RCA VR637HF 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR
More Imported Junk
The last VCR I bought was over $200. That was 10 years ago. I now know why there are so inexpensive, because they are junk! The quality of this VCR in no way compares to our older VCR. Come to think of it, our RCA DVD player is junk also. I guess you still need to spend money to get quality. After 10 weeks, I though this thing bit the dust when the front panel controls and the remote would no longer work, and a tape was stuck in the machine. I finally, pulled the power plug and everything reset. Of course, I had to go through the setup programming all over again. The picture quality is poor and playing with the tracking does little to improve it. But the most irritating thing is the lack of displays on the front panel. Not having a clue whether the VCR is on or not is a joke. Fortunately we use an alternate video input to our TV, so when we turn the VCR off, the screen goes blank. This is a backup VCR for us on a second TV. If that's what you are looking for and plan very limited use, get it. I found reviews on other manufacturers products in a similar price range to be worse than this unit. If you want this VCR as your primary source for recording and playing, look for something better. Go back to the $200 plus machines. Hopefully, you will get a little better quality.
