VCRs.(Product Updates)(Buyers Guide)
WHAT'S NEW
Falling prices for VHS models. The newly tested RCA VR651HF, Symphonic SL260B, and GE VG4250 join a growing number of VCRs that deliver good performance for under $100. Some basic units cost as little as $50 or so. Expect prices for VCRs to drop further still as DVD players and DVD recorders become less expensive.
A better picture. S-VHS models promise improved picture quality. The new JVC HR-S9900U delivered in our tests. But it costs a heady $500.
THE TESTS, THE RESULTS
We compared seven newly tested VCRs with models still available from our December 2001 report.
All VCRs deliver a sharper, clearer picture at their standard-play (SP) speed than at extended-play (EP). The $500 S-VHS JVC HR-S9900U did slightly better in both modes than the other VCRs. But it still can't match the picture quality of a DVD player.
Some VCRs are easier than others to program for time-shift recording. Among the easiest were the RCA VR651HF, $90, and Mitsubishi HS-U577, $130. Both models offer easy-to-set clocks and highly readable controls.
