VCR reports

PAL

• Sony SLV-SE60 - oyvindln, used with scope probe, worked well with both cxadc and ddd

• JVC HR-J658 - oyvindln, signal too low for cxadc, doable with ddd, but not sure if the signal was strong enough for good chroma decoding (need to re-test with ddd, may have used probe in 10x mode

• Philips VR900, Hitachi VT-MX730EVPS, VT-MX905EVPS (newer Philips turbo drive decks, not actually Hitachi!)- oyvindln, didn't test, but found that these and related don't have a easily accesible rf test point when servicing (these are made by philips not hitachi I think)

• Panasonic NV-F77 - oyvindln, captured fine with scope probe + ddd from both rf c and rf y outputs (not sure which is best), cxadc not tested.

• JVC HR-J681 - oyvindln, captured fine with scope probe + ddd from pb fm, though signal seemed a bit weaker than from e.g Sony and F77.

• JVC HR-XVS20 - oyvindln, captured ok with scope probe + ddd from pb fm, though signal seemed even weaker than on 681, maybe a bit too much.

• Nokia VCR3715, Luxor VCR4704 (Sanyo) - oyvindln, captured ok with scope probe + ddd from pb fm on head amp, though the decks had some power supply issues so can't fully test.

• Panasonic NV-SD200 - oyvindln, captured ok with scope probe + ddd from pb fm on main board, but got some slight interference (Probably due to me connecting to ground to far away, should presumably be fine otherwise).

• Panasonic NV-HS950B - harrypm, Initial capture tests seem to be okay with direct head amp board RF-C tap to BNC to 100cm 50ohm RG174 cable required higher gain on CX Blue type card, new testing will be done with the AD605 amp and on other RF-C tap points available. - December 2021

• Panasonic NV-HD630 - zcooger, cxadc card, ?
