Let's see if I can write this acronym correctly: ROTFLMAO!

I see a MAJOR rally on the horizon. Not just in CUBE but the entire market. There's NO INFLATION. I can't wait until the PPI and CPI come out.

* Digital VTR with a built-in MPEG2 encoder equipped with i. LINK terminals

Hitachi, Ltd., today announced the release of a VTR (DT-DR5000) with D-VHS specification from October 15, which is capable of digitally recording current analog broadcasting such as ground wave /BS with high image quality by an " MPEG 2 encoder." It is also equipped with "i. LINK terminals" for digitally recording (bit stream recording) digital broadcasting such as CS.

Model and price

Model DT-DR5000 Standard price(excl. tax) 200,000 yen Release date October 15 Initial monthly production lot 1,000 units

Following the start of CS digital broadcasting, the shift from analog broadcasting to digital broadcasting is swinging into full force, such as BS digital broadcasting and ground wave digital broadcasting scheduled in and after the year 2000. D-VHS is a new VHS format based on the current VHS system, which allows digital- converted signals to be digitally recorded/played as they are while maintaining compatibility with current VHS systems.

Hitachi released in October, 1998 the D-VHS VTR with a built-in CS digital tuner (7B- DF100) the first in Japan, followed by the release in July 1999 of the D-VHS VTR with a built-in "MPEG2 encoder" (DT-DR3000) the first in the world, thus supporting the needs for videotaping and playback of high image quality.

The "DT-DR5000" released this time has a built-in " MPEG 2 encoder" for digital-converting and recording analog signals, and is capable of digitally recording current analog broadcasting such as ground wave/BS in high image quality. It is also equipped with two channels of "i. LINK terminals" so as to allow digital broadcasting to be digitally recorded (bit stream recording) just as it is, when connected with a CS digital tuner with "i. LINK terminals." Moreover, if connected with two D-VHS VTRs with "i. LINK terminals," editing in high image quality is possible with almost no loss in image quality.

In addition, to implement operability appropriate to a digital VTR, the popular Tape Navi has been further enhanced with display functions for creating titles on the Tape Navi screen and an improved retrieval system that allows retrieval by recording date or genre. Furthermore, since an easy-to-see and easy-to-use GUI (graphical user interface) has been integrated, the screen guide will provide easy operation without instructions so that multiple functions can be easily managed by remote control.

Well, I finally sold my ZRAN that I bought about the same time as CUBE, for 21 today. I lost 3 points but it could get much worse. Trying to sell some CUBE for 30 and 31, doesn't look like it will happen. The market is looking very shaky IMO. Not just for CUBE.
