Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The VC-H960U is a strong basic model, offering the clarity of four-head recording and playback and a host of Sharp convenience technologies. This model's four-head design ensures smooth slow-motion play (forward and reverse) and clear still-frame images, while hi-fi sound records and plays back stereo audio tracks. If the stereo output is routed to an AV receiver, four-channel (left, center, right, and monaural surround) Dolby Pro Logic mixes from TV and Dolby-encoded cassettes are available.

Sharp Super Picture enhances fine image details, while 19 micron Exact-Track heads ensure the clearest possible picture when recording or viewing in EP (extended-play) mode. With EZ Set Up, all VCR tuner channels and clock are automatically set up for both air and cable channels. With Skip Search, the VCR zooms forward in 30-second intervals to bypass commercials, while Instant Replay quickly performs reverse scanning in 20-second intervals, then resumes playback.

Rewind speed is approximately two minutes with a T-120 tape (the speed may be slower for tapes other than T-60, T-90, or T-120). The unit comes with a unified remote control.

Product Description

This affordable VCR has 4 heads to give you a great picture in all speed modes and an 8-event/year timer so you can program it to record your favorite shows whenever they're on. The Quasi S-VHS Playback function allows you to play an S-VHS tape at VHS resolution, while each press of the Commercial Skip button breezes through 30 seconds of recorded commercials.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good, fair price, February 22, 2003

By	L. Nelson "marialgn" (vienna, va, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It is very quiet, good picture and sound, easy to set up. It is not the fancy but does all the basics very well plus plays ep and SVHS tapes with good sound and pictures. The best quality for it that is quiet when operating. The only fault of it is that it lacks universal remote.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Buy for the rate, June 3, 2002

By	nirman - See all my reviews

I saw this at an electronic store. The VCR has all the features needed today like comm. skip, clear and crisp pictures and breezy rewind. Its pretty noiseless and feels light. I would recommend to buy if you have a tight budget.
