Toshiba SD-V392 DVD/VCR Combo , Silver
Toshiba SD-V392 VCR/DVD Player Can't record in LP !!!
Pros: <br />- I was also scared off Sony and Panasonic after reading many  bad reviews, and had locally heard good things about Toshiba. <br />-The unit is reasonably easy to hook up to tv and satellite dish. <br />-The sound on the TV improved after unit installed. <br />-Everything works so far, recording, dvd player, etc. Haven't   tried special effects on DVD yet. <br />-The TV image while viewing a VHS tape or a DVD is good. <br /> <br />Cons: <br />-The VCR only records in SP and SLP, there is NO LP (4 hours on a tape) SETTING! This is the setting most people use, and the most efficient, so why are all the manufacturers dropping it???  The new Panasonic units also do not record in LP, they also <br />only use SP and SLP. <br />-Most of the internal components are plastic now, my old 1995 Panasonic weighs at least five times as much as the new Toshiba, as on the older unit most of the internal parts are metal. <br />The salesman said that on the newer VCR's they have at least a 30% return rate in the first three months, due to broken plastic components.  <br /> <br />
