(5 out of 5)The perfect mid range Player !
Its hard to write a review about a video player in this digital age of DVD's and television channels that plus over the 500 mark. But if your looking for reliabilty and as clean an image as VHS can muster then the Toshiba V711UK is the one for you.
Simple interactive menus and a plane control allow even the most dumb witted of users a chance to shine - While for those who are looking for something more complex it offers Video Plus Delux, Satilite controlled recording - so you don't have to worry about changing the channels for your late night tapings, and even the option to lay seperate audio tracks when editing from your cam-corder while using its assembly edit capability.
However, it should be noted that its editing capabilites are purely for the home amatuer - there are no dedicated controls for this nor is a frame advance option via a spindle (though it is possible through the remote).
In combination with other Toshiba equipment this a dream as the remote has multifunctions that may be used on the rest of your set-up.
Meanwhile its extras, such as a clear picture pause, fast fast fast rewind! and its ability to sense if its running out of tape and switch from SP to LP are a god save!

This video recorder is the best. It does every thing that you could ever want a video recorder to do. It has the added feature of Video Plus+ This is good as you just have to type in a number and you can programme programs instantly.
(5 out of 5)It's a good Tosh!
It's a great VCR player; full of features; rock solid performance; great sound/picture. The auto setup feature worked flawlessly and I was enjoying this VCR within minutes. Nice on-screen logos - all very logical. It's what you would expect from a Toshiba.
(2 out of 5)dodgy tosh may catch you out !
just returned my 711uk back to supplier, the rear
sockets panel was loose, the three scart sockets
all are only fixed to this panel on one side, when you try and push the scart leads in, the socket gets depressed into the panel, and a poor or loose connection is made !
looked at others - they are all the same, bad design.
