	Just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed this model.  I am 
surprised that nobody has said much about this model, yet, the specs are
almost the same, and the only real difference, is a few minor features. Yet,
it has performed flawlessly for me under alot of playing both the LD and
CD's.  I just wanted everyone to be aware of this.  Check the specs out for
both CLD701 and CLD501.  I got mine for around $578 at ABC Warehouse in August,
of this year. I do you use it in conjunction with Pioneer D601 AV/receiver,
and Pioneer Speakers, sub-woofer, and Advent min-surround speakers.  Great
combo for me.

In addition, it does have the 1 bit a/d.

Any comments on this gear would be appreciated as well.  It is in

However, I have no experience upon which to judge Toshiba laser
equipment.  

Thanks again for any assistance in my search!

[Deleted elaboration of how mail order seller effectively substituted
sold original poster a TR-81 hi8 instead of a TR-71 regular 8mm.]

Consider yourself very lucky, my friend.  The TR-81 is a fabulous camcorder.
It is my favorite to use.  (I have owned many, many systems including
a pro 3-chip docking SVHS. To my knowledge, all that have followed the
TR-81, like the TR-101 and TR-200 use the 1/3" chip.  The 81 uses the
1/2" chip.  I preferred it over the TR-101 in a side by side demo.

I use it in conjunction with a Steadicam JR.  I also use it for lots
of family and home stuff without the Steadicam.  It is a breeze to caryy
around and comes up to "ready" in 1/3 sec.  The hi8 image is excellent
and it copies well to VHS for distribution to family and friends.

Sony may be discontinuing this model in favor of newer hi8 units.  I
think many 8mm users will actually be in hi8.  Compared to SVHS ( a
highter version of VHS which never caught on with consumers), hi8 has
wide acceptance.  I wouldn't be at all surprised to  see some 8mm camcorder
makers to devote their camcorder lines entirely to hi8 and drop regular
8mm.

I dunno, but while we're on the subject, what is the UCS1 Mk II?
Was there a defect in the UCS1 or did they improve it or what?

I'm shopping for a compact 8mm camcorder. My parents bought a Canon
UC1 for Christmas ($699 @ Sam's Wholesale) and have been pleased with
it thus far. Two coworkers bought Sony TR-71s last month and they've
been pleased too.

I'm considering buying either one of the UC-series or a TR-71. I'd
like to hear both good and bad comments from owners of either brand.
I'll summarize in a week or so.

SVHS hasn't had too much success in the consumer market for time shifting
and rentals, but has become the defacto standard for special event video
production.  It is also widely used in industrial and institutional
applications.  The Fox network uses SVHS cameras for news aquisition
(JVC X1 SVHS-C to be exact).  It is being challenged by hi8 more and
more because of the slowness of manufacturers like Panasonic in bringing
out new camcorders.  I personally use both formats.

Tomorrow, I am shooting a segment to appear on the Discovery channel
- and using a 3-chip camcorder with SVHS!

  In terms of features, the TR-101 has image stabilization.  It is a
mechanical system, sensing the motion of the camera and adjusting the
lens position to compensate.  It seems to work pretty well.  The
TR-101 also has a 10x zoom, compared to the TR-81's 8x.

  I'm not familiar with the TR-200, so I can't comment on it.

Eeegads.  I had mentioned a similar problem with a Definitive C1 center channel
speaker on my Panasonic 27" flatscreen...the upper *right* hand corner would
turn color.  (And the C1 was stationed 5-6 inches above the set, on an A/V
system shelf, to boot...)

Mayhaps Panasonic has a problem with shielding.  Hmmm.  Might have to make
a call to my dealer....

You're right about the degausser:  No manual operation there.  My repair
service said something along the lines of "Well, just unplug it.  If the
discoloration is *real* bad, leave it unplugged over night."

If there is some channel that you don't care about that they do provide

hi,

thanks for all the suggestions for reducing the dust getting into my
combi-player.  and it seems that the cd lense cleaning disks are a 
no-no!!

but is there a better way to remove the dust that's already resident
inside the machine??  as i've stated before,  i've been using a jet
of compressed air directed at where i imagine the pickup should be.
the 3030 is a combi-player which is pre alpha turn mechanism, so i
don't foresee any situations where the dust might be released due to
gravity.  should i just wait til the problem gets extremely severe and
bring it in for repair??  other than the dust problem, the 3030 has been
extremely robust.  i haven't seen any of the problems that seem to hit
the newer machines.  of course, if someone were to give me a cld-95 for
free, i wouldn't complain.

thanks much,

If you read above he said it is ok when he watches cable TV.  Actually
I just noticed that myself.  I had started writing this to say that 
I watch TV through cable and all the surround sound is fine.
Recording is fine too.  Actually my VCR is a Sharp MTS stereo HiFi VCR 
which I have had for 3 years.    Could be the same one.  Now I'm
having a problem with mine.   (I think I'll write a new article about
the problem).

Well if it is new you should get a new unit or have it serviced. I am going
to let Sony try to fix mine. They are coming to pick it up on Monday. From
the few replies that I got it seems like this problem does exsist in MANY
Sony sets and most people can NOT hear this HF (high frequency) emission. I
am not sure if your TV is having the same type of problem my TV gives off
the sound all of the time, and it is annoying as all hell. I can not beleive
Sony would release such a flawed piece of equipment, it is pathetic
especially when you consider the fact that I spent about 200 bucks extra for
the Sony over others in its class. Ohh well, I guess I got screwed.

I've been using rewinders for years and have never had anything happen.
But then again, you added the caveat "may."  So, I guess one "may" damage
