Rating: Summary: Awesome VCR Review: $100 bucks barely buys a 4-head VCR, but this one is great. It is fast, another VCR that my family owns takes a couple of seconds to start playing, this one plays immediately. The Jog/Shuttle is the coolest thing I have ever seen. The sound and picture quality is great!
Rating: Summary: Cute little VCR with lots of features for very low price Review: Bought a unit to replace an aging 2-head vcr and was amazed with the features it includes and the performance it offers. Especially for the price. Made completely of plastic though, so hope to never drop one.
Rating: Summary: not pleased Review: First I must say that the unit was shipped same day and arrived in record time, even for UPS ground. The first thing I noticed was that the unit is small and takes up almost no room. I replaced my almost dead, 5 year old, Sony high end VCR with this one and connected it up. The setup was very strait forward, and the instructions were well written. I played old and new tapes on it to test it out, and they both played with no problem. The fast forward and rewind are very responsive during play, and makes it easy to find what your looking for. Very clear picture, wonderfull sound, and great slowmo even on SP tapes. The lighted remote is awesome, the shuttle dial is somthing you only find on high end units and it worked just as I had hoped. It even worked with my TV and my digital cable box to make it even more appealing. The customer that had the LOUDNESS problem (jet taking off? )when it was playing must'a been crazy, because it was just fine in my opinion. As for the menus, they needed a little clairification via the manual, but once you get the hang of it you'll like it. Bottom line, this is a great value, Don't let the Sylvania name scare you off.

Rating: Summary: Good Basic VCR Review: For the price its good. I use Dish Network so i didnt need one with lots of features,even though this does.Havnt had any problems and everything works the way it should.I have paid alot more for less and I highly recommend this model.Most VCRs are to the point now that they are throw aways instead of repair.If you want a HI-FI then by all means dont hesitate to purchase this one..
Rating: Summary: Dont see a problem anywhere. Review: Great inexpensive VCR with great options, a sweet universal remote, and all the quality of any other decent VCR. Its a little loud when doing single frame advances on a still picture, but not even as loud as the JVC i bought last year in terms of normal play, and rewinding.
Rating: Summary: not pleased Review: I based my decision to purchase this unit on the positive 8 reviews vs the 1 negative. Should have gone with the latter, this VCR makes noise-almost constantly. The price is appealing but not worth it at all.
Rating: Summary: Worth the price Review: I bought this syetem and then read the first review whuich spoke of noise. I didnt have this problem. its a light ( give the feeling of being fragile) thing but works well. The rmote lights up witha strange red glow at times:) which is almost out of star wars. dont be scared by the name brand.. i heard this companies name before(in relation tolight bulbs though) final virdict: good deal. buy it.
Rating: Summary: PAIN!!! Review: I bought this VCR for my girlfriend for x-mas it has been the biggest pain ...i have ever had. The first one ate VCR tapes, take that one in get another and this one won't record the TV. While trying to get ahold of someone from this company is almost impossible. There is a lesson that i haved learned from this whole mess. Which would be that ya i saved about 40 bucks, but in the end i sure ended up paying alot more.
