AGREEED JVC was purchased (majority shares) by Panasonic in the early 80's
because JVC had developed VHS video recording technology. I started
watching them at that point and they have consistently had the STATE OF THE
ART technology. BUT, "Wait one year and you can have that technology in a
Panasonic for alot less and it's more reliable."
Because of the higher cost of a JVC they haven't developed a market share
that we servicers could make money on if we were a service center. SO,
there are few service centers and many don't get enough volume to be good at
repairing them.
