Overview
Playing and recording tapes with hi-fi stereo sound is the core job of this four head VHS deck, which sets its own clock and finds channels at setup. A universal remote runs the TV, cable box and satellite receiver too.
Easy setup and a remote that controls the rest of the system make it simple for anyone to use. It skips extras like front inputs, so camcorder transfers need rear connections.
Who it's for
Families replaying tapes and recording the odd broadcast get a simple deck. Those transferring camcorder footage regularly should find a model with front inputs.
Pros and cons
- Hi-fi stereo sound
- Universal remote for other devices
- Auto clock and channel setup
- Time stamp on recordings
- Front inputs not listed
- Remote batteries not listed as included
Performance notes
Four heads give cleaner pause and slow motion than two head decks. Hi-fi audio tracks carry stereo sound when the tape was recorded in hi-fi. Picture quality also depends on the condition of the tapes.
