Philips VR621CAT 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR
An Excellent Hi-Fi VHS VCR At A Great Price!
I just got this and connected it to my Philips real flat screen dbx hi-fi stereo TV with P.I.P.(32PT81S) using only A/V cables. I put in a video immediately. It has an excellent picture! And it is very easy to use.<br /> Its menu can either be set in English or Spanish. It has a 1-year/8-event program timer. Its clock can either be set manually or programmed to set automatically through a PBS station's signals. I have DirecTV. So, I set the clock manually. I found it can not be set automatically through DirecTV like it can either with cable or an antenna. And I have its D.S.T.(Daylight Savings Time) activated. That way, its clock will automatically go back an hour in the fall and forward in the spring.<br /> I also like its auto tracking, instead of having to manually adjust that. Plus, in addition to its excellent picture, it has an excellent hi-fi stereo sound. And I like to be able to play it either in regular speed or slow. <br /> It does not have VCR Plus like prior hi-fi stereo VHS VCR's I have owned. But with DirecTV, I do not need that feature. <br /> I also like its various automatic timer adjustments for recording shows, movies or sports events. And I do not have to be home or have my TV turned on to record. As long as I have the right station tuned in and have the timer set to record, it does the rest.<br /> As easy as it is to use and set up, as well as its excellent Philips Magnavox quality and features, not to mention its low price, I highly recommend this hi-fi VCR to everyone!
