"Feel free to use the comment, because it is truly a blessing to see such a great picture from dubbing!  I can't wait to get busy on all of those other tapes!  I have friends overseas who'd love to have some of my collections!  If I run into anymore trouble, which I doubt, I'll let you know...especially with my Laserdisk player.  :) Thanks For All!

Okay, this is also something that I'm sure I messed up on.  I followed the paper, but must have pressed the 4.43 (?) on accident...so it WAS set wrong.  Sorry about that. :( Anyway, it is in color now, and the picture is GREAT!!!  I still have to use S-video though, and the converter instructions say not to use S-video to regular video combinations.  I've done lots of dubbing in the past, so I know what I'm looking at on the back of this vcr. I must say the picture is beautiful.  I love the player, AND the CMD 1500. I think you've answered my questions, I had it set up wrong. Thanks for you help.

Thanks Much.

"Hello,

Once again thanks!

"I had the opportunity to make a performance comparison between the CMD-850 and a top-of-the-line converter of another major manufacturer, the Tenlab TR-21. I had to conclude that the CMD-850 has a higher static resolution and far less noticeable motion artifacts than the other product which costs twice as much! The automatic input system detection provides great convenience and is implemented in a very reliable form. I was pleasantly surprised that while the converter is turned off it bypasses the input video completely without any intervention or distortion of the source. This eliminates the need to connect/disconnect any cables or having to use an external source selector switch. In its category and beyond, the CMD-850 is the best value I know of in multi-system video converters under $1000."

"......Great products, (CMD-1500 & JVC Multisystem Multi-System VCR)!  The quality playing back PAL tapes is incredible and much better than conversions I was paying for in the past.  A major added benefit I was not expecting is how the converter significantly cleans up and sharpens inferior VHS video images. How is this possible?!
Thanks again,

"I've got everything set up and am making PAL copies of my camcorder tapes to send overseas.  I'm using the S-Video cables with an audio cable. When I set the converter to auto, it selects S-video and NTSC 3.58.  I am extremely impressed with the quality of the conversion.  It looks just like the original. I am also wondering if it may actually be even better to view on a PAL TV since they won't have to convert the video on playback? I had to convert it once to VCR tape and once to play it back so it would seem that viewing on an NTSC TV is a conversion of a conversion. I have put in a good word for this converter and I think you should advertise it on expatriate websites where there is always a discussion about multi-system TVs and tapes."

"Hi - Peter! I received the (CMD-1500) converter last week Monday. Excellent service and I am very happy with the machine. I am also grateful for the low price for customs. 
Much thanks,

"I received yesterday the JVC S5700 Multisystem SVHS recorder and CMD850 converter, and I'm delighted with the results so far.  It has replaced an Aiwa multisystem-converter unit, and improved the picture on pre-recorded PAL videos to an almost shocking extent. I didn't know what I was missing!  The set-up was problem-free (except for preset 1 being channel 2, and so on up the frequencies, takes a bit of getting used to).  Waiting for the next interesting classical music broadcast to give the S-video recording a try."

"I wanted to thank your company for the wonderful product that you are marketing. I received the delivery of my CMD-850 last week and across the entire week end I was watching my digital video footage that I had taken outside the US. I was thrilled to observe that there was no noticeable loss of picture quality and the product worked like a charm. I would like to thank you for the CMD-850, especially, because it saved me the botheration of purchasing a NTSC format digital camcorder."

"Hello,

I've been a lot in touch with you last days. I ordered Pioneer DV-C503 multi-region and converter CMD-850. I've received them and played with them a bit. They are great. The modification with I.C.O.S. kit works great and I was able to swap discs from region 1, 2 and 0 without any problem or need to set region manually.

The converter is unbelievably good. The TenLab 21 converter (very high quality) was a reference for me. I was afraid that CMD-850 would not be that good and precise. I was wrong. the CMD-850 is the same class as TenLab 21 missing only bypass on composite signal when turned off comparing to TenLab 21. However, the quality of digital conversion of CDM-850 is unbelievably great. I made also experiment using the converter with very poor cable signal of TV (lot of noise and electrical interference). It filtered out almost all noise improving picture on my Sony TV! That's amazing since Sony TV's already have some electronics to enhance picture even with lower quality signal. I believe that CMD-850 design was a good engineering concept and a good design. Now the important part is that it is half of price of TenLab 21 (about $750)!"

"Just wanted to tell you that I am really pleased with the converter. Much better than using the Samsung SV-5000W."

"..... VCR works great and the 1500 converter is a charm... We cannot tell the difference between the original and the converted images..."

"We got the JVC multi-system VCR and finally got to experience the CMD-850. I'm writing to tell you we are utterly delighted. For years we've been putting up with converted PAL videos, but now that we can play PAL videos directly on our NTSC TV, we see what we've been missing! The picture quality is unsurpassed. Thanks so much for a quality product.

Thanks again,
