JVC HRS3901U 4-Head S-VHS VCR, Black
Not the most user friendly VCR
It looks good sitting on top of the DVD player, the picture and sound are decent. So why am I not happy?  I have used VCRs for more years than I care to admit.  I have never, since my first archaic VCR had a problem programming them to record a show in the future even without opening the user manual.  The programming of this VCR is not at all user friendly! You would think to just hit the menu or program button and be on your way following a step by step menu to set time, date, etc.  But not on this VCR.  But even if you get past that part, I was frustrated because I could not just punch numbers to set the time and date for recording, it had to be done by half hour increments for time (without an am/pm toggle no less) and day increments for date.  I do not have time for that when I am trying to program the VCR on my way out the door to work.  I want to hit the numbers and keep it moving.  I typically love JVC products but this appears to be a poor relation.
