JVC HR-FS1U Vertical Hi-Fi VCR
NICE VCR FOR SMALL PLACES
I'M NOT A BIG JVC FAN, BUT I PURCHASED THIS VCR TO COMPLIMENT MY NEW JVC AV-36D302 36&quot; TELEVISION.  IT'S A SMALL COMPACT, LIGHTWEIGHT VCR THAT'S VERTICAL SO IT CAN GO ON A BOOKSHELF OR WHEREEVER.  IF YOUR ASHAMED YOU HAVE A VCR AND NOT A DVD PLAYER YET (LIKE ME), THIS IS THE VCR FOR YOU BECAUSE IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE ONE.  AS FAR AS VCR'S GO, THE FEATURES ARE GREAT: 4-HEADS, SUPER HI-FI, SEVERAL LANGUAGES, CLOCK, TIMERS, ETC.  THE ONLY THINGS I SEE WRONG ARE TWO MINOR IRRITATIONS: FIRST, THE VCR IS KIND OF LOUD WHEN REWINDING AND FAST-FORWARDING.  SECOND, WHEN YOU USE THE REMOTE TO FAST-FORWARD OR REWIND TO A CERTAIN SPOT YOU HAVE TO HOLD THE BUTTON DOWN.  MOST VCR'S ALLOW YOU TO HIT THE BUTTON AND LET GO AND WATCH THE FAST FORWARDING OR REWINDING TO GET THROUGH PREVIEWS, ETC.  THIS DOES NOT.  OTHERWISE I'M VERY HAPPY.  MY WIFE SAYS THE SILVER COLOR IS REAL 70'S AND OUT OF STYLE...HOWEVER EVERY BRAND NAME ELECTRONIC THESE DAYS IS MORE SILVER THAN BLACK.  I LIKE SILVER, A LITTLE DIFFERENT...HOPEFULLY IT WON'T GO OUT OF STYLE THOUGH.
