Toshiba W607 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR
Excellent Product, with Some Quirks
Picture quality and sound are excellent, the rapid rewind feature is terrific, and the unit's full-size chassis makes it fit in nicely with standard A/V gear, if that's a concern.  The remote is unusually well-designed and convenient.  Whenever the unit is powered off, a loud  &quot;bump&quot; sound comes through the speakers--this isn't the case with  any other VCR I've tried, including an earlier Toshiba model.  And when one  is watching TV, the unit defaults to &quot;Display&quot; mode, showing  time, channel, and program information superimposed over the TV image--one  has to press the &quot;Display&quot; key twice to clear it, an extremely  annoying inconvenience...
