Due to the use of incompatible power supplies (see above), two of YSTV's three HVRs are currently 'tape munchers'. A somewhat reliable solid-state recorder can be used with these cameras. | Due to the use of incompatible power supplies (see above), two of YSTV's three HVRs are currently 'tape munchers'.

The other camera records to tape fine. It used to have issues with sound due to a damaged microphone jack, but that has been fixed using spare parts from an older non-functioning HVR (again due to incorrect power supply). This camera also suffers from occasional optical issues, producing a distorted image. | |||

Both cameras can be used for live shows, both in HD and SD. The composite output appears to be damaged on all of them - so use the S-Video connection instead when using an SD setup. <strike> The exception to this is the one 'non-tape-muncher', that has a BNC mounted to it. </strike> HD requires the use of [[Battery Converters | battery converters]] to work with BNC cabling. | |||
