Sony SVO-9620
Hi everyone I would like to thank everyone for any help and advice.
I can get hold of one of these for £40 I will only be using it for capturing to a DVD hard drive recorder. I'm currently using a friends JVC-HRS-7722 but he wants it back, so I just wanted to know if the Sony will be as good as the JVC or any better. Thanks lojelo5 |

Re: Sony SVO-9620
These were good machines and more 'hands on' if you are copying. As regards picture quality I doubt there's much to choose - it's down to each individual machine's alignment. Two things to check though: 1) its mechanical interchange; best checked with an alignment tape but otherwise known good recorded tape. 2) leave it on as long as poss - does the unit work OK or start to 'pulse' on & off. These can have power supply probs so just beware.

Re: Sony SVO-9620
I will try and find something similar to the JVC.
I need a decent player with S-video output and phono audio but some of the prices people are asking are just silly. Last edited by paulsherwin; 23rd May 2015 at 1:56 pm. Reason: To comply with forum rules |

Re: Sony SVO-9620
You should also bear in mind that these are complex machines and even the youngest will be getting on a bit now, so faults are very likely. This particularly applies to higher spec machines which may have led hard lives in semi-professional use.

Re: Sony SVO-9620
Sorry for the you know what missed that in the rules when I looked last night.
Would you say the Panasonic NV-HS830B is similar quality to the JVC-HRS7722 I know it doesn't have the TBC/NR on the Panasonic but I won't be using it anyway. When I have used it on the video's I am copying the picture seems to jump so not having won't bother me. |
