Time for my FLAME ON!!!!

I have some news for you.  All three of the JVC decks that I have had and
still do have one of them, supports special effects at the SP and EP speeds.
I didn't know that JVC DIDN'T support special effects at the SP speed.
I too like quality, which is why I record at the highest speed (SP).  The
machine that I have (HRD-725U) has special effects in the sp and EP speeds.
The other machines that I had, the HR7650U and HR2650U, both supported
special effects and the SP and EP speeds.  I don't know what JVC machines
that you saw, but they obviously weren't the ones mentioned here.  True,
the decks that I bought were not the bottom of the line.  All three are
Dolby stereo and the last (HRD-725U), is HI-FI stereo as well.  Not cheap.
But, to make a statement that JVC doesn't support special effects on any
deck, is wrong.

My FLAME is now OFF.
