If you are buying this vcr for a home theater system like I did, you will be amazed at the wonderful picture AND sound quality you get from this machine! It even out-preforms my top-of-the-line vcr that I own. Quality for a decent price? You'd better believe it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Delighted, February 10, 2000

First I must say that the unit was shipped same day and arrived in record time, even for UPS ground. The first thing I noticed was that the unit is small and takes up almost no room. I replaced my almost dead, 5 year old, Sony high end VCR with this one and connected it up. The setup was very strait forward, and the instructions were well written. I played old and new tapes on it to test it out, and they both played with no problem. The fast forward and rewind are very responsive during play, and makes it easy to find what your looking for. Very clear picture, wonderfull sound, and great slowmo even on SP tapes. The lighted remote is awesome, the shuttle dial is somthing you only find on high end units and it worked just as I had hoped. It even worked with my TV and my digital cable box to make it even more appealing. The customer that had the LOUDNESS problem (jet taking off? )when it was playing must'a been crazy, because it was just fine in my opinion. As for the menus, they needed a little clairification via the manual, but once you get the hang of it you'll like it. Bottom line, this is a great value, Don't let the Sylvania name scare you off.

For the price its good. I use Dish Network so i didnt need one with lots of features,even though this does.Havnt had any problems and everything works the way it should.I have paid alot more for less and I highly recommend this model.Most VCRs are to the point now that they are throw aways instead of repair.If you want a HI-FI then by all means dont hesitate to purchase this one..
