RCA VR704hf 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR
non-Direct TV users-- beware
I was given this VCR brand new still in the box.  I hooked it up, set the time, the preferences, etc.  The thing was awesome or so I thought.  When you get to the end of the programing it tells you that in order to finish, you have to turn the vcr off and it will flash &quot;down&quot;,&quot;load&quot; over and over until it's finished.  That's just great if you live in the city.  If you live where you can't get any local chanels without Direct TV, it will never stop flashing &quot;down&quot;, &quot;load&quot; as long as it's turned off.  In other words,the only way it will display the time on the front is with the power on, which defeats the whole purpose of the &quot;power save&quot; feature.  If you have Dish Network, like I do, the vcr won't communicate with the dish to even set the auto daylight savings time.  That all is agrivating, but tollerable, but after less than 50 hours of playing &amp;/or recording with it, It started the &quot;Err&quot; message any time you try to do anything with a tape.  You set it to record a movie, turn the power off, think it's working fine, and when you check after the movie starts, it says &quot;Err&quot;.  I think this is the worst vcr I have ever seen in my life.  I would strongly suggest you pass on this model.
