Quick update for anyone intersted. SSE issue in discussion with JVC. I'll tell you about the resolution, hopefully in a day or so.

Please, do so. My SSE is marginal, sometimes it shows up just so I can barely see it on the camera LCD (of course at 0dB) but I wonder how much it will show on an HD screen. I am reluctant to send the camera back yet and if there is any new development, I'd like to know. My camera is fairly new (details here: http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthrea...31#post439431).

Will do Jiri.
The people at JVC have been very helpful so far and I'm expecting a quick resolution to this based on our conversations today.
As I've said before, we did some very rigorous testing on our own soundstage and before we ever used it.
In fact, I set it up on set after shooting a commercial on film and had the talent stay for a second quick version with the HD100 for comparisons.
Then we shot for two days of various tests before heading out for the first serious broadcast work.
As I said...even at night under natural lighting in the Olympic village we got no SSE.
What concerned me was that we did get it a week later in full daylight and it was dramatic over 5 or 6 scenes.
So that's why I'm just dealing with it...because it just occured for the first time.
I think that's worth other people being aware of.
A lot better than blowing an irreplaceable shoot and finding out when you get back to the studio and the talent has all flown back to NYC.
