Toshiba W622 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR

Rating:
Summary: Good for the Price
Review: The Toshiba W622 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR is one of the better VCRs on the market. It plays back tapes with a very good image and has one of the best pictures around. This unit has a 4-head 19-micron video system in Hi-Fi for very good stereo sound. That's an excellent feature that gives you great versatility. It also has commercial skip. Pre-recorded tapes play back with an excellent picture too. How good a picture looks is what it is all about.

Summary: good vcr, but not a universal remote
Review: This is a very nice machine, with 2 lines in, which helps me manage a system which has outgrown the inputs on my receiver. It also has an extremely fast rewind and fast forward--a definite plus. However the remote is not universal, contrary to the description--and one of reasons I chose this model over another Toshiba with the same features except for that. It will control Toshiba TVs, but that's all. It also only lets you program 6 selections over a month, instead of the 8 which seemed to have become standard.

Summary: Big disappointment.
Review: This VCR is very complicated to program to record. It will not record triple digit channels, which was why I bought it. I guess if you only watch videos and don't record it will do okay but if you want to record things forget it!

Summary: Great buy
Review: This VCR showcases great quality from Toshiba, as well as wanted features. The commercial skip is handy, but I do not find it particularly useful as it seems a bit slow, and just forwards 30 sec, whether it is commercial or not. The picture is nice, and you HAVE TO LOVE the digital tracking feature. You can even see it working cause on the screen, for a few seconds, you cn see the digital tracking control automatically moving to set it for best quality. No problems! It's a VCR with a brain.
