It does go up to 120 Hz.  Putting my face right up against the screen I
cannot tell any difference in flicker rate between the two, 100Hz is way
above what I can detect although 50/60Hz sets and even my 70Hz SPARCstation
monitor flicker quite noticibly.

What I did do though was wave my hand in front of the screen while
switching between PAL and NTSC and it was possible then to see that the
scan rate increases with NTSC because the flickering effect of my hand
moving across the screen had each 'frame' closer together with NTSC, ie for
a given distance moved the screen refreshed more times with NTSC than PAL
thus the NTSC *MUST* be running at 120Hz.

Other nice features are that when the TV detects an NTSC signal an
additional control appears in the menu which gives tint control, this is
not needed with PAL of course.

Running PAL versus NTSC the decrease in the number of scanlines is only
noticible when very close to the screen, the PAL just looks smoother.
Stick the TV in movie expand mode and the effect gets quite bad though,
with PAL the screen has only 400 lines, NTSC it is more like 350 which is
really getting quite noticible.  Another thing I have noticed is that with
the PAL display of controls on a blue background from my LD player the
transition from blue to white and back is good and clean, the white
graphics are completely white, with NTSC though the graphics appear to have
some colour abberrations in the form of a pink colouring which starts at
the left of a graphic block and fades to white towards the middle and
starts to get blue on the righthand side.  Curious.  For normal use though
NTSC looks fine and I will no doubt be stocking up on NTSC discs.

Subject: Trouble with recent Warner releases
Organization: Hewlett-Packard Co., Loveland, CO
Newsgroups: rec.video

I don't know if this is just a case of bad kharma, blind coincidence, or
a real pattern, but I ran into the same problem on two recently
purchased disks this weekend, and I wonder if anyone else has had
similar difficulties.

The situation:

I recently purchased "Batman Returns" (Warner Home Video, Widescreen,
Sides 1&2 CLV, Side 3 CAV) and the new pressing of "Excalibur" (Warner
Home Video, Widescreen, Sides 1&2 CLV, Side 3 CAV).  I've now watched
both of them, and on both sets experienced "Laser Lock" in the last
chapter on the CAV disks (end credits on "BR" and the last bit of film
and end credits on "E".)

Additional info:

Pioneer CLD-1080 player about 1.5 years old.  My collection includes
many other titles, none of which have exhibited this problem including
similar configuration Warner titles.  After the incident, I re-verified
the integrity of some of my older disks just to make sure that I wasn't
experiencing a new player problem.  Everything I tried plays just fine.

These disks were purchased together at a store in Denver (Sweets).  I'm
planning on returning them, but I anticipate some flak since both disks
failed.  Heck, if I hadn't tested the player, I'd have figured it was a
player problem not a disk problem.

The questions:

Anyone else seen similar problems?  Anyone heard of difficulties with
recent WHV releases?  Anybody know what my horoscope was like for last
week? :-)  (Cue eerie twilight zone music and fade...)

How about under $1,000...

Sony 3" to 4" active matrix VCR/TV's  GV-8/200/300/500/M20/S50

The none VCR models are well below $500.  The all are color.

Organization: M.I.T. Media Laboratory

Greetings,

  The subject more or less says it.  I've been spending quite a bit
of time lately looking at really expensive TV's (mostly
rear-projectors in the $3k to $5k range).  I'd like to buy one
sometime in the next year, but what I don't want is to plunk down a
huge amount of money only to have it obsoleted immediately by HDTV.

  Any thoughts?  I've read lots of comments here about HDTV and
HDTV-like units, including the Phillips 16:9 set, but I haven't seen
any discussion of a rear-projection (or front-projection) HDTV
system.  If I'm going to get a 16:9 image, I'd like it to be *BIG*.

Thanks,
--Mike

Sorry, there was a machine that was brought out in Japan (I don't remember if
the 10000 had the feature or not) that allowed replacing the video.

I should have made the following statement...While replacing the video on a
VHS Hi-Fi tape is possible, since JVC has released a machine to do it, it is
not available generally.  I don't even believe any of the professional units
have that feature.  It is physically impossible to replace the Hi-Fi track
without also replacing the video.

I remember the original post asking about replacing the Hi-Fi track and
leaving the video alone.  If my memory is incorrect, the above statement covers
all of the situations.  Keep in mind that VHS Hi-Fi machines were not designed
for fancy editing.

<Incidentally, I've seen a LOT of VCR's that CLAIM they do video
<dubs, but when you read the fine print, they mean video INSERT.
<BIG BIG difference!  So buyer beware! (as usual)

You also have to keep in mind that the video insert mode WILL replace the
Hi-Fi track on consumer machines.

BTW, what do you believe video dub means?

If the Japanese TV has a scan type tuner, you'll be able to use it,
although you will not get all US channels. SOmeone will probably
followup, and post a frequncy comparison between US and Japanese TV
channels.

Japan usesdifferent frequencies for channals than the US.

The NTSC color standard is the same.

By the way, Japanese FM radios will not work in the US. They use
frequncies below US ones, 77 to 81 (or so) MHz, where US FM starts
at 88 MHz.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that Warner has its own
LD pressing plant, and disks manufactured there are known to in-
clude some creepy "special effects".  Personally, the only LD's
I ever had problems with were from WHV.

  - Blue Velvet (WS edition) locked halfway during side 1.
    I returned it to the store, and got another one that is
    watchable. 

  - The picture on side 3 of Akira Kurosawa's Dreams tends to 
    "flash".  I am sure there is a better term than that in
    English; I mean that brightness is not uniform across the 
    picture. It is particularly noticeable on a couple title 
    screens, and when the background image is a plain colour.  
    It looks like the film was loose during the transfer.
 
  - My friend's Batman has scrolling white lines that last
    for 10+ seconds on one side.  The only reason he did not
    return it was because he mail-ordered it from the States.
    By now you all know why somebody in Canada would bear with
    10 seconds of noise, rather than deal one extra time with
    our excellent Custom Officers :{.

To be fair, though, I have also watched WHV LD's that were quite all
right: my second Blue Velvet, sides 1 and 2 of AK's Dreams (actually,
the picture is beautiful), GoodFellas.

For all these reasons, I think it would be worthwhile to return the 2
LD's you purchased (and maybe get an exchange since WHV does not goof
all the time).  Good luck...

Marc.

I was contemplating buying one of the new JVC VCR's (I forget the model
#'s, sorry.  It's the new model just before you get to the editing VCR's
with VCR+, Jog/Shuttle, Digital Tracking, Hi-Fi Stereo.) the price was
around $450-$500.

It seems that the only VCR with Jog/Shuttle in that price range is JVC.
Sony only has Shuttle, and Jog on more expensive models.   It also must be
Hi-Fi Stereo.  I can't do without that.

Does anyone have any models that are comparable at this price range (new)?
I'm looking for slow-mo, special effects, (I really like Jog), etc.  My old
VCR (Fisher 560?) is getting old (~6 yrs) and I want something new!

If you have a JVC, I would also like your comments, because I really like
the way these work w/ the features I want.  Thanks!

Subject: Mitsubishi 40" tube announced
Organization: Svenska Popfabriken AB, USA div.
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 1992 15:36:39 GMT

Today in New York City, Mitsubishi introduced the world's 
largest direct view television for the consumer market: The 
CS-40FX1 40" stereo digital color television with remote. 

Just how big is a 40" picture tube?
*	31% larger than a 35" picture.
*	56% larger than a 32" picture.
*	66% larger than a 31" picture.
*	119% larger than a 27" picture.
*	300% larger than a 20" picture.

Overview:
It is the world's first mass-produced 40" CRT consumer 
television. The performance aspects and feature content are 
the same as the CS-35FX1. The circuitry for signal 
deflection, power supply and high voltage are enhanced to 
increase brightness and reduce distortion. It has a large 
aperture electron gun due to a CRT neck size of 37.5mm (same 
as the CS-35X7). It has the same cosmetic design as the CS-
35X7. The power consumption is 290W.

Feature content:
40" Diamond Vision black matrix tube. Digital Dynamic Comb 
filter. INVAR shadow mask, 2-Way detachable speakers, 37.5mm 
electron gun, dynamic beam forming, 700 lines resolution, 
fine pitch CRT, Dynamic black level expansion, Dynamic 
Aperture improvement, Velocity Scan Modulation, Multi-step 
focus electron gun, Peak white ACL, Color Temperature 
control, Coma Aberration free DY, Direct Pick-up Rejection, 
Color Bias control, 13 watts/ch 20-20K, Super Quick View, One 
week program timer, ViewPoint On-screen menu system, Home 
theater mode, Time & channel on screen display, Picture-in-
Picture, Lock the TV, Auto programming, Programmable, 
Illuminated 4-layer Remote control, Tuner output, Off timer, 
Rename the input, Name the channel, Variable & Fixed outputs, 
Antenna A/B, Subwoofer output, 181 channel MTS/SAP tuner, A/V 
Network, 2 S-Video inputs, 2 Composite video inputs. 

The base:
The optional base (MB-40FX) offers VCR storage as well as 
built-in high performance speakers. The speakers are ideal 
for improved TV sound as well as a high quality center 
channel for a home theater system. It uses two 8" woofers and 
to 1" titanium dome tweeters. The power handling capacity is 
75 watts. The frequency response is +/- 3 dB, 52Hz to 
13.5KHz. The base measures 17-7/8" high x 38-19/32" wide x 
29-3/4" deep. 

TV dimensions:
Height:	31-11/16"
		49-9/16 (on the base)
Width	48-1/32" (with speakers)
		38-3/16" (without speakers)
Depth:	27-1/8"
		(A 35" TV is 24" deep)
Weight:	266 lbs (with speakers)
		255 lbs (without speakers)

chip itself is bad, for fifty bucks lets assume not.  Locate this adjustment
and try to recenter the color range.  Check to see if the fine tuning is
run way out of range too, since this can affect the chroma oscillator as well.
