I have a NEC 961 VHS Hi-Fi VCR with MTS stereo.  The Hi-Fi sounds works very
well, gross overkill for anything broadcast.  The sound squelches on blank
channels, a Godsend when playing recorded tapes.

This unit features HQ circuitry which produces an improved picture at EP,
semi-acceptable on my Kloss projection unit.  Still frame and slo-mo are
almost noiseless at SP and EP, but there is an annoying several seconds
delay in activating still frame and/or slo-mo.

The MTS decoder gives considerable hum on both Stereo TV stations at times,
particularly on applause.  This problem has been reported elsewhere, and on
other decoders, and may be endemic to the process.  It's most noticeable on
Johnny Carson.

The recording timer allows selection of source (TV, simulcast, Line) and
recording speed for each selection.
