This model and the more feature laden Mitsubishi HS-HD2000U are operationally... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~150066531972 Mon, 2 Aug 2004 10:19:32 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_150066531972?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_146120674948?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Chris_Gerhard - I am now getting great results using this VCR but it required being shipped back to JVC to get the free firmware upgrade offered for all that need it. This model is now discontinued and has been replaced by the JVC HM-DH40000U which is reputably more... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~146120674948 Fri, 2 Jul 2004 23:59:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_146120674948?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_140642127492?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Chris_Gerhard - I own this VCR and get very good results recording DirecTV HDTV and OTA HDTV. This VCR can also record and playback VHS H-Fi and SVHS Hi-Fi but I don't use it for anything but W-VHS recording at 1080i resolution which is the only HDTV resolution it can... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~140642127492 Thu, 20 May 2004 16:04:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_140642127492?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_98818887300?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Chris_Gerhard - I purchased my first DSR6000 in October 2000 based on a recommendation from a friend. In 30 years of buying home audio/video equipment, this is my all-time favorite purchase and the best value of any product I have ever purchased. This DirecTV... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~98818887300 Sat, 10 May 2003 23:19:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_98818887300?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_94980902532?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Chris_Gerhard - I have upgraded several Personal Video Recorders now and currently find this to be my favorite drive for that purpose. I purchased this to replace a Quantum Fireball 30GB drive in my Panasonic PV-HS2000 Showstopper ReplayTV PVR. The Quantum drive was... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~94980902532 Sat, 5 Apr 2003 18:59:23 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_94980902532?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_77696372356?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Chris_Gerhard - The model I own is A7Q08F2A. It replaced a Frigidaire 8,000BTU window unit that worked for one summer, although it was in the shop the first summer, and died by the second summer. The warranty was out, I had not purchased an extended warranty and since... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~77696372356 Tue, 8 Oct 2002 22:47:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_77696372356?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_42961833604?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Chris_Gerhard - I recently started buying items from the uBid auction site and I am very pleased. Be aware that uBid often charges excessive shipping and handling. This is not a problem if you factor this into your bid. The item always shows the shipping cost so you can... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~42961833604 Thu, 11 Oct 2001 07:54:54 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_42961833604?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_42343042692?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Chris_Gerhard - I recently purchased the Go Video SDV-650 SVHS VCR at a uBid auction. This is a rebranded JVC SVHS VCR. The VCR appears to be identical to the JVC HR-S9800U except for color based on a comparison of pictures. The HR-S9800U appears to be champagne or... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~42343042692 Wed, 3 Oct 2001 20:53:33 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_42343042692?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/elec-review-2308-B2F0EC4-3A192608-prod4?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Chris_Gerhard - About six months ago my 9 year old 27" Sony XBR developed problems and I decided to buy a new model. I went to Best Buy without having done much research and selected this model. It has been a mixed bag for me. In store comparisons with more... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~747074 Mon, 20 Nov 2000 11:17:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/elec-review-2308-B2F0EC4-3A192608-prod4?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/elec-review-1F57-8EEC322-39DDC5A8-prod1?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Chris_Gerhard - I just purchased this VCR from a closeout site and after hooking it up and using it, I feel certain that it is essentially the same VCR as the RCA vr911hf which I also own. Both are most likely manufactured by Hitachi in Japan as is the Hughes HDR-205... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1204696 Fri, 6 Oct 2000 10:34:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/elec-review-1F57-8EEC322-39DDC5A8-prod1?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/elec-review-37FC-9AA8697-39BE6F1E-prod1?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Chris_Gerhard - I purchased the RCA RC5220P primarily due to price, free DVD offer, and my mostly good experiences with RCA products. After 9 months of moderate use with no problems, I am very happy. Nothing fancy here but dependable, performance equal to DVD players... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1206502 Tue, 12 Sep 2000 15:26:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/elec-review-37FC-9AA8697-39BE6F1E-prod1?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/elec-review-5297-7894432-39B8FB43-prod1?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Chris_Gerhard - The Hughes Platinum D4532 offers Dolby Digital audio, D-VHS VCR connection, and excellent performance for a DirecTV receiver. I have owned Sony, RCA, and Hughes DirecTV receivers and Hughes currently makes the best receivers in my opinion.

To take advantage of the D-VHS capabilities you must have a DirecTV receiver with the required D-VHS connector such as the Hughes B4, D45, or E45. There may be others but I am not... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1210636 Wed, 5 Jul 2000 10:45:44 GMT http://www.epinions.com/elec-review-6A9-A0D4B79-396334B0-prod4?linkin_id=8003929
