Hi James:

Just curious, having done a number of "shoot-outs" in the mid 90's with 
various manufacturers, whether your statement above about JVC machines 
included the "22" series (BR-S822 / 622 / 522)?  They consistently won our 
technical evaluations at the time, so I'm wondering if you might be talking 
about earlier models.  No doubt that Panasonic had some very good machines 
too, but they never quite measured up to the last generation JVC in our 
tests.  Although rarely used now, I still have some of these and the quality 
amazes visitors who aren't familiar with them.
