Good thing but only if you have long enough warranty
Pros
Convenient,multifunctional,a lot of very good features
Cons
unreasonably high prices for parts and repairs
Recommended it?
Yes
The Bottom Line:
Buy it , but only with extended warranty at least for three years. Everything is fantastic until you come to repairs.
I bought it 2.5 years ago.First year I was happy-it is really a good machine while working. Just one month after warranty had ended it died. Microchip in power supply block (which is integrated on main board)broke. I paid for repair the price equivalent to the cost of brand new (but not multisystem and not so multifunctional) VCR from good brand like JVC. And a year after that repair it died again with the same symptoms!!!Well, now I don't know what to do better- invest again a huhdred bucks in repair to make it work one more year or just buy simple hi-fi 4-head with common features from reliable manufacturers like Panasonic, JVC. Anyway, you watch movies in PAL/ SECAM not so frequently to pay such price- it is less expensive to ask somebody to convert your favourite videos, than repair that very nice but very demanding baby
