Review

This was a wonderful S-VHS video cassette recorder packed with professional editing features. A significant advancement in this design was the digital time base corrector (TBC), which ensured that the quality of the copied video did not degrade. Another useful feature of this VCR is the facility to connect an editing console such as the WJ-AVE5, VW-EC310, or VW-EC10E. Pre-used units often come up for sale online and they are very desirable simply for the fact that they are Super VHS machines that provide a much better picture quality.
