JVC: HRMD30000 - DVHS VCR for HDTV with D-Theater

Hi, many compliments for this forum. I'm new to D-Theater, but I would like to buy one D-VHS VCR. the only thing that gets me worried is the tapes wear. I know that tapes are getting worn after playing them some times; I would like to know if there's any way to make a backup on our Hard disk drive on a PC through the firewire port. It should be a right of the nuyer of the original to make a backup copy, since the media could be easily damaged with use. I'm a collector and would like to start a D-Theater movie collection,but the backup problem is really important. I heard that someone in north Europe has been able to unlock an HM DH30000U but I don't know where to find such an information. Looking on the internet I found that the site www.dvhs.co.uk should have many informations, but is down now. thank you for your help

Hi Ed,
Thanks for the Kudos
With HD-DVD and Bluray around the corner offering so much better performance I would not recommend any major investment in this currently dead format. There is the possiblity that the DVI enabled version performs better but do not recall that being expicitly stated in the Widescreen Review from about a 1.5 years ago.
That said, if you can get a hold of a player you can rent the tapes at...

Lots of fun to be had that way!
WARNING! only JVC DVHS does D-Theater...
As for copying I doubt that will work as the firewire is copy protected but you can always try it if you have a 1394 port on your PC. Unfortunately I have never done this and it is not a popular topic for this site.

Kind Richard, Thank you, I'll try to find on AVSforum. I might be interested to D-Theater titles because they aren't coming out on HD DVD or Blue Ray quite soon.
