| Tech_23's Full Review: JVC HR-S4600 VCR |
With digital VCRs soon to come down to the price range of average users, Super VHS doesn't look to have a bright future. But if you are in need of a VCR now, or presently have only a mono VCR, then S-VHS is for you. I got a very good deal for this unit over the internet. So I couldn't pass it up. Plus, I fit in the mono VCR category. Once it arrived, it was very simple to set up out of the box. And I was surprised at the definite quality enhancement over other normal VCRs.
Features that stand out: Super VHS ET (lets you record in almost S-VHS quality on normal VHS tapes), Auto Clock Set, Multi Brand Remote, Cable Box Control
Some of the things I don't like: The menu system isn't that great. Compared to an old Panasonic I have, it isn't as intuitive to program. When you set the timer to record, you have to push a special button on the remote to activate the timer. I've missed some programs because I wasn't used to this. Also, while on this subject, why do you have to turn off a VCR to activate the timer? Doesn't make any sense to me.
