Philips VR620CAT 4-Head HiFi VCR
Good entry level VCR
I got this VCR the same day I got a Phillips home theater system, so I went with the Phillips VCR. Because of circumstances, I use this VCR mainly as an NTSC tuner, of which it does well, although I am not critical while watching TV. The unit plays tapes well, given the limits of VHS. Sounded good also. Hi-Fi can get pretty close to CD quality, which means it can compete against or surpass some Dolby 2.0 tracks on DVD. I haven't utilized the recording features, so that is up in the air. If you are looking for nothing special, just something to play your tapes in, a Phillips VCR can't do you wrong.
