Hi all

- Don't break into laughter smile but I have a lovely old JVC 9600 S-VHS (s-video) player, that I would love to be able to output s-video, into/via a Meridian 800.

Questions:

(a). Is there a card that fits a Meridian 800v4 that would allow me to connect a VHS player to its input (s-video), and then have the 800 reroute the video via its HDMI output to my TV?

If yes:

(b). Which 800/861 card does this, if any ? I see on the official Meridian 800 series Cards list, there are multiple cards that have 4, and 8 S-video INPUTS. Is this for the purpose above ie, hooking s-video sources INTO an 800/861, for video re-routing to TV?

Reason for my query is I have a mass of old home videos on VHS tape that I haven't seen for years, as my ST60 Pana plasma (2013), has no s-video input.

Finally (the million dollar question) :

- If the used 800v4 I've just bought does not have this card (I do not think it does; it has the VE00 which I believe is an s-video output, NOT input card?) :

- Can a user (myself) install new cards in an 800v4 ? Are there instructions or, is it too difficult/a dealer only task?

Thanks smile
