Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Though it sells for a reasonable price, the GE VG4268 VCR offers several features often found in more expensive VCRs. The unit features a much-needed Commercial Advance feature, which locates and electronically marks most of the commercial segments. When you play back a Commercial Advance tape, the VCR automatically scans or fast-forwards through the marked segments, displaying a blue screen or video during the process. With Commercial Advance, three minutes of commercial time is reduced to approximately 10 seconds (SLP mode).
Another exclusive feature is Movie Advance, which automatically finds the beginning of the movie on most rented and purchased video tapes. This feature also allows you to select which previews you'd like to watch, so you can skip from one to the next. Once the GE VG4268 finds the movie, the VCR cues to the beginning, then pauses the tape and informs you that the movie is ready to play.
These are impressive extras on a four-head player that also delivers a good quality picture and sound.
Pros:
- Great value, low price
- Four heads offer a clear picture
- Hi-fi stereo for great sound
- Commercial Advance skips through TV ads
Cons:
- Too many features may confuse some novice users

4.0 out of 5 stars
you can't go wrong!,
By Daral R. Makahusz (Merrimack, New Hampshire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: General Electric VG4268 VCR (Electronics)
This unit replaces a GE 1CVD5027 that I've had for years and enjoyed until drum motor bearings began to fail. When compared to my old unit, setup was a breeze. Unit is quiet and picture quality on 25 inch TV is quite satisfactory. Hi-Fi for tape playback and stereo broadcasts thru home stereo and home brew surround is very good. I wish unit was heavier. When inserting tape, the unit is easily pushed away. I may attach rubber feet to alleviate this condition. Overall, very pleased.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good value, but this VCR has some picture quality issues,
By Rob (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: General Electric VG4268 VCR (Electronics)
Pluses: excellent picture with prerecorded movies; excellent 'gee whiz' features; good sound.Minuses: 'jumpy' picture on oversaturated recordings; No LP (middle) recording speed; poor picture quality at slow recording speed. Overall, I'm happy with this VCR. I can't complain too much about the minuses because the price was so low. I'd like to explain the 'jumpy' remark: one of our prerecorded tapes had an irritating jumpy picture (rapid vertical shaking) during the brightest scenes. It was not a tracking issue, and it didn't happen on our old VCR. It ends up the tape batch didn't meet NTSE specs; when we exchanged the tape, the problem went away. That said, we recently had a friend record something for us on their VCR, and we ran into the same problem. I can only conclude that this VCR has a poor tolerance for oversaturated images.

Great Buy!,
By Scott F. Miller (Syracuse, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: General Electric VG4268 VCR (Electronics)
Terrific value - lots of features at a very moderate price. Easy to program, whether you use the VCR plus or not. Picture quality fine in both SP and SLP modes. One inconvenience: no timer button on VCR or remote.
