The VCR is in my eyes functional but not very comfortable. If I compare it with my Grundig GV 650 in 1997 (admittedly at that time a very well-equipped model), then the device know some comfort deficits. For the function follow-TV: it has to be confirmed manually each channel acquired from the TV. Or the ShowView programming, here too, every single point of the ShowView - calculated numbers are confirmed manually. Then, the VCR must also be switched off manually to accommodate the programmed recording. The programming process is therefore a bit awkward, the other was earlier more comfortable. In addition, the device in the ShowView programming does not always detect the transmitter, which then as a channel number. must be added manually programmed. The sound is slightly back in comparison to my hi-compatible predecessor, when connecting the VCR to my Hifi per (shielded) RCA cables it scatters a hum, which is me an inadequate earthing (admittedly but could also be due to my electric installation) , The device has a good image and rewinds back and forth very quickly. Since the VCR technology is obsolete now, and more than EUR 105.- investment thus make no sense, it is an acceptable device that will serve its purpose to the complete renovation of the home Cinemas, but significant convenience weaknesses.
