire outputs. All the drop outs are due to bugs in the MPEG2 decoder and it's AV outputs which include component for video and AC3 digital audio. Those are missing on the Mitsubishi anyway. If you are using JVC in the same way that you use the Mitsubishi then JVC DVHS is a reliable, dropout free VCR. |
Originally posted by tmitchmd Not true. The JVC 30K remains plaqued with video hiccups and frequent audio drop-outs when playing back tapes recorded on the PV-HD1000. Performance does seem to be better using the decoder on the DTC-100 but dropouts occur there as well. The JVC 30KU was adapted from the Japanese model which also is somewhat ATSC "challenged." |
Originally posted by Pete Putman I have had a JVC HM-DH30000U for about two weeks. It plays back tapes made on both of my PV-HD1000s without any problems (with one exception). One engineer I know has suggested that head alignment is a problem on some JVC units. He had checked one out of the box and it required realignment. This could easily be the culprit. BTW, my TU-DST50W with channel mapping will NOT work with the JVC deck. Neither will dubbing to the JVC from a PV-HD1000, although in both cases, the JVC displays on screen "Panasonic D-VHS" when connected via 1394. The new Samsung SIR-T165 worked so well with the JVC unit at the NAB DTV Store that I'll just wait for it to come along in June. The two companies worked together to ensure a reliable 1394 interface between the STB and D-VCR. Pete Putman KT2B |
