5.0 out of 5 stars Superb 4 head hifi VCR from Toshiba Unit, July 10, 2001
Four Video heads, HiFi and Stereo record and playback are all standards on this unit. This is one of the best VCRs on the market. It plays back tapes with very good images having one of the best pictures on the market. The 19-micron video heads record and playback a sharper picture than standard heads in the EP mode. Pre-recorded tapes play back with an excellent looking picture too. This unit also has automatic head cleaners and `superfast' rewind.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Solid Performer, June 18, 2001
This is a very good VCR. I saw one of these while shopping. Visiting audio and video stores with the kids is a regular weekend pastime with us. This machine replays VHS tapes giving one of the best pictures on the market today. The picture was very good. The color alignment looked good on the Panasonic Super-flat TV and especially the Sony Wega TV sets. Resolution was excellent. Usually a good TV set makes VHS tapes look bad. That was not the case here. For controls and features I like the front panel shuttle control. It also has digital tracking which is a must now days. Front and rear A/V inputs are also a feature that I also find useful.

4.0 out of 5 stars Old Faithful, March 13, 2003
By A Customer
I bought this VCR in September of 2001 when my last Phillips VCR froze up on me and I couldn't get it to work again. I bought the Toshibia to complement my Toshiba DVD I had bought several months previous. I record several TV shows a week on it (still haven't broken down and bought the digital recorder) and I've only had a couple of problems with it after 18 months. I use the VCR+ feature and it works wonderfully because it's so accurate and I don't have to remind myself to set for the program every week. The quality of the recording and the viewing of all tapes is excellent. A previous reviewer commented on the fact that the advance through commercials is too fast, but it actually has two speeds of advance and the slower of the two works very well to zip through commercials.

The reason I couldn't give it 5 stars is that it is a bit confusing to set up at first and the instruction booklet is not as detailed as it could be for helps. Also, for some reason whenever we go on Daylight Savings time, the VCR moves the time ahead by two hours instead of just one. Appearently the mechanism that determines the timezone when you plug it into the cable has trouble recognizing it, so I had to turn off the feature to mannually set the time.

Other than that, I've been very pleased and given the circumstances, I would probably buy the same player again.
