Rating  - Good VCR
I own two of the Sanyo versions of these VCR's. They were manufactured as the SANYO vwm-950, and the Sylvania 6260vd. I have had one of these VCR's for 2 1/2 years now, and one for just over one year. Both are working well, play great, with good picture and sound. I have them fed into my surround sound system, and it is excellent to watch movies with. I highly recommend this vcr for a low cost good output, and reliable way to play your old videos. 4 heads, stereo input and output, easy to set up and use. Check these out, good buy.
Rating - So far, no problems with mine, average VCR, decent picture quality,
I have had my VCR a little while now, and I have had no problems. I bought mine on Clearance at Target as an additional VCR for my guest room. I wanted it because it offered Hi-fi output (my old one was mono). This VCR is very similar to the Mono 4 head VCR by emerson sold at Wal-mart, and is identical to the Sanyo VWM-950 sold briefly at wal-mart. So far, I am happy with the performance, and have watched a few movies, even recorded a show. Yes, it is not a top of the line VCR, it feels cheaper and the remote feels the same way. I have a one year old Sony VCR and a 11 year old Panasonic VCR, heavy solid bricks that they are. But, as an extra player, this one was affordable and does its job well for me. Their are more solid VCRs like the sony or toshibas available for anywhere from 15-20 dollars more. Agree, VCR not for Heavy duty use, but good add in if you have mostly DVD's and need a VCR to play a few old VHS tapes.
Note: I did panic when I noted that the VCR did not have a channel 3 to 4 switch for output. Omaha has a brocast channel 3 that interferes with VCR output. But, sylvania has the answer to that, and it's explaned in the manual. default is channel 3. change the TV to Channel 4, insert a tape into the player and press and hold play for about 10 seconds, and the VCR will automatically change to channel 4. (i'm sure it will work the other way if needed). It cleared my picture up perfectly and I like the VCR so far.
Rating  - AN ABSOLUTE PIECE OF JUNK!!!
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.....
