Sharp VC-H965U 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR
LOVE THIS VCR!!!
This is a great VCR. I have had it for a few months and I had the previous version for several years. I probably use the VCR for recording or playing something two or three times a day. It has a super fast rewind, which is fantastic (for when you are trying to make it to Blockbuster by noon). <br />I just wanted to write a review to say that there is a way to reset the counter, but clearly people have trouble figuring out how to do it. It is rather simple, you just make the display show the counter (by pressing the display button the the remote) and then you press the cancel button (on the remote) and it resets the counter to 00:00:00. <br />Another thing, I noticed when I was reading deciding which VCR to buy that a reviewer or two said something about this not having a manual and I was very concerned by this.  Well, it's not true at all.  This VCR DOES come with a manual, when you buy it new.  I would guess that some others buy it used or from other sellers, and well, at that point, it's really their own responsibility to make sure it includes a manual.  Also, when I spoke with Sharp, and if you have proof of valid purchase of the machine, they will send a new manual.<br />All in all, this is a truly excellent VCR, especially for the price.  I have had more expensive VCRs that just have not been as dependable, they broke down much sooner, something happens with the clarity of the picture, or a problem starts to develop with the rewind or fast forward.  I have had no problems with this VCR or its previous version.  I would highly recommend this for anyone who is looking to save a little money, but wants a good, dependable machine.
