Description:

This Sharp VCR is an affordable alternative to high-end models that are heavy on frivolous features. This model has all the essentials, including four video heads and hi-fi stereo sound that deliver the video and audio performance you would expect from a major brand like Sharp. Advanced features include Super VHS (S-VHS) compatibility, index search, rapid rewind, and auto head cleaning.

The video quality benefits from Sharp's own super-picture technology, which brings clearer, more detailed pictures by minimizing white noise during video playback. In addition, Sharp has equipped this VCR with a 19-micron video head, which preserves video and sound quality during slower recording and playback speeds. For even higher video quality, you can use Super VHS (S-VHS) tapes for playback on this model. However, it is worth noting that this unit will not record in the higher-quality S-VHS format.

If you hate waiting for videotapes to rewind, this is the VCR for you. Sharp's VCH993U contains a rapid rewind feature that can take a two-hour tape from its end to beginning in about one minute. Another feature we like is the front-based audio and video jacks, which make it easy to add an additional device--such as a camcorder--without having to access the back of the unit.

With strong features and a crisp, clear picture, the Sharp VCH993U is a solid value.

Pros:

  • Good picture and sound quality
  • Rapid rewinding
  • S-VHS playback compatibility

Cons:

  • Does not record in S-VHS format
