    Since not just any decent VCR should be used to copy VHS to DVD for chroma noise etc etc reasons, how about those industrial strength S-VHS Panasonic ProLine AG-1970 or AG-1980s from a few years ago? I bought a used AG-1970 on ebay when I got my 1st DVD Recorder (Panasonic E-60) last year and it was the best VHS picture I had ever seen. I got some great looking DVDs from standard VHS camcorder footage, couldn't ask for anything more from VHS.

    But now the picture is squiggly on the AG-1970 and I have to decide whether to fix it or replace it with one of those JVCs that y'all talk about. My Panasonic has TBC and digital noise reduction, plus edit/sharp/normal picture control switches with a slider for continuously variable sharpness. You can tweak the picture a lot! It's really an excellent heavy (3-prong plug) solid machine with those Panasonic dynAmorphous heads which are supposed to last forever.
    Question: with all it's bells, whistles and ciruitry does it get rid of those cooties that can mess up a DVD recording?
    Has anyone used these VCRs to make DVDs?
    Thanks!

  2. The JVC 9000 series S-VHS units (with the 4MB TBC/DNR) have a better picture and superior noise reduction. I've owned them both and while the AG-1970 is definitely a very nice unit, the high-end JVC's have the edge on playback PQ.
