Well, I don't have a whole lot of experience with JVC, but it tends to run the same way yours has, especially compared to Pan & Sony. I have the DV500 camcorder, on which I had to have the imaging head replaced ($1800), and my little-used br-s811 s-vhs deck has gone down twice.

: and faith in my JVC....
: About a year back my VS10 was giving
: me major issues....pixelating etc on
: DV record....
: Sent it in for service and it came
: back with the same problem....I
: approaced ken freed on the Creative
: Cows JVC forum and he helped me
