JVC HR-S5900U Super-VHS VCR
don't waste your money
This is the first and last JVC product I will ever buy.  I have had it 2 months and still can't get it to function properly. I bought it for specific features that JVC advertises, none of which work. It says you can tape one channel while watching another- didn't work. They have you send away for a &quot;cable eye&quot; (which I assumed would fix the problem - it didn't) which takes 3 weeks to get to you, (by then the time limit for sending the vcr back for a full refund was exceeded - very convenient). The so-called &quot;customer service&quot; is a joke (plan to sit with the phone to your ear for 30 minutes)and when they do answer you get a recording about how your call is being taped/monitored FOR LEGAL PURPOSES! This alone should tell you what they are up to. When I finally talked to someone he told me that the tape-one-channel-watch-another function doesn't work if you have a cable box!! I bought the thing because it was advertised to program both the vcr and the black box with one VCR+ number!! Not only that, the plug-and-play and the auto-clock-settings don't work. When I first came to this web site there was a review similar to mine on it and I stupidly bought the thing anyway.  Don't throw your money down the toilet on this one!
