Hi :D
Right, I'll keep this simple! I had for about 2 years now, been transferring some of my old VHS tapes by connecting my old Panasonic VCR to my Panasonic DMR-ES20 DVD recorders and the transfers were great. I recently sold my old VCR and the DVD recorder and invested in a new Panasonic DMR-EX99V a few days ago. After fiddling around with it for a bit and checking all the functions and settings, i finally decided to try out a VHS transfer and oh my god... there was NO time base correction like in the older model and therefore instead of fixing juddery tapes, it was dropping some of the bad frames! I tried various VHS tapes which I had already successfully transferred with the previous recorder and it almost always fixed the signal and juddering. This new combi isn't doing it? Is it just the built in VCR or is there no time base correction at all in this machine? Have I invested in a more expensive but worse machine? :(
Also I wondered if maybe there is a TBC but its only for input from external devices? I don't have my old VCR anymore to try this but, if someone can confirm that inputting from a separate VCR will fix the juddering, then PLEASE let me know (hopefully good news).
Thanks :)
