Cheap Philips VR621CAT 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR (Electronics) Price

This model's 4-head design ensures smooth slow-motion play (forward and reverse) and clear still-frame images. Hi-fi sound gives the unit the ability to record and play stereo audio tracks. If you route its stereo output to an AV receiver, you can even enjoy 4-channel (left, center, right, and monaural surround) Dolby Pro Logic mixes from TV and Dolby-encoded cassettes.

You can schedule ahead using the recorder's 1-year, 8-event programming, and the unit weighs a mere 5.5 pounds--perfect for quick moves from the recreation room to the bedroom or living room when needed. Features like a bilingual (English, Spanish) onscreen display, auto power off, auto digital tracking, auto rewind, auto eject, and the ever-handy auto clock set greatly simplify setup and operation.

The deck's dual-azimuth construction uses 2 pairs of recording heads rather than 1, each optimized for a specific mode (one for SP recording, the other for EP), while its 19-micron heads deliver the clearest possible picture when recording or viewing in EP (extended-play) mode.

When tape playback begins, digital auto tracking automatically seeks the optimum tracking position in the tracking range, and the optimum audio-signal tracking position for the clearest picture and sound. Buttons on the remote transmitter give you manual control should tracking adjustments be necessary.

SmartClock with time zone select is a menu-driven feature that maintains the correct time, regularly checking and updating the time if necessary. It also resets the clock after a power failure. The menu-driven time-zone feature allows selection of appropriate time for those who live in a time zone other than that of their cable service provider or broadcaster.

With one-touch record you can record up to 8 hours of programming--or to the end of the tape--at the touch of a single button. Each touch of the OTR button adds 30 minutes of additional recording time. Program by remote control for unattended recording with onscreen visual verification. Onscreen menus lead you through normal, daily, or weekly programming by program number, channel to be recorded, start and stop times, speed, and date of recording by day, month, and year.

Finally, the supplied multifunction infrared remote control commands all operating features and functions of this VCR, plus select functions of most Philips, Magnavox, and select other brands of television sets, as well as some cable converter/decoders and the standard features of Philips, Magnavox, RCA, and Sony digital broadcast satellite receivers.
