I know very little about video but I want the following features: Very good to excellent record/playback resolution Stereo sound I own an RCA 25" so called monitor (4.2MHz) so higher video clarity is a must. I am also an audio purist so stereo sound is desired. I know that when you buy the latter feature you also get a flock of other features but they are truly unimportant. What I am concerned about is good reliability with the desired features. One other question, has the industry settled on the 1.3 and 1.7 MHz carrier frequencies with Dolby B noise reduction for the stereo format? If people have had good luck with a specific retailer I would appreciate this information also. Please reply by email. As they say... Thanks in advance, Phil Rastocny drufl!pmr
