Summary: WARNING NO Linear Stereo Capability
Review: If you have VHS tapes recorded in Stereo on the Linear tracks this VCR will only play them back in Monaural sound. All pre-recorded VHS tapes recorded in HiFi Stereo also contain a Stereo Linear track on the edge of the tape. This unit can not default to the Linear Stereo. It will only play the linear track back in Mono. This unit also does not have an LP Record mode.

Summary: A good match for the price
Review: My first experience with Samsung products started 5 years ago. So far I'm so satisfied. I own a Samsung camcorder (5 years), a Samsung 2-head VCR (3 years), and the Samsung VR8060 VCR (6 months). No problems at all with any of these products. Great performance, and well worth the money. The Samsung VR8060 VCR has an excellent picture quality, and excellent recording. The one-year warranty on parts, 90 days on labor is more than enough. I never needed any of them for my Samsung products.

Summary: Excellent VCR at a great price!
Review: Over the past two months, my new Samsung VR-8060 Stereo/Hi-Fi VCR has turned out to be an absolute gem! It works flawlessly, and it's loaded with all the latest features, most of which you'd expect in models with much higher price tag. Here's the really good stuff about the Samsung VR-8060...* SUPERB PICTURE AND SOUND! The picture is bright, sharp, clear and stable; the stereophonic hi-fi sound has excellent balance and stereo imaging. * EXCELLENT UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL (URC): It's slim and lightweight, simple in design, and easy to use. Some of the buttons are a bit on the small side, but the URC's layout is ergonomically pleasing. It's easy to do everything with only one hand. The URC's signal is strong enough to activate the VCR from almost anywhere in the room. * EASY TO SET UP: The VR-8060 has on screen programming, which is a snap to use. The blue programming screen is clear and easy to read. Setting VCR functions is very simple. Especially easy is setting the clock and pre-programming the VCR for recording at later times. * ALL THE FUNCTIONS YOU COULD WANT: The basic functions - Play, Record, Fast Forward, Rewind, Stop, and Eject - can be controlled from either the URC or the VCR's front panel. The more advanced functions - Review, Scan, Frame Advance, Forward Advance/Skip - are all controllable by the URC. * PLUG AND PLAY: Once you plug your VR-8060 in, it's ready...well almost ready...to play! If you have cable TV, or, in most cases, a cable box, the VCR will automatically detect all available channels and set itself up. The VR-8060 won't miss any channels, but sometimes it turns out to be a bit too thorough. If it detects any signal at all - even line noise - it will add the channel. It's a good idea to follow up your auto channel setup with a manual review to delete any unwanted channels. * VERY RELIABLE: In the eight months I've owned my Samsung VR-8060, there hasn't been even a hint of trouble with it!! Every feature works flawlessly. If you're like me, with a considerable amount of money invested in a videocassette library, then an excellent, reliable VCR is an absolute must to own. The Samsung VR-8060 Stereo Hi-Fi VCR fills that role perfectly!

Summary: Entry level VCR - more than enough for the format...
Review: Samsung's very comprehensive range of products includes the entry level model VR8060. Very simple VCR indeed, but with high technology features: 19 microns heads (improves video signal/noise ratio = better picture quality, especially on over-used rental tapes), improved high speed mechanic... Dont be fooled: all the entry level VCR share the same kind of noisy mechanic. The sound is very good (hifi mode), and acceptable in linear mono. If connected to cable TV, the setup is automatic (plug and play?). Anyways, for a slowly disapearing format (VHS), why spend more money? The recording quality is fairly good and crisp. Interesting point: Samsung is using the same basis for all it's VCR, probably for a better price management. That means that this entry level and the high end model differs only for features (front A/V inputs on the next model, and 'diamond' heads on the high end model).
