[net.video] HQ VHS, LP vs SLP

caf@omen.UUCP (Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX) (12/28/85)

My JVC 2650 produces a really grungy picture recording at SLP.
The picture is OK at SP, but two hours is too short form many
applications.  I do miss being able to record at LP, since LP
tapes recorded on an older RCA vcr give passable pictures when
played on the 2650.

I would like to get a VHS Hi-Fi recorder, but the lack of acceptable
picture quality at anything slower than SP squelches my enthusiasm,
especially since the non Hi-Fi sound quality at SP is good ehough for
just about anything that I've heard on the air in Portland.

What I'd really like is a two piece, Hi-Fi, MTS, two RF input + video
input programmable (i.e., select source when programming the timer)
with full picture quality at 4 or more hours per cassette.
