It was an optional board for this model. Mine didn't have the board. I use an external TBC.

The XF705 has been discontinued as of about last March. The only ones available are left over stock and used. Good luck with the new camera!

Well that's pretty insightful!

I don't know. It wasn't on our list of movies shot in Oak Park.

Hi Robert, I haven't taken it in for service. The only thing I have ever needed to do for it was clean the heads and tape path. what issue are you having? Marc

Yes, the S500 was the player only version. I have an S800 that needs repair, but as I don't do recording, players are fine for me. The RS-422 was one of many option boards these decks could take. They also had options such as TBC, SMPTE Timecode, NR, and a couple others. I believe the PAL versions do play LP speed. The SLP speed was the reason I got it. I have better decks that play SP.

In NTSC, we only have Umatic and Umatic SP. We don't have low and High band.

Sounds like it needs some lubrication.

My 500 needed caps also. Luckily I got it from a place that had a "semi- warranty" and cost me $100 to have the whole machine recapped.

@@FVPMMF Thanks for your response, I value it, we do a great deal of archiving, Florida based. My JVC BRS 525 & 822 DXU Decks, as great as they are, I have been told to recap video alone could be very high in $ cost. Who did the recapping for you? Again thanks for your time & expertise

@@mlluke7506 the recycling / resell place I get some of my gear did it.

Sounds like. you are recording in C-Log - record in 4k 10bit 4:2:2 mp4 and use started picture profile - it should look great - certainly mine does.

The BR-S500 / 800 are generally far superior than the AG-1980. These JVCs have a more heavy duty mechanism. The AG-1980s do have a couple features better than the BR-S500 / 800 series. The AG-1980s have a built in time base stabilizer (a stripped down TBC) that can be very useful when digitizing. These JVC decks could have one as an optional plug in board, that not many people bought. I use an external TBC. The AG-1980 also plays back the LP / 4 hour speed, that the JVCs cannot in the NTSC world. It all depends on how many LP tapes you get, and if you have a TBC to run it through.

I have 2 1980's & they play 3 speeds SP EP & SLP. We to convert many types of tapes, from Betamax, Umatic to Digital Beta & others, thanks for your response.

In your video you state the 500 plays SLP, have you found it does not? Thanks for your time

@@mlluke7506 It plays SLP on the NTSC version. PAL versions I have heard do LP (PAL countries it was their "6 hour speed") as they only had few decks with SLP that gave them 9 hours on a standard E-180. It was added late in the VHS VCR life in Europe. The US version, unfortunately, doesn't play the LP speed, as most people used SP or SLP.

Yes. It comes with a 12v AC adapter. You can see the 12v port at about 2:00 min

What about an external battery pack via 12V port? In situations where there is no power port next to me and I am worried that the external battery that I can connect the unit to might fall off like it did in your video? Thanks!@@FVPMMF

@@asafblasbergvideographer The 12v battery input gives you a lot of options. You can run it off a car or other 12v portable battery. You may need to buy or make a custom cable, but it is not difficult. I have done it for other field equipment. You can also use gaffers tape in the batteries that go on the back.

Beautiful, thank you !!@@FVPMMF

Yes, it plays SLP / EP also. It is in the description. It plays those tapes very well.

Thanks. Might you know what error 56s in a jvc BR S 800U means?

@@mlluke7506 I'm afraid not. I will ask around and post the answer is I find out.

The error code revised to 332@@FVPMMF

I'm glad you liked the review and find the camera as useful as I did! One day I hope to get one myself, (unless the XF805 comes out and is better!) Make sure to subscribe and check out my other reviews.

If you have a digital deck with SDI out you can go SDI Directly into the Teranex then into the Hyperdeck Studio Plus. For Umatic, I go composite into a TBC. From the TBC I go YC into a BMD Analog to SDI (audio goes directly from the deck to converter), and SDI into the Teranex. Then SDI into the Hyperdeck Studio Plus

Yikes, a lot of steps. Thank you.

@@EastRiverElectric1 If you want to do it correctly, you need to follow the steps. If you don't have an analog to SDI converter, you can use a digital deck that has analog inputs and SDI outputs, like DVCAM, Digital Betacam, and some DVC Pro Decks

What else would you like to see reviewed?

Mid size deck. My AG -7650 is much bigger.

I generally used manual focus, but when I did use AF, it worked fine for me. Image stabilization was good for me, except on tripod, the camcorder would keep moving after you stopped panning. Maybe your XF605 has issues. Ask Canon.

@@FVPMMF "the camcorder keeps moving after you stop panning" tell you. With or without a tripod, it's normal. I observe this too. It's the proof that I pushed the right buttons and that the stabilizer is trying to work. But it just can't do it. The slightest movement of my hand makes the image jump as if there were no stabilization.

Try taking it for service. It sounds like a malfunction.

Hi Muhammed - I only had the camera for reviewing it. I haven't had it for a couple of years, and unfortunately can't help you with your issue. I would look up your local JVC tech support line and give them a call.

Are you talking in the menu or the external things like microphones and lights?

Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad you found it useful.

I used the LCD screen most of the time. The few times I used the viewfinder I didn't find it an issue. It worked fine for me. It has a lever below it to adjust for different people's eyes.

I didn't do anything special. I shot rec709, and switched between manual and auto white balance outdoors Iris was manual. I will look up to see if I had anything else set differently.

As I suspected, the picture profile was BT.709 Normal.

?

Try lubing it and loosening the screw holding the elevator in by a half turn.

@@FVPMMF thank you, what do you recommend for lube? 3in1 light oil?

@@TonyVRailfanning I have used white lithium grease from an auto parts store, lock oil and dripless oil.

My pleasure!

I'm afraid I can't help you with that. JVC only gave me the camera for a short time for the review. I don't have it to look at. Please try JVC's tech support. They should know.

Thank you!
