JVC HRS4600U Super VHS Hi-Fi VCR
Mixed Blessing
Although the JVC plays really well -- indeed, it has resurrected many tapes from my library that are nearly unplayable on other VCRs -- it has some serious shortcomings. For one, I'm having trouble playing retail tapes  -- some tapes you rent or buy to watch a movie just won't play on this VCR.  The VCR makes a winding down sound and spits it out. And just try to dub  anything with it! You can't use the jog/shuttle to advance/reverse frames  while it is in Record Pause. It does not pause immediately. It does not  begin recording immediately from Record Pause. In short: a great VCR to  play back tapes you've made from broadcasts, but otherwise: watch out!
