RCA VR661HF 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR, Silver
Lacks important features
This is overall a good vcr but it lacks some really obvious features.  The lighted display on the front tells the time, etc., but it does not tell you when the unit is playing, rewinding, fast forwarding, etc.  It does have a record indication, but it is so small  you can't read it from 5 feet away.  This may seem trivial, but when I am on the couch, I like the visual feedback of what mode the vcr is in when I'm going back or forward through a movie, or when I'm recording.  Seems like pretty simple features that it ought to have, and I have always seen on other vcrs.
