Panasuperb

Advantages: Digital compatability
Disadvantages: VCR's are being phased out.

...colour so matches my black panasonic tv i bought it to be used with. It is a NICAM vcr so when i play videos which have digital surround sound it sounds great as i have it all wired through my hifi surround sound system. It still records and plays back as well as the day it was bought. In the box you get the VCR itself, a manual, a coaxial cable, aremote contro with batteries and a manual. I have it attached to my home entertainment system via ...
...If you have a Panasonic tv the remote control from both the tv and vcr will work on both tv and vcr. Just flick the switch to vcr or tv on certain remote controls depending on the tv model. I thoroughly recommend this VCR which you may be able to buy cheap now as most people have gone down the route of recording onto DVD's or onto hard drives. ...

Review of Panasonic NV-HD 640

Surprisingly good VHS recorder

Advantages: simple, cheap, durable, 6 heads
Disadvantages: none at this price

Who has video recorders these days? Well some of us still do for various reasons, one of which being to transfer video to DVD and i use this model. I bought it several years ago because it was cheap. and because i didn't want to spend a lot of money on technology that was rapidly going out of date. and i have been pleasantly surprised. i didn't expect a lot from it but it's recording and playback quality is surprisingly good. My previous model was ...
...This one has 6 (despite what the product information says. Definitely 6. It has 1 scart on the back and standard AV in/out on the front and i can use either of these to connect to either a DV camcorder or DVD recorder, thereby transferring old VHS recordings to Digital media DVD's for straight transfer and Camcorder for later transferring to my PC for editing. Note your camcorder would have to have AV in function and connections. I can't say much ...

Good for a VCR

Advantages: Good Quality for VHS, Many Features
Disadvantages: Outdated Technology, Complicated to use

...it allows the use of Sharp Super Picture to increase the quality of tape and records in Nicam Hi-Fi Stereo to give some of the best audio quality available on VCR's. Another feature that greatly improves the quality of this VCR is its use of Scart which is the best quality cable that can be used for non-HD footage. Although it does also incorporate component inputs on the front for both easy access and hardware that doesnt have scart (this can be ...

Review of Sharp VCMH704

Stylish, Reliable, Value-for-Money Video Recorder

Advantages: Cheap, Reliable, Easy to use
Disadvantages: Poor instruction manual, Noisy

...you would expect from any Philips product. The only thing to note is that it is a 'midi' design, meaning that it is slightly more compact that your average VCR or DVD machine (approx. 360x226x92 mm) - something to consider if you are going to place several devices together. The VCR comes with 4 video heads, Nicam Stereo and an Auto Head Cleaner, all of which help to improve the picture and sound quality of recorded programs. It can also play videos ...
...Turbo Drive function which enables very fast rewinding and forwarding of video tapes as well as an on screen display which tells you how much tape has been used and how much is remaining - very useful if you are thinking of squeezing another program on the end of that tape but aren't sure if there is enough space! The only disadvantages I can think of are the slightly complicated instruction manual (very unusual for Philips) and the fact that the ...

Review of Philips VR 550

Nice compact VCR

Advantages: Small, fast rewind, stereo, very simple to operate
Disadvantages: Rubbish display on front of unit

A good basic VCR at a good price. Ours was purchased from Dixons for under £100 a few years ago. It's taken a bit of a hammering as it has been used to convert old VHS tapes to DVD format, so has had constant cueing, stopping, rewinding and fast forwarding but it shows no signs of giving up yet! Unit has a good on screen display, fast rewind times, video plus and Nicam stereo. The buttons on the front of the unit feel quite plasticy but seem to ...
...a bit stiff to operate - you have to mash them a bit to make good contact! The main Play etc buttons are in the centre of the remote and are in the perfect position for thumb-only control with either hand. A let down is that the display is 4x seven segment, so its indication of what the unit is doing is limited at best. ...
