As far as VCR picture quality is concerned I'm quite happy to say
that I made the wise choice and purchsed a Mitsubishi (recently on the
market) T.V. and accompanying VCR.
The picture quality from these two in tandem is 400% better than the old
FISHERS and RCA decks I owned previously.
ALthough I'm no VIDEO or AUDIOPHILE, I do enjoy good quality reproduction
in my tapes.....the $580 I dropped on the VCR was and is quite worth it..
but I just can't see purchasing these features;
 
PIP (Picture in Picture) *
S-VHS
HI-FI
 
* WHen you have cable..this feature is practically useless
 
The S-VHS might be high quality stuff, but like someone said; "Who wants to
spend a KILOBUCK?"
Same goes with the HI-FI....for pete's sake...I *HAVE* a stereo and
the two extra head on the VCR means 6x10^23 more KILOBUCKS in repair costs
when it's time to replace it....just plug the output from your
VCR or T.V. into the AUX on your stereo and you can turn your brain
into jello pudding just as easily.
 
WHY ONLY 1 in 100 VCR buyers purchase S-VHS ?
 
A: Because the other 99 invested in computers.
