Sharp VCH822 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR
It's a VCR... what more to say?
I finally broke down and decided I should replace my old VCR since there really are quite a few movies with no immediate plans to be on DVD.<br />I picked up this one at a local store (um, and paid more for it).. bah.  It works.  It plays movies.  It plays them in stereo even.  I'm not sure how this model differs from other 'current' VCRs, since it's been a long while (um, 10 years?) since I last went VCR shopping, but it seems to have plenty of features, including my favorite, an \\"instant replay\\" button that lets it playback the last 20 (or 40, or 60...) seconds of a tape.  Great when you get interrupted in a movie or just want to see something again.<br />It's trivial to operate, but has enough features to make it useful (um, though honestly I'll probably only use it for playback of rented tapes...)<br />I guess the real question would be \\"would you buy it again?\\"<br />Yes.  It works, it looks pretty, it's cheap enough that I wouldn't spend ages agonizing over the decision.
