...it's noisier than the than the one it replaced. The automatic features were just annoying, so I turned them off. It does everything I expect a VCR to do, the quality of the playback is very good.

This is the third RCA VCR I've owned and if I get as much use from number three, I'll be happy.

I bought an RCA VCR about seven years ago and finally past away in December 2001.I did some research in the internet and checked other brands to see what was new. Eventually, based on my needs and budget,it was the RCA VR651HF.My son bought me a JVC HR-A57U as a gift.We tried it for one day and returned it for the RCA model.It is so super simple to operate you don't need to read the instructions.Although you should eventually.Nice design in silver.Among all the things,besides price ...,that drove me to get this model was the universal remote that operates both the TV/VCR.A super buy.
Highly recommend it to any one who just wants to watch videos and record occassionaly.

All of your reviews that I have read describe the unit in glowing terms - BUT IS IT CABLE BOX COMPATIBLE & does it have a RELIABLE, EFFECTIVE COMMERCIAL ADVANCE???? - The reviews don't addrees these high end features even though I am almost certain that all the VR-650 series units have these capabilities.
