    17:09 There's an exception to that. The AG-4700 had decent heads, most AG- series machines had soft heads which wore out badly. It's a slightly modified version of the high-end domestic NV-HS1000. PAL recording, NTSC and PAL playback, includes a TBC.
    It's PAL-M which is closer to NTSC than PAL. Not many machines handle that.
    I'm still very much doing audio and video transfers. I usually don't charge extra for running NTSC tapes despite being in UK. I capture in the same line/frame rate as original tape rather than convert to PAL, to keep the quality as high as possible. Plenty of work still out there.

      @@12voltvids Oh I see, you used to do VHS to VHS conversion from PAL to NTSC. You're right, no-one asks for that any more. What you call "archiving" I'm calling "transfers", typically video tapes of one format or another, to files on a USB stick or hard disk. That's what I've been working on full time for about 13 years now.

      @@12voltvids Bet you've seen some great cases of customer stupidity though. And finding faults with equipment where the customer has obviously lied about the cause (blown speakers and the like). I always found it interesting when I worked as a computer tech to hear the excuses a customer would give for a fault they caused, the most common probably being pirate software or frequent access to porn sites causing malware. Inevitably they'd blame the hardware, the operating system or a previous technician, and be in complete denial of their fault until proven otherwise.

He had a fire on his stove and the phone melted and the guy thought his 100 cordless phone was under warranty and started crying like a spoiled child when he was told too bad so sad, not warranty. Warranty does not cover fire damage. This was a guy I am going to guess was in his early 30s

    At school we had two "editing" sets ... Panasonics ... kinda NV-100 or something similar with basic efects and titler and those were PAL-B units while here we use PAL-N. I recall they used Trasconverter boxes and those were really expensive (year 92). So this unit will do the same for any of the ouput systems .... ? A real nice feature to built in on a home VCR sure it most be like 10 years laterl otherwise would have been stupid expensive. Ohhhh the Panasonics. Never get used to them, we manage to do some cut and splices with the controls .... and that all we wrote. What really love is the ultra fine low with the jog, what a precision machine, almost frame by frame, "perfect" still. We had a so called teacher to do editing on this system ... guess what ?. She had no clue !!!!!. We have a small "radio" set on the other desk with a mixer and people tend to take RCA cables from this Panasnics to use in audio and then the system would be inoperational for weeks, no one could figure out, and we were not allow to mess with it. Im not sure if they were SVHS machines, almost sure they have HIFI FM track.

    I still actively use the NV-FS200, which is a version of AG1980. I bought it as a non-functional unit from Ebay and managed to get it working. However, the design is just terrible and makes for a very unpleasant repair experience. Nowadays it still works fine and when it dies, i will switch to my Sony SLV-E1000. Much simpler design, relatively easy to fix. And in my opinion it also gives a prettier picture. The colors are much more vivid.

    Once had the previous Samsung model (SV3000 or something, forgot the name). The chassis seems beefier than this and it runs fine as multi-system vcr. Unfortunately its conversion circuit had went south so it can't be used for system conversion at all.
    I also have that AIWA vcr (MX100?) it did convert anything to anything, but really with mediocre quality at best. Later got a no-name standalone video converter for 1$ from a garage sale...and it beats AIWA by miles.
    For me, any system converter vcr does not deserve any premium value anymore. Just find yourself a multi-system vcr and capture in its native signal and boom, job done.

PAL-N is - as far as I know - just a broadcast standard.
