JVC HR-S3910U Super-VHS VCR
Good Value SVHS deck....
This deck really shines when recording in SVHS mode...almost looks as good as DVD quality on my Panasonic TAU monitor (progressive scanning). Plays back tapes from other machines perfectly...everytime! My negative nit-picking list: like every VCR under $750, it is basically lightweight plastic, not a sturdy metal case. And why did they not include an SVHS jack on the front (it is available on the next model up)...it would have cost about another .20 cents! Finally...lots of advertising on the tape hinge (SuperVHS, Plug &amp; Play, etc.), but this is easily fixed by masking the area around it &amp; applying a coat of silver spray paint (smile)! Over-all, I am very picky &amp; this is a good VCR.
