Macrovision isn't foolproof--but 95% of the consumer recorders can't deal with it. I'm guessing that most SVHS players fall into the 5% category. Lucky you. On a side note, I have considerbly added to my anime collection, from the Pioneer liquidation sale (at their warehouse). I got all but 3 of the Tenchi OAV LDs, most of Moldiver, most of Hakkedan, TMiL (CAV), and Tenchi TV 6. All for $6 a disc. I'm so happy. --Tim tenton@iname.com tenton@usa.net 3 things I might be listening to 1. "Namida Iro"--Noriko Sakai (Work Out Fine) 2. "Sobakasu"--Judy and Mary (Ruroni Kenshin OST) 3. "Money No More"--Sharyn Scott (Meet Tenchi Muyo!)
