So I'm on this VCR more than satisfied, since it is very easy to use. You need at all to study any manual to cope with the device. He has also come up with two functions that have thrilled me completely: on the one hand, the recorded program can recover without long coils and search by pressing just one button on the remote control and the recorder automatically searches for the beginning of the recording, regardless of whether the recording is at the beginning or in the middle or at the end. No long annoying Search more! The other great feature is that when the end of the tape is errreicht during recording suddenly the display 5min. appears and then countdown default counted down to 0. Thus one knows exactly how many minutes remain one to insert a new cartridge. I had previously already several VCRs, but these great features, I still knew of no one; I would buy this luxury machine again and again because it gives me a lot of joy.
