JVC HRA591U 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR
Horrible product
After about 30 days of use, this unit ate tapes and the timer did not work.  After sending it away for 7 weeks to an authorized JVC service location, I got it back and the auto tracking (and the manual tracking for that matter) could not provide acceptable video output.  Also, a tape got stuck in the carriage and when I went to pull it out, it caught on the cheap plastic cover on the tape opening and broke it.  JVC will only reimburse me for 1/2 of the product cost for a product that I got little to no usage from.  Oh well...  Stick with Sony.
