Panasonic DMR-ES35V - a VHS+DVD recorder with built-in time base corrector (TBC)
768
Published 2024-04-21
The VHS deck has SVHS playback capability (SQPB, Super VHS Quasi Playback). The DVD deck can record on recordable DVDs. The machine can dub VHS to DVD, and DVD to VHS.
The standout feature is "VHS Refresh", which was advertised as "an easy way to even more beautiful digital recordings". The "refresh" is achieved by using digital noise reduction (DNR) and digital time base corrector (digital TBC). The machine can be used in passthrough mode as an improvised TBC for analog-to-digital conversion.

The Panasonic unit appears to have a better TBC than the JVC unit. Is the TBC used on this model similar to the one on the DMR-ES10?

Will the quality be better if you record VHS to DVD or the same
