JVC HMDH5U Digital VHS High-Definition Recorder
Surprised
I bought this unit 2 months ago and at first was disappointed because as mentioned in the manual, the only way to record HD was through the I-Link input. My Direct-TV Sat system doesn't have one. I called JVC and they confirmed that so I thought I was up the creek. I then hooked up the component video from my HD Sat system to this recorder and played with it for a while and found out that in the HS (high speed) mode. It recorded HD without the I-Link connection and the picture is beautiful on my 65\\" Mitts Diamond. What a nice surprise. I love my new D-VHS recorder and would buy it again. The tapes are hard to find and a little expensive at $10, but how can one put a price on beauty.
