[net.video] Need Info on MTS VCRS

gpw@ihlpf.UUCP (Wilkin) (03/12/86)

I need to find out how many vcr (BETA or VHS) there are
that support MTS reception. Is there a chart in a magazine
or an earlier article that I can look at?

Thanks
gpw

	The buyer's guide of 1986 equipment in the Oct. '85 issue of Video
Review lists a total of 43 1/2" format decks that will receive MTS.  I'm
sure that more models have been released since that list was compiled.

Vidieo Review in January I think listed a whole bunch of VCR's (VHS)
that could play/record stereo Hi-FI.  IT also indicated which had an MTS
decoder built in and which had MPX jacks.

Thank you,

I have a NEC 961 VHS Hi-Fi VCR with MTS stereo.  The Hi-Fi sounds works very
well, gross overkill for anything broadcast.  The sound squelches on blank
channels, a Godsend when playing recorded tapes.

This unit features HQ circuitry which produces an improved picture at EP,
semi-acceptable on my Kloss projection unit.  Still frame and slo-mo are
almost noiseless at SP and EP, but there is an annoying several seconds
delay in activating still frame and/or slo-mo.

The MTS decoder gives considerable hum on both Stereo TV stations at times,
particularly on applause.  This problem has been reported elsewhere, and on
other decoders, and may be endemic to the process.  It's most noticeable on
Johnny Carson.

The recording timer allows selection of source (TV, simulcast, Line) and
recording speed for each selection.
