Sylvania 6260VF 4 Head VCR

• Compact, full-featured 4-head VCR; measures 14.1 x 8 x 3 inches (WxDxH)
• Schedule to record eight programs for up to one year in advance; one-touch recording capability
• Freeze frame, slow motion, and frame by frame advance; auto rewind and repeat
• Easy hook-up of camcorders or video game consoles via front A/V input; also includes RF and A/V input/output connections on back

It still looks brand new and it broke after only a few months. Put a tape in the machine, it plays for a minute, then stops, and the tape pops out. Tried several different tapes, and the same thing happens, so it wasn't the tape. Cheap!!

I got this thing on closeout for about a Ulysses S. Grant. I got it to replace a rather expensive Sony VCR that gave faithful, quality service under heavy, daily usage for at least 5 years. I tried really hard to hate this thing, or find a reason to return; not. I have to admit that it is fully capable, budget VCR with no untoward habits, so I am forced (reluctantly) to give it top rating.

Issue #1

The menus are hard to set up, the instruction manual only of marginal use, and you will take a lot of trial and error to figure out how to set up the menus. I keep pressing the wrong, doggone button. However, this is not unlike the old Sony, so PAR for this issue.

Issue #2

Lightweight, plastic, cheap, Made-in-China quality. The footprint of this thing on the shelf is barely half of the Sony. It barely weighs more than a bag of movie theater popcorn. So what else is new? PAR.

Issue #3

The instruction manual is pretty sketchy. I am still trying to figure out how to use the program-search feature. However, I have yet to ever see a VCR manual that is complete and easy to understand. PAR.

Issue #4

How long will it last? Judging by the hard, mechanical 'klunk' of the various relays in this VCR, I suspect that it's lifespan is better measured in months rather than years. So what? At the price, I have no problem with just buying another one. Certainly, the 'extended' warranty is a waste of money; when it craps-out, just by another one. BIRDIE.

This is a very poor vcr. I have only used it a few times and when I put it on "record" it will stop recording halfway thru the program. This also happens when I use the programmable recording. Either way its a piece of junk. I've bought different brands of tapes and it doesn't make any difference. If you are able to record (which has only happened once) the playback is awful. Save your money!!!!!!

I just purchased this yesterday morning at our local K-Mart, & even though this is definitely not the first VCR that I've ever had to connect, neither the picture nor sound would show up/sound on our TV no matter how much I fiddled with the connecting cable(Our TV is quite old, but not broken....)!

Also, the Fast Forward Button just wouldn't work on a completely re-wound tape(It only started working after I had loosened up the tape by using the Play Button on the tape for a few seconds....); & this thing'd make extremely loud noises whenever I pushed a FF, Rew., or a Stop Button.... I've ended up returning this item within an hr.....

I purchased this item and was very surorised at the speed it was deliveredBUTI connected it and was going to record a program that i really wanted ,as it was the only time it was to be aired. i put a tape in the slot-NOTHINGto make a long story short i contacted the service dept of sylvania and got the address and phone nr, of the closest waranty repair shop-72 miles after a trip there and a wait of three weeks i finally had my recrder back. so check carefully anything you buy on the web
