Sony WV-DR7 DV-CAM/Mini-DV deck Can't Post

I am selling a Sony WV-DR7 deck that is in excellent condition with very little usage. Original packaging, remote, and English manual included.





Highlights:
Playback: Mini-DV, Full DV, DV-CAM, S-VHS, and VHS.
Record: Mini-DV, Full DV, DV-CAM, S-VHS, and VHS.
Record in both SP or LP mode.
Head-to-head dubbing
19 micron heads on SVHS/VHS side
SVHS Reality Regenerator

TBC

Jog/shuttle on deck and remote
DV/1394 Firewire connection
LANC Terminal Control

Works with MAC or PC

<The WV-DR7 is touted for its ability to make excellent DV-to-SVHS or VHS copies>

<Improved digital noise reduction/TBC, as well as circuitry which Sony calls "Digital Reality Regenerator". Because of this circuitry and the direct head-to-head signal path, the WV-DR7 makes very good VHS copies of DV source material, and vice versa. Dubs produced by the deck were as good as, or even slightly better than, dubs made by passing the DV signal via S-video cable to a Studio One proc amp and detail enhancer, and from there into my six-deck dub rack.>

<Your editing system can control the WV-DR7 via the Firewire connection>

This deck is a Japanese model with Japanese controls. An English manual is provided.
<Japanese electronics manufacturers have a long history of putting the US market in last place when it comes to introducing new technology. Many products are available in the Japanese or the European markets before US consumers can get them. Some products never make it to our shores at all. This is one of them!> <I quickly became used to the labels on the unit. I find that I only rarely have to refer back to the manual, if I need to do some task which I haven't done in a long time. Still, it's a good idea to keep the manual in a handy spot.>
