Title: extras great, core features poor
Review: I purchased this VCR as a primary unit in a home theater setup. Setup was smooth, especially the auto clock and auto channel setup.I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the Moview Advance feature actually worked. It's designed to skip the movie previews that are at the beginning of most commerical tapes. I tested this feature on a variety of tapes, and it worked as advertised. A great feature for those of us who's kids are exposed to enough advertising as it is.However, extras aside, I found the playback quality extremely poor. There were visible lines and "waves" that appeared on commerical tapes as well as tapes that the unit recorded itself. Adjusting the tracking did not help.I really wanted to like this VCR but it's going back.
Is the review positive or negative?
