JVC HRS-9900U S-VHS VCR, Silver
Buyer beware of outdated VCR
This is a very expensive VCR for what you get. Not only is it a 2001 (not a current 2002)  model,  it fails to adequately handle digital cable. When I experienced problems in set-up, JVC customer service recited canned answers that failed to address my problem and instead tried to place blame on everyone but  their product. This was particularly  annoying because I had called JVC before purchasing this model and was assured by them that this VCR would control the full range of digital cable channels in its timed recording menu. I was very clear about wanting to timer record channels in the 500 range. I even explained that I was concerned because the new RCA VCR model I have only allows timer recording of cable channels smaller than 100 (my cable box has channels to 957.)  I do have a ten year-old Sony VCR that lets me timer record channels in the 500 range w/ no problem, so this capability cannot require current technology.<br />Despite the assurances of the JVC people, this model does not allow timer recording of channels above 199. Although that is a hundred more than my RCA, it isn't worth the extra money.
