Hi don, >>I was not aware of any deck that can do this with the AFM tracks>> I may have mislead you here, it can only do this while you are laying down the video, AFM is like the Hi-Fi in VHS as you know. This allows you to do stereo AFM, at the time you record the video, but as you know, only PCM can be post dubbed. >> can you lay down the audio tracks and then insert the video without affecting the audio?>> Yes, but it obliterates the AFM audio if there was any, you can only lay video down and keep the PCM tracks intact. >>The ability of laying in a HiFi track to VHS video is interesting. Do you know if the video must be void of the HiFi track to begin with?>> No the Hi-Fi tracks can be already be recorded. Remember my caveat, you can only try the Hi-Fi dub once, it will trash the video portion if you try more than one pass. As far as I know, the JVC BR-S822U is the only deck that can do this. I have only tried this technique to see how it worked, I would not trust trying it on a master tape unless there was no other way to fix the problem. Trying to learn from Mr. Science, Tom
