Not a Better VCR
Pros
Quiet, Decent Picture, Price, Small Remote, Play SVHS tapes
Cons
Tracking Constantly Adjusts on Most Tapes, Rewind is Very Slow.
Recommended it?
No
The Bottom Line:
Buy Something Else or Switch to DVD.
Having read the reviews of comparable machines, I decided to go with one that was not yet rated hoping to find that one gem. Well, I was unsuccessful. This unit which I bought at Sears for $69.85 is definitely below average in its class. I cannot recommend a machine that is constantly readjusting the tracking on most tapes and takes forever to rewind. Worst of all, every time the tracking readjusts a little message pops up on the screen. Another problem I encountered with this unit was that it will not accept about 10% of my prerecorded tapes. This apparently has something to do with the tape cover being tight but these tapes played fine in other VCRs.
While the picture quality and the sound are adequate, this does not make up for these other distractions. I am returning this machine and getting another Panasonic which may be noisy but is at least "average."
