JVC Home DVD/vcr Rec Combo, 1080P HDmi Output

I’ve had this unit now for about 2 months. My goal in buying the unit was 2 fold. #1 I wanted and needed to transfer VHS to dvd. #2 I wanted a decent quality vcr to replace well pretty much all my vcr’s that aren’t working now at a reasonable price. This machine so far has delivered. While I don’t think any dvd, vhs or combo quite have as many functions or lives up to the more heavy duty units of the past (my Magnavox lasted 25 years and only died do to surge from storm recently) I was pleasantly surprised that this unit doesn’t seem real cheesy like most. To me this was simple to operate right out of the box being familiar with other similar machines. It does not have a tuner built in but I didn’t need or want this. Personally I think units with built in tuners are a waste of time and you can’t get all the channels they would apparently have you believe. I prefer the built in hard drive which all but went away when the units with built in tuners came out. My only peeve about the unit is that when I transfer VHS I am having a difficult time figuring out how to create chapters? This may have to be done while in transfer process but if this is the case it devalues the unit somewhat so I gave ease of use 4 stars. It gives the indication you can do it after but I’ll have to read and see if I missed something. So far all my transfers have one long chapter but its still better than VHS convenience wise but still preferrable to have chapters. The only other thing I can think of that would have been a nice feature would have been a fast dub feature but I guess thats pusshing it. I hope these are available for a while. Seems these are quickly fading into oblivion even though it seems theres still seems to be a demand. Good unit JVC. Thanks.
