Pros
and Cons of Toshiba SD-V392 DVD/VCR Combo
Pros:
- I was also scared
away from Sony and Panasonic after reading many bad reviews, and had locally heard
good things about Toshiba.
-The unit is reasonably easy to hook up to tv and
satellite dish.
-The sound on the TV improved after unit installed.
-Everything
works so far, recording, dvd player, etc. Haven't tried special effects on DVD
yet.
-The TV image while viewing a VHS tape or a DVD is good.
Cons:
-The VCR only records in SP and SLP, there is NO LP (4 hours on a tape) SETTING!
This is the setting most people use, and the most efficient, so why are all the
manufacturers dropping it? The new Panasonic units also do not record in LP, they
also
only use SP and SLP.
-Most of the internal components are plastic
now, my old 1995 Panasonic weighs at least five times as much as the new Toshiba,
as on the older unit most of the internal parts are metal.
The salesman said
that on the newer VCR's they have at least a 30% return rate in the first three
months, due to broken plastic components.
