I want to get a second JVC SVHS VCR for tape dubbing but I'm not sure which one to get. I already have a 9500U and a Sony 998HF. The Sony is not SVHS so there is no comparision to the 9500U. I want to get the best quality when dubbing from another tape, so I'm thinking of getting a second JVC SVHS VCR. However, which one should I get? 3600U or another 9600U? I quite like the 4600U as it has a Flying Erase Head. I don't know if I'll get significant picture quality if I go more than a 4600U (like 7600U or 9600U)?

Please help me. Do you also have any places in mind that sell VCR cheap and ship to Canada?

Thank you

Simon

I am currently looking into buying a JVC SVHS VCR. After reading a lot of reviews and comments, I have decided to buy the 7600U. It has some good features that the 4600U does not have that will help give you a better picture. These features are also suppose to help clean up the picture on older VHS and rental VHS tapes:

*DigiPure Technology with 2MB Frame Memory
*Digital Wide TBC (Time Base Corrector)
*3-dimensional Digital Circuit with Frame Memory
*Precision 3-D Color Circuit
*Digital 3-D YNR/CNR
*Precise Digital 3-D Y/C Separation
*Digital 3R Picture System

The 9600U is a great unit, but I don't think that I would get that much use out of the added features to make up for the $140+ price difference.

The cheapest place I have found for the 7600U is at wholesaleconnection.com. They have/had the 7600U for $349. The 9600U is at $489. I don't know about shipping to Canada though.

You may also want to see if you can find a place to purchase it that offers an extended warranty. The talk is that the JVC is the best SVHS VCR for the price, but have somewhat questionable reliability.

Hope this helps....

If you have a computer you might consider a DVD-RAM drive to copy your SVHS tapes to.
