It has four autocleaning, 19 micron heads. The picture quality can be enhanced with a sharpen picture button on the face. The sound is clear (90 dBs). It offers playback of SVHS in quasimode (not SVHS quality) and has automatic time set from TV stations. It has 400x speed rewind, noisy but quick. I thought the auto set-up could be better, but you only have to do it once. Still frame was usually clear. The remote is color coded and can be programmed to operate most TVs, Cable boxes/Satellite Receivers. If you loose the remote most operation buttons, including menu are on the front of the VCR. It offers Index search, one button skip search and instant replay on tapes. Finally, it has a tamper proof setting for those with children.

This VCR is very good for the money you pay, and has a good clean and crisp picture. The pause feature is good too
