hi all,

i know i'm a n00b here, but i'm hoping someone on this seemingly very well informed forum might be able to help me out.

i'm looking for vhs deck as i'm planning to get into vhs big time over the next few months, maybe years if i like it enough. primarily i've been drawn to the format from annoyances involving dvd subtitling on foreign films, seems like a bit of a bizarre reason for the change, i know, but vhs seems much less fuss to me with (afaik) subtitles being unchangable on foreign films - my other reason is price, with vhs going for less than 20p a piece at the moment, now seems like an ideal time to start collecting.

anyway, i'm going rather ot with this, and as you'll no doubt have gathered from the topic title, i come here with a question in mind. basically, after a quick bit of research at these and a few other forums i've realised that it's pretty much essential for my vhs deck to have tbc as standard, and happily enough, this has narrowed down my search (in my budget) to either the classic panasonic nv-fs200 hq, or the rather unusual combi machine that is the panasonic dmr-e75v.

i'm not fussed for any of the extras that either machine can give me, all i'm concerned about is the vcr playback quality through a crt projector (probably sony vph1020qm), although seeing as both are the same price, if picture quality is more or less equal then tne dvd player would be a nice bonus

so, can anyone please enlighten me on the differences in pq between these two, and also, would either be a suitable source for my potential crt projector setup with a stereo amp. thanks in advance for any help at all
