Great 4 Head Unit from Toshiba
(5 out of 5) by gobirds2 on Mar 10, 2002 (New England)This is an excellent VCR from TOSHIBA. I saw one of these while shopping. Visiting audio and video stores with the kids is still a regular weekend pastime with us. This machine replays VHS tapes giving one of the best pictures I have seen lately. The picture was very good. The color alignment looked good on the Panasonic Super-flat TV and especially the Sony Wega TV sets. Resolution was excellent. Usually a good TV set makes VHS tapes look bad. That was not the case here. This is a linear audio machine only, which means no HiFi and no stereo. However, what makes this VCR stand out is its picture. It has 4 video heads, not the standard 2 usually found on non- HiFi units. 4 video heads records and delivers a superior picture. So, if you do a lot of recording this is an excellent VCR. You don't have to pay a lot to get a good picture.
Good for the price.
(4 out of 5) by K. Scott on Apr 21, 2002 (Raleigh, NC)I bought this because I needed a cheap VCR and it has not disappointed. It is a no frills, base model that does it's job.
I read the book first when I got it and then went on from there. It is easy to set up and program.
My only quam is when you program to record when you pick the start and finish time for need to scroll thru the time and not just punch in the #'s. It is not a big problem, but something Toshiba should think about when making the new one. This is not a problem that would keep me from buying this VCR.

It can not play with tape
(1 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Feb 19, 2002 (Sunnyvale, CA USA)I set it up to receive the antenna cable from the wall outlet, then output to the TV, as I did to another VCR in the house. But the TV does not receive any signal, and I can not play the video tape, looks like a defect product to me, and I will have to return it.
Another problem is that the sound is mono, not stero...a surprise to me.
