I have dealt with J&R for over 10 years and concur that they are a
reputable, honest dealer.  They are a reasonable place for "one-stop
shopping."  I have also found I can get better prices and the same
good service from other specialized mail-order dealers:  Tape World
for blank tape, CWO for electronics, Sight & Sound or Barr Digital for
laser discs.  Currently I only turn to J&R if I can't find an item in
stock elsewhere.  They also have specials that make their prices better
than anyone else.  They have a catalog that is very useful.

Does it have the PCM audio mode that the EV-S900 has?

Does it have the skate load?

BTW - does any routinely use their EV-S900 for audio recording.  I have never

As far as I have read in SONY documentation the name is LANC.  It is commonly
called Control-L but that is just a different name for the same thing.  SONY
usually uses a 5 pin DIN connector for VCR's and a sub-mini (or mini - I
forget which) stereo (3 wire) connector on camcorders as does Canon.

Each device using LANC can be a master or a slave.  You connect one master
to one or more slave devices.  Camcorders usually are designed to always
act as a slave device.  Many VCR's can be switched between master and
slave.  When controlling a camcorder, a VCR needs to be the master device
and when controlled by an editor the VCR needs to be a slave.

Your description of Mitsubishi VCR's indicates that they can function as a
slave device but not as a master device.  I would expect that all SONY VCR's
can be switched between master and slave but haven't verified it.

An edit controller is almost always a master device and connects to two slave
devices.

Since no one responded to the $600 CLD-3080, I am revising
the price to $500.  The player also comes with six months left on the warranty.

This price is pretty far out of whack with what most people 
paid over the last year.  I got mine for around $270 and I
know people who paid even less (below $250).  I think
Cambridge SoundWorks was even selling reconditioned ones
for $230-$240.

Original list was around $500 but since the X90 models
became available last summer the price was consistently
discounted around the $300 mark and lower ($290, $280).

It is a great unit for the price even though it is last
years model (actually most were probably manufactured
over 2 years ago by now).  Buy one if you can find one.
You mean that the value is actually going up in price
as awareness of problems in the current X90 line 
(CLD-990, CLD-1090, CLD-2090, CLD-3090) are made public?
Or are CLD-980s and CLD-3070s acquiring cult value?

It could be worse; it used to be, for video tapes, that anything under
about $79.95 didn't count, though I think that's changed.  My
mother-in-law got suckered by that one.

In any case, $29.95 covers most of the titles; and two laser disks at
$19.95 or $24.95 will count as one "regular priced" disk toward your

First off, what is Dobly Surround Sound? :-)

You didn't mention the name of the program.  The ones that were on NBC actually
didn't say Dolby Surround, just stereo surround.

You also didn't mention if your VCR is a MTS stereo VCR.  You also didn't
mention if the stereo light was on on the VCR (if the VCR is MTS capable).
You didn't mention if the TV station was even broadcasting in stereo.  You
didn't mention if you have ever obtained stereo programs from this TV station.

In other words, you have left out many details.

Generically, if the cable company picks up the TV station off the air and
uses a special broadband receiver, that doesn't convert to baseband but to IF,
then the stereo will work.  It does around here.

If your station has a direct feed to the cable company, you will only get
stereo if special equipment is installed to provide stereo, like our PBS and
CBS stations did.  We actually have PBS in stereo on cable but mono over-the-
air.

BTW, are you saying that you watch normal stereo TV programs in mono?  What
a waste.

	Yes, I too have noticed a decrease in sound quality and Picture
quality.  It is broadcast on chennal 11 here in the NYC area.  WPIX I 
believe.  My cable company passes all MTS and Surround stereo sound, but
it is still not as good as some HiFi VHS tapes I have.  The bass is lacking,
there must be a cut off below 150 Hz or so.  In particular the picture
this season seems much more grainy than the beginning of last season.  Only
ST seems to be grainy, as most other programs on this channel seem much
more clear.  BTW, I noticed something interesting with cable cable.  Ever
so often it helps to ground the center conductor on my incoming cable to
the VCR or TV outer conductor.  This noticably clears up the TV image.  I
suspect not so good cable at the pole builds up a charge of some sort which
must be periodicaly discharged.  And yes all splitters have their little
impedance resistors installed.

I think Disney's policy is pretty despicable because of the calculated
money gouging.  It does however have one thing in its favor.  In the
past many laserdisc titles have been allowed to run out of stock but
still been kept in the catalog.  It is more useful to the consumer to
know up front that a title has a limited production run and that's that.

The "50 days" was a selling period to retailers, not end consumers.
Disney only took orders for the 50 days beginning November 1 (I
think).  If you're a retailer, you can't order any copies Fantasia any
more.  What you see on the shelves is what the retailers ordered
during that 50 day period and currently have left.  Seeing as how
over 14.1 million copies were sold, I'd expect more than a few retail
outfits to have more than a few copies laying around in warehouses still.

Yep, I know that there is a HDTV broadcast time in Japan daily.
It should be about 1 hour everyday, by satellite, on NHK 1 or 2.
Not 8 hours yet.

This was true when you said it in 1989, but much to my amazement, it isn't
true anymore.  $8K will buy you a reasonable video setup, including
syncronized fades and wipes.  The professional studios are in serious trouble.

Parenthetically, the audio studios are also about to fall on hard times.
Last night I was shown information on affordable audio equipment available
now that equals or surpasses what's available in professional studios.
Apparently a very popular soundtrack composer does all his work in
a spare bedroom with an SMPTE-encoded VHS copy of the film.

The first one is the katakana "shi", and as you say, that's "short" for

The second one is the katakana "vi", and I assume it's intended to be

The conclusion is then that they use the former for widescreen films,

The problem with calling Sony to find out if they are an authorized
dealer is that many M/O outfits use different company names all
operating under one roof. For example Video Visions III is not listed
as a SONY authorized dealer, but they are listed under the name
Columbia. Go figure. BTW that 3% shipping/insurance fee is basically a
pure progit item. VVIII charged me 30 plus shipping to ship a V701, but
it only cost me about $5 for shipping and insurance to ship it
back(small issue of no warrantee card and missing serial numbers).

Does anybody know if the Panasonic SuperFlat (31" version) has a
service mode similar to the Sony XBR series?  My set has a problem
with linearity along the left side of the picture.  Matsushita
Canada doesn't have any service manuals, and they say they don't
know when they're going to get some.

Maybe some kind soul can give me Panasonic's number in the U.S.
and I can order a service manual from them.

Thanks in advance...
