    We had to ask our grandson to connect it . We tried but a younger person has more knowledge about these things. Once we understood the general concept of operating the system, we have had no problems. I believe anyone would like this system. We are enjoying it!!

    The old vcr machines ran quieter then what this one does. It sounds like it's eating the tape. And this is the upgraded machine. Sorry

    I bought one for the bedroom (to record on) and then in just a few days I bought another for the living room. Both were replacements for older machines (not Toshiba) that had just worn out. I am totally satisfied with the performance of both theses units.

    I recently lost my VCR to age. It was unfixable and I still have a lot of movies I enjoy on VHS. I can now watch these movie, but I can also record some old family movies on to DVD before they degrade too much or are damaged.

    The DVD worked great. The VCR could not produce a picture. Tried different video cable (yellow one), no improvement. Tracking adjustment would not help. tapes all played on my other vcr I have.
