RE: How do I ident pre and post Oct SC2000
>Sorry to take issue with your posting, but you did give us your two cents, so here goes..........
:-) ok fair enough...
>most of the budget players ... suffer from reliability issues
I`m confused on this from what I read roughly as much people complain as there are ones who did not find problems.
>I do own a budget player though and I am happy with it.
I`m curious if I may ask, what make and model is it?
>twice the resolution of VHS no matter what you watch it on
AFAIK TV screens have only one resolution.
I forgot to acknowledge wear on VHS tape, and the fact that the colours from VHS pictures are a bit smudged.
>do not justify the switch to DVD alone
actually I`m not switching I am buying a player for myself, besides with all the mechanisms in VHS we have gone through three players in a couple of years because of mechanical failures, DVD have much less mechanics (I never had a CD drive break down for instance)
P.S. thanks anyway for replying
How do I ident pre and post Oct SC2000
I live in Malta and there is a scan outlet here that is selling SC2000 players, but I need to know that the player I`d buy is from the new batch, with the new decoding hardware, released after October.
How can I identify between a pre-end-of-October and a post-end-of-October SC2000 player.
¤Thanks in advance¤.
—P.S. please don`t give me any bullshit about hitachi or other players all I need is a cheap but trouble free player. I am not that finicky on superb, perfect picture quality, I believe that kind of quallity will have to be many years in the future with really high definition and high frequency screens. I`ve seen several DVD at stores and trade shows none have impressed me, they are only a minor improovement on VHS, and I can`t understand the fuss. All that I appereciate about DVD is that there is no need to rewind and the media is smaller. Just my two cents.
