+ It is reliable. It puts in the settings such as channels automatically.

- The buttons are not always intuitive. It takes a while to sort out how to programme recording.

Colin, Nottingham

+ Overall, a reasonable VCR for the money.

- I find the tape counter annoying as it's works through the TV rather than being displayed on the VCR's panel.

- The 'Throat' where you insert the cassette is devoid of cassette guides and has caused occasional cassettes not to eject smoothly

Bob, South Herts

+ The machine performs up to the level of my requirements and has been no trouble to set up.

- My only regret is that I mistakenly thought it had Video+ and hasn't. The instructions are also written assuming Video+ - but the remote differs from the instruction book in not having the Video+ button marked as such. I was left to find out why Video+ was not working.

- VCR tuner is not as sensitive as our TV. We live in poor reception area so the quality of recorded TV programs is poor.

- We had difficulty tuning the video to the TV. Although the video tunes itself intially, the programmes are in the wrong order, and efforts to correct them result in total failure.
