Yes, I am talking about stuff I recorded off the air. I rented Video Essentials from Netflix and did some calibrating over the weekend. I'm sure I didn't do the best job. However, I tried watching some of my tapes afterwards and was amazed at how much better they now look.
I had no idea...
Yes, I hope to see an improvement. I have a ton of home recorded VHS tapes. I'd hate to think that they are all now going to be unwatchable.
Thank you, Joe, Selden, and Mike!
Jim.
I didn't respond to own question, Joe. Look at the dates the two Jim McC's joined Home Theater Forum. We are not the same person. You and Seldon were very helpful. Thanks a million.
Jim.
I tried watching some of my old VHS tapes on my new HDTV. The picture quality was horrible, no matter what video settings I changed on the TV. I was wondering if I recorded a VHS tape to DVD would the video quality be any better when watching it on the HDTV, or would it look the same.
Any...
I removed the plastic covers when they were new,so this is not the case.I hadn't thought of asking the store for a replacement.I'll try doing that.Thanks a lot,Matt.
Yes,I've already contacted them.The tops are $48.00 each.Think I'll try your recommendation first.If that doesn't work,I'll try Minwax and a light coat of varnish.If all fails,then I'll replace it with a new top.Thanks again,Chris.
While removing one of the tops from my VR975's,I accidentally dropped it on the floor.The top does not appear to have dents or scratches,but it now has scuff marks in the black gloss finish.Does anyone have any idea how I can repair it?
