JVC HR-S9911U S-VHS Hi-Fi Stereo VCR
This deck eliminated worrys about transferring old VHS tapes
I decided to migrate all my home videos from the 1980s to DVD.  When I went to play them on my 10 year old Panasonic 1960 SVHS, 6 year OLD Misubishi SVHS deck, even the original Panasonic over the shoulder deck the tapes were recorded on, on ANY deck - the images looked shimmering, distorted, and had alignment problems. I know VHS tapes are fragile, but I saw enough of a difference in each of the decks I tried that I knew a new deck would probably be the best solution. (I work for post production facility that does restoration work on classic films about girls from Kansas, and women from Atlanta during the civil war). <br />After extensive Google searching and researching, I discovered this deck that is supposed to be very adept at aligning it's heads to old VHS recordings, and yielding the best image quality. <br />Well!   Let me tell you!  My tapes that I thought were gone, look almost new again!  I have transferred about a dozen tapes so far, and I am VERY happy with this deck!  If you are in a similar situation as me, this is your machine! SPECTACULAR RESULTS!
