Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
GE's compact, affordable VG4270 offers everything from 4-head VHS playback and stereo sound to commercial scan and front-panel audio/video inputs for your camcorder or gaming console. The VG4270's 4-head design ensures smooth slow-motion play (forward and reverse) and clear still-frame images. If you route the unit's stereo output to an audio/video surround receiver, you can even enjoy 4-channel (left, center, right, and monaural surround) Dolby Pro Logic mixes from TV and Dolby-encoded videocassettes.

Commercial scan speeds past unwanted portions of your tape in 30-second increments for each press of the search button. Index search lets you zip right to a tape's index points (a new point is marked each time you begin recording). Express Recording (XPR) starts recording a program you're watching. You can then set the VCR to automatically stop recording after a desired length of time.

VCR Plus+ simplifies advance programming, and auto clock set means you'll never be confronted with the dreaded flashing "12:00" on the display. Other features include adjustable display brightness, a trilingual onscreen display, auto channel set up, auto/manual tracking, Pro-Tect Plus locking (great for use as a parental control or as a safeguard for important timer recordings), auto play, auto repeat, and zero search.

What's in the Box
VCR, remote control, remote batteries, an RF coaxial video cable, a user's manual, and warranty information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely satisfied with this VCR, November 25, 2000
By alice (CANADA) - See all my reviews
I read the reviews here before buying the GE VG4270 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR. I was slightly apprehensive when I read someone's review that stated the vcr made an annoying tick tick sound when played, however I purchased it anyway. For the amazing price I had nothing to lose since I could return it. It is excellent and it does not make a ticking sound, and I bought two of them, one for someone else. ... The quality is superior to other more expensive models, I had a VCR that I paid ($) for and it died. This one has more features than my other one. I am very satisified and recommend this to everyone !!

1.0 out of 5 stars sadly disappointing, June 16, 2000
By A Customer
This VCR has some great features - it's inexpensive, can be programmed for recording 8 shows, and has excellent battery back-up during power outages. HOWEVER, this is a 4-head VCR, and it has much worse picture quality than my 2-head VCR from 1993! Since picture quality is THE most impt. thing, I am bummed that I have to return this and hope that a more expensive VCR will in fact be better quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars toonces, September 24, 2000
By A Customer
I've had VCRs since 1986 and what I like about this unit are the features for the price. The quality of the picture and the features are equal to, if not better, than 4-Head Hi-Fi Stereo VCRs that I've purchased in the past which cost more than three times what this one cost. Granted it doesn't have VCR+, however, if you're looking for more programming features that what this offers you'll have to spend the extra. For me this is a great unit for less than $...
