Samtron SVG-92 4-Head Hi-Fi Stereo VCR
Amazing value!
This deal is just too good to pass up. The Samtron SVG-92 VCR provides excellent video and audio quality for a price that will make you suspicious... but fear not - despite its bargain basement price, this is a truly capable VCR. One of its nicest, most useful feature is the 400x rewind. I'll admit that I didn't appreciate this feature until I used it a couple times - and it comes in really handy when you have some friends over and everyone is waiting for you to rewind the movie. In my informal &quot;bencharks,&quot; it's not quite 400x, but nevertheless you actually can rewind an entire full-length movie in about 40 seconds. <br />One-touch recording is also very handy, which brings me to my main point about this VCR - while it doesn't have a bunch of the extras present on much more expensive VCRs, fortunately the features Samtron chose to omit are for the most part the type of features you never actually use, and the ones they choose to include are the really useful ones that you find yourself smiling about every time you use this product. I also find this VCR to be much quieter than others I've used - I nice touch. <br />While to my taste it is not the most attractive looking product, I would much prefer to spend the money I saved on something other than good looks (and it's not bad - just not great). The quality is good, and it seems to treat my VHS tapes very gently, which I really appreciate. I'll admit that the &quot;HQ video circuitry&quot; that supposedly improves picture quality by improving details is probably not something that you're going to notice (&quot;Man, check out this new VCR's amazing picture quality!&quot;) but in any case, the picture quality is just fine. Of course, for a much superior picture you will consider a DVD player, but for those of us who want an affordable, reliable, easy-to-operate and well-designed VCR for those old tapes we have and times we want to record something, this deal is just too good to pass up.
