GoVideo DDV-9700Z Dual Deck VCR

Summary: Could never go back to a single deck
Review: A very "convenient" machine. Almost all music cassette machines are dualdecks; why not VCRs. Would definitely miss the dualdeck capability now that I'm used to it. Can easily tape one program while watching one already taped. Copies of tapes from anywhere are flawless. Other regular features of these machines are top-notch also (great rewind, digital tracking, full feature remote, simulated 3D QSound, on and on. I love these machines!

Summary: Amazing price on a fantastic machine!
Review: Absolutely fabulous! As a former retail electronics manager I can't say enough about the value this product provides at such a low cost. Disney films for the kids, recent releases, and old favorites can all be copied with fantastic quality of picture and ease of use. This is the greatest VCR value online or anywhere else for that matter.

Summary: Some shortcomings of the GO-Video DDV
Review: Don't misunderstand. This is a great machine and concept; I own two. However, the product can be improved with two features: (1) commercial advance (both decks), and the ability to record two incoming TV shows on different channels at the same time.

Summary: Like a Double Barrel Shotgun
Review: For starters, the Go-video has enough surface area to support alarge TV directly on top of it. The value of having two decks goesway beyond bootlegging, and promulgating your edited camcorder masterpiece. Its the luxury of putting in two different movies, and deciding which one to watch at the last minute. Or rent Braveheart, put 1 and 2 in at the same time- no need to mess around at halftime. With The Godfather, you'll have two switch once. The 4 head action allows for clean slow-motion and visual fast forwarding, and it goes from "stop" to "play" in under two seconds. When copying a tape, don't be afraid to hit slo-mo for your favorite scenes (this goes especially for home videos) It will be a good laugh the second time around. The Go-video is pure horsepower under the hood. In an era where DVD's will inevitably put VHS to rest, it's one of the few VCRs out there that you will get compliments on. It may be excessive for some people, for others its really functional and HiFi, justifying the cost premium over the single-shooters.

Summary: Good VCR, but has problems
Review: I have to admit that this is a very good VCR in the case of dupilicating tapes. However, this VCR comes with WAY too many features that makes the operations relatively (actually, unneccessarily) difficult. Taping from tape to tape is very easy and the result is very sharp, however, taping from TV doesn't seem that well. The picture sometimes shakes even I tape on a brand new tape (I know it is not tracking problem). However, it is not a bad VCR at all, especially a Dual Deck Super VHS at this value.

Summary: The Best VCR available
Review: Simply the best VCR available. My old VCR recentlyperished,and I looked to Reports for some guidance on purchasing a newone. I bought the top rated one, the Panasonic, and was immediately disappointed. The picture quality wasn't as good as my old one, nor was the quality of the copies it made. I returned it on the premise that it was defective and was given a replacement. Same problems. I talked to a technician and was told, "they don't make them as good as they used to" -- implying that I would have to settle for less. Wrong! On the advice of a friend I then purchased the Go-Video. The best VCR I ever owned. The picture quality is even better than my old VCR! The copies I make of shows are outstanding, and I can make perfect copies of these tapes to give to friends or family. Certain shows I keep but want to edit out commercials. With the Go-Video I get a copy as good as the original, but with no commercials! (editing out commercials is not automatice, but easy). You can probably tell that I really like this machine, and I think everyone should have one. Superb quality and versatility. A must buy!

Summary: WORTH THE MONEY YOU PAY FOR IT!!
Review: This VCR is excellent. Not long after I bought it, I had family and relatives asking me to make copies of home movies for them. All I had to do was pop the original in one side and the blank tape in the other side and hit one button. It can't get any easier than that. It is so easy to operate. I can't believe anyone didn't think of this years ago.

Review: You can record two programs at one time, by using both the vcr tuner and the tv tuner. it's the only vcr which makes picture perfect copies at the touch of one button. great value!
