♥♥♥♥♥ Not very good
This VCR lasted almost a year but just broke. It now plays sound but no picture during video playback. Setup and programming was very easy. I liked how it could remember up to 8 different programs. If I taped a TV show using SP speed, the picture during playback was very good. (I also recorded some home movies using SP speed and they turned out well.) If I used the SLP speed, the picture playback was horrible, much worse than my old Sony (which I had for 12 years and loved until it finally died). It had no index search feature like my old Sony which was inconvenient. I never used the commercial skip feature; I just fast forwarded through commercials on my own. For some reason, if it was recording a show, I couldn't figure out how to watch my TV seperately. (It wouldn't let the antennae signal through to the TV.) In the past couple of months, it started having a hard time rewinding tapes (even new ones) and didn't record well at the beginning of a tape so the motor was going. Isn't anything built to last anymore? I'm buying a Sony with a two-year replacement plan because nothing is built to last these days. Sigh...
