If I am not mistaken, Sony's Beta and 8mm decks are not subject to this limitation and were used widely by folks who recorded live performances at Greateful Dead concerts, which is what prompted me to inquire about VHS decks because I didn't want to invest in another technology. (And my Sony reel-to-reel deck had crapped out.) Also, Pulse Code Modulation is used in the audio portion of many of Sony's products, although I have little understanding of this technical jargon. Maybe you could elaborate on all this. Thanks ! Alan -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
