Rating:
Summary: Just say "no"
Review: I bought one of these (from another source) and it immediately started to eat tapes. I don't recommend it at all.

Summary: Bought and return it at another store
Review: It worked for three days and then the video stoped. All I got was sound when playing a video tape. The on screen programing could be viewed, but no video from tapes. I would not recommend. I returned it and I'm still looking. Good luck!

Summary: Exactly what I needed!
Review: Not being a electronic whiz, I hardly knew what to choose when it came time to replacing my aging VCR. Price was a definite consideration. In opting for the Sylvania 6260VA Hi-Fi 4 head VCR, I figured I couldn't go very wrong for the money. So far, I'm really happy with the machine. It was easy to install, lightweight and compact. It works very well, excellent picture and recording. Only surprise was the rather noisy rewind and f/forward, at least compared to any other VCR I've had. On the plus side: those silly control buttons that light up on the remote? They turned out to be not so silly after all. They are very helpful in the dark or for people who don't see too well close up. Great value for the price! I recommend it to anyone who wants something simple and easy to operate.

Summary: never buy a cheap vcr.
Review: The minute I took it out of the box I had my doubts. The case is made of flimsy, superlight plastic. "But it's what's inside that counts." I told myself, "after all it's a Sylvania". Ran okay for a couple days, then just snow, no picture. This was especially disappointing as the hi-fi sound was discernably better than my old mono sets, and the light up remote was a real nice touch. I had high hopes for this unit--despite miserable performance, I liked enough things about to almost consider buying another one, in fact, I had ordered another just after getting this one--will probably try it out real well before I decide whether or not to keep it.

Summary: Avoid this highly returnable item
Review: This item made video fade in and out. I can understand blocking the signal from recording copyrighted material without the fade, but I don't want to see it when it is passing throught the VCR to the TV. Also the menu is less than intuitive and the remote awful
