JVC HRVP674 Hi-Fi VHS VCR
Good value for the price.
First the bad news about this VCR: The picture didn't knock my socks off.  In fact, I couldn't tell the difference between the picture on this JVC VCR and my six year old Memorex VCR.  Now on to the better news.  This VCR has  lots of features.  Additionally, you can access almost all of the features  from either the VCR's front panel or the remote (which glows in the dark,  by the way).  I also love the jog/shuttle dial on the front of the VCR--not  that I use it much, its just a nice high-end touch for an inexpensive VCR  like this.  No problems with the VCR either, but I've only had it for five  months.  Overall I give it three stars.  Okay picture, outstanding  controls, and all the features a movie-watcher would ever need this side of  DVD.
