Скачать или смотреть Are Sharp VHS VCRs the best ever made?

Lord Smurf of DigitalFAQ has said that almost any Sharp VCRs of the mid- to late-1990s (or its sister brand Admiral) are are among the best regular VHS VCRs. He cited their ability track tapes wonderfully. Tracking is a method of keeping the head drum correctly aligned with the tape. I bought a Sharp VC-JH820 at a thrift store. A lot of these Sharp VCRs where sold and you should be able to find them easily enough in Canada or the United States.

VCRs compared in this video:
Sharp VC-H820
Sony SLV-N88
JVC HR-A60U
JVC HR-DVS3U

The videos were recorded on a Polaroid brand VHS tape in SP mode. I used Monster THX V100CV cables. All VCR footage was sent via Composite cable, except for the HR-DVS3U, which used a Monster S-Video cable. The The video capture device was an ATI All-in-Wonder 9600XT. Sound card is a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz TB400. Software was VirtualDub 1.9.11 on Windows XP. Video codec was HuffYUV.

In the side-by-side comparison videos, I encode each HuffYUV interlaced video sample through a basic QTGMC deinterlace and upscale to 1440x1080 using Hybrid. Then further zoomed in in Adobe Premiere 2025.
