    Good Points: Very versatile recorder with a lot of really useful features that do take time to set up. The instruction book is comprehensive and easy to use and the facilities the machines offer well worth the time taken to set them up. The time is set automatically via teletext for instance. First class stereo sound you can hear also. Two SCARTS(Ist =in only,2nd = in/out) and aerial in and out. Everything else is auto.


    Bad Points: Front aspect is idle though the machine itself is narrow front to back.


    General comments: I bought two of Philips VR840 from Comet (on offer at £104 each) and they were a revelation set against the two 15 year old State-of-the-Art Sony's they replaced. Record -link works perfectly with both my Philips DTR1500 Freeview box and my Echostar sat receiver timers(one VCR for each receiver).
    The turbo rewind will rewind a full E240 in about 3 minutes.
    Word of caution.. it will show up cheap VHS tapes - you need to buy quality tapes for archive recordings if you want to realise the potential of the four recording heads.
