Toshiba W727 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR
Disappointed
Like another reviewer here, I bought the Toshiba W727 based on its supposed ability to work with the cable box to change the channel on the box. Even with an old analog box I couldn't get the feature to work. I thought maybe it needed a newer box, so today traded in my analog box for a digital box, and of course it can't switch the channel on that, either. I've spent several frustrating hours over the past few days trying to figure out this problem, only to now find that there's no way this VCR is going to change those cable channels! <br />I've also found the manual difficult to follow, though if you can figure out where to start, once you get to on-screen programming that's pretty clear. I haven't dared try VCR Plus programming; not even sure I can do it with my cable/vcr/tv configuration. <br />The picture quality, however, has been very good. All in all, though, I kind of wish I'd bought the similarly highly rated and slightly less expensive Sony SLV-N55.
