Message-ID: <501@ihlpm.UUCP> Date: Sun, 29-Sep-85 08:49:43 EDT Article-I.D.: ihlpm.501 Posted: Sun Sep 29 08:49:43 1985 Date-Received: Wed, 2-Oct-85 05:40:21 EDT Distribution: net Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories Lines: 19 I am tempted to take the plunge and purchase a VHS HI-FI VCR. A large video chain near here is selling a new 1986 model with the MTS stereo decoder built in for $499. One thing I noticed while playing with it at the store was that there was a definite amount of "breathing" or "pumping" of the audio while playing back a prerecorded VHS HI-FI tape (The Empire Strikes Back). Also the LED level indicators spent a lot of time in the red i.e. +6, +9 vu. This seems to indicate a mismatch between this particular unit and the prerecorded tape. Has anyone experienced similar compatibly problems with their VHS HI-FI VCRs? Thanks in advance! -- ..ihnp4!ihlpm!terry2 ************************** "All this is * Terry Nelson * because of me Keep * AT&T Bell Laboratories * and not my It * Naperville, Illinois * employer!"
