 If you have an Oppo player, HDCD is covered.  I have two working S-VHS VCRs left - a JVC HR-S5900U and a Mitsubishi HS-U790. The JVC also does the S-VHS ET recordings on standard VHS tapes. The high grade tapes like Fuji HG proved to work well. Some of the other standard VHS not so good, noisy picture. Especially if you used EP record speed. HR-S5900U JVC  Mitsubishi HS-U790  I have two other JVCs that are editing machines with the controller for them, but they each need a major overhaul and I have no need to do that.

Maybe, this isn't the place for you. You only have six posts and your telling people, they're doing it all wrong.

I'm not trying to get into or be in a pissing contest...
To be fair you did start your first post by saying that you are a picker... Also I'm not advising you to buy them, I'm just trying to say that you should not advise the guy that has them to junk them (in my post you quoted in your comment in post #18). My reply to your 'calling me out' was me interpreting your post as implying that I'm some dork with a computer in a room somewhere that has never seen or worked with, of bought such equipment and has no intention of doing so....And breaking that implied false image of me. Sorry if I've hurt your feelings... @ ED: Yah, HDCD, miniDisc, and Digital Compact Cassette (DCC) are all on my audio want list...Although I've got some odd formats I did not list in storage such as magnetic wire recorders, what I believe is an industrial Muntz 4-track cartridge player, and a few other things. I'd like to own every recording format one day.... I've got a JVC HR-S3500U that looks almost the same as yours, and about three other JVC modes. I also have a NEC unit with an interesting video noise reduction feature.

Then you'll need one of these, which is just like mine... http://museumofmagneticsoundrecordin...tml#MailAVoice But back to the video world. I had a couple M-II machines for a specific, long-term client. They eventually moved on to DigiBeta, so I was thinking the M-II machines would wind up at a science museum for kids to take apart, or something like that. A few years later, I got a call out of the blue from an outfit that was digitizing their whole library. Ended up getting nearly a grand each for them, and they sent factory boxes to ship them in. That was a nice surprise. Not expecting the same for the 7750s, though. Chip

The one in the link looks like it's missing the "clamp". Mine has a bakelite disk about 5" in diameter that holds down the paper/magnetic-coated disk flat to the turntable. The disk has a spiral groove in it, and the tonearm has an outrigger pin that engages the groove. The pin guides the head in a repeatable fashion over the flat magnetic disk. There's a tracking control to vary the pin position so that the record/playback head on the end of the tonearm tracks appropriately.
Your referenced dual-use version sounds like the "ultimate expression of the art" for this media, to be sure! It would seem they would pick 33 1/3 as the table rpm -- I don't know the speed of mine, but it would stand to reason they wouldn't re-invent the idler wheel... Thread now devoid of S-VHS content. Oops. Chip

I keep one S-VHS deck around simply because S-VHS broadcast cameras are basically free now and if you want a decent tri-CCD camera but can't afford what Betacam still goes for, this is your ticket.

I guess if you are going to own ONE VHS format deck, the D-VHS (Digital VHS) decks that can also record and play back HD signals would be the one to have (I have several). They can play back with very good quality any VHS tape, Standard, S-VHS and of course D-VHS. In any case a S-VHS deck works very well with playing back standard VHS tapes, so, all-in-all every new technology improvement in the VHS tape system, always allowed for the playback and recording of the older VHS standards. No obsolescence. The last D-VHS decks even have HDMI output.

W-VHS and D-VHS have been been on my want lists for a while too, but they have been a bit too pricey for me when they show up on the bay (which is the only place I have been able to find them for sale since I learned of them).
