JVC HRS2901U 4-Head S-VHS VCR
VCR Died after 4 months - used twice
If you do buy this (or any JVC), make sure you use it a lot in the first month, so it'll still be under warranty if it dies.  After that, maybe you'll be fine.  Also, and this is probably true of all JVC VCR's, I found it very difficult to use, and I'm very gadget literate.  <br />Funny thing is, I bought this just to transfer approx 10 tapes onto DVD (feeding VCR output into computer), and then probably wouldn't need it anymore.  I used it twice, and then couldn't even get the VCR to turn on.  Unfortunately, this was after 3 months of business travel, so warranty expired - out of luck.  When I called JVC, they said I could take it to a service center for an hourly labor - yeah right!<br />I noticed the fuse inside was blown, but every time I replaced it, it would just blow again.  I never liked JVC for other devices, but thought they might make good VCR's.  Now I will never buy anything from them period.
