Great Picture but antiquated remote and VCR features
(2 out of 5) by Douglas G. Erb on Aug 28, 2000 (Vansant, Virginia United States)This product delivers a great picture, even from old, self-taped programs. However, there are many features that are behind the times - mostly on the remote. For instance, no mute button, no ability to 'jump' to previous channel, channel buttons are really small, shuttle knob is a waste of space (I would rather push a button anyday). As for the recorder itself, only being able to program 8 SINGLE DAY entries for recording is at least 10 years out of date. With no ability to put in the same program for a week (you have to reprogram everyday or use up five of your entries on one program), and finally, the SLP quality is so poor it's 'usability' is non-viable even with the correct tape type.
Frankly, I would return it but packing it up and finding a UPS drop point is too much trouble. I'll put it away and use it as a backup, but in the future I will purchase my electronics from a ... where I can 'see' the features.

Amen to that brother Erb...
