Good until it break down which will be sooner than you think

by mackeystingray , Jan 07 '00
Pros: Very good video quality
Cons: Quality issues make this unreliable
I have the previous S-VHS model (9500) of their top of the line VCR, the 9600 which debuted sometime in 99. The only difference between these models is the jog/shuttle which is now also on the deck itself instead of exclusively on the remote control....

Amazing VCR

by smagoun , Feb 23 '00
Pros: amazing picture + sound quality
Cons: none
This is the best VCR I have ever owned. I bought the predecessor (the 9500U) to play back some 3rd-generation video tapes that were in terrible shape. Most VCRs couldn't play back the tapes with any kind of picture or sound quality; the 9500, thanks to...

I like this VCR

by thrasher32 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Feb 09 '01
Pros: Great picture quality, reliable
Cons: Expensive, SVHS tapes are outrageous
Well, I've owned the HR-S9600U for over a year now, and have had absolutely no problems with it thus far, even using the deck on a daily basis.

I must admit, I was leery about buying a JVC VCR. I have had problems with another JVC VCR (it...

Almost DVD quality on VHS

by gwvg , Dec 14 '99
Pros: Everything
Cons: Price
Wow! This is the best VCR i've seen in my life. I love this thing. I printed off a pricesheet from jvc.com and took it to a local electronics store. They took the price down to 450$. All I can say is this thing is amazing. It has frame by frame and...

Get a TiVo instead

by badcu , Mar 18 '01
Pros: Quality pictures, lots of features
Cons: Very little use of it, expensive
I bought this VCR for over 1 year and I only used it few times. Now with most movie avaliable on DVD and the invention of harddrive computer recorder (TiVo), VCR is not as useful as it was before. This JVC s-VHS VCR does have many extra editing...

Already a couple of problems

by blairman2000 , Jul 10 '00
Pros: Great picture, good sound.
Cons: Getting it to accept tapes of all kinds.
I bought the 9600U because I read some glowing reviews on the picture quality, even with old tapes (which I have plenty of).

When I can get the machine to accept a tape, new or old, the recording and playback quality is almost as good as my...
