The minute I took it out of the box I had my doubts. The case is made of flimsy, superlight plastic. "But it's what's inside that counts." I told myself, "after all it's a Sylvania". Ran okay for a couple days, then just snow, no picture. This was especially disappointing as the hi-fi sound was discernably better than my old mono sets, and the light up remote was a real nice touch. I had high hopes for this unit--despite miserable performance, I liked enough things about to almost consider buying another one, in fact, I had ordered another just after getting this one--will probably try it out real well before I decide whether or not to keep it.

This item made video fade in and out. I can understand blocking the signal from recording copyrighted material without the fade, but I don't want to see it when it is passing throught the VCR to the TV. Also the menu is less than intuitive and the remote awful

I bought one of these (from another source) and it immediately started to eat tapes. I don't recommend it at all.

It worked for three days and then the video stoped. All I got was sound when playing a video tape. The on screen programing could be viewed, but no video from tapes. I would not recommend. I returned it and I'm still looking. Good luck!
