Title: Quick Panasonic SV-3700 Question...
Post by: kskreider on September 06, 2005, 06:46:06 PM
WRT the hour meter on the back.  When the meter is completely orange is it is at 0 hours used or 5000 hours used?

It's not the orange part, it's the little divider thingy you want to look for, I think. Like a very tall H lying on its side, look for the crosspiece of the H.

Yeah, look for a vertical line of what looks like mercury.  It should show between the 0 and 10, showing the number of head hours (in thousands or hours?).

shit ya, $50 and it works...do a recording on it and then check the error rate....Then after you buy it, do an oade mod to it and use it as your DAC...have all your digital go through it.
nice find.
