Summary: Missing RCA input for record
Review: I ordered this online, but I didn't even plug it in before I realized that it has RCA video out, but no RCA video in. It can only record off of the antenna. This wouldn't work for what I needed, so I had to return it.

Summary: Of COURSE It Has an RCA Video In!
Review: The user review dated before mine is inaccurate. Indeed, this Broksonic player does have an RCA audio/video in, but it's located on the front panel, rather than in the rear next to the RCA audio/video out, and I make much use of it.

As to the machine itself ... It doesn't truly rate 5 stars when compared to higher end machines without regard to price: It has a clumsy and oddly configured remote control, some of whose bottons have odd names ["Call" instead of "Onscreen Display" or OSD is one]; and the design of its front panel is just as odd in an overly simple way; plus it makes the clunking noises cheap machines are wont to make, as it goes through its maneuvers. However --

When you get past all that: it makes pristine recordings (picture and hi-fi stereo sound), as good as those generated by my high-end GO-Video two-deck dubber, and recording that don't need tracking adjustments when played on most other VCRs. Furthermore it records in the middle LP mode, which most VCRs no longer do. Finally, it's damned sturdy. I give mine a workout, and it's been in service to me for nearly two years without a hint of malfunction or wear. Eventually of course, I'm sure, this bargain basement machine will have to reach its limit ... but for [$] it is excellent, and the easy comprehensive VCR answer for anyone on a serious budget, or needing a spare machine that won't cost more than spare change.

Rating: 4 stars
