JVC HRS7600U Super VHS Hi-Fi VCR
Best For The Money.
This has got to be one of the best SVHS VCRs versus cost.  Many of the features are geared towards video editing, and it does this extremely well.  Unfortunately, JVC recognized they made a mistake, by offering such a terrific product, and it hurt the sales of their higher-end HR-S9600U unit.  JVC no longer makes either HR-Sx600U series.  The latter generations of the 7600, namely the 7800 & 7900, have fewer features, and feel much cheaper when you pick them up.  The 7600 was heavy.  The 7800 & 7900 are light, and feel as if they would break if you sneezed on them! ;)   I am sorry to see the 7600 go.  If you are interested in editing your own videos, and you can find one of these, it will be the best VCR you can buy for your $$$.
