Summary: Please don't buy this!
Comment: this is a waste of your money...the vcr motor is extremely LOUD...a lot of audio noise gets leaked into the video cassette as well...rewinding a tape in this will no doubt wake the next door neighbors and the front auxilary input doesn't work...the image gets distorted by brightness defects.

Summary: Junk from the moment I took it out of the box
Comment: I bought one of these from a local store. Even when brand new, it would emit a high-pitched noise through the speakers whenever I played a tape. It didn't matter what kind of tape - one recorded on this machine, another machine, or a pre-recorded tape. Oddly enough, if you recorded a tape on this machine and played it back on another machine, you didn't get the noise while it played. Anyhow, it was really annoying.

I will say this much for it - it "worked", such as it was, for the better part of a year. I must have recorded about 40 tapes on it. All in 2 hour mode, since the 6 hour mode quit working after a couple of weeks. Eventually it started eating tapes, and now when you put a tape in it, you can push buttons and nothing happens, though it will eventually turn itself off. When you turn it back on, it ejects the tape.

And from reading the other reviews, it sounds like I got one of the better ones.

Summary: JUNK!! BROKEN!!
Comment: It looks brand new but it doesn't work!! The tape would play for a minute, and the machine would stop, then the tape pops out. I tried several tapes, and the same thing happens. No warranty, so it was a waste of money!!

Editorial Reviews:

Sylvania's four-head VCR features mono VHS recording and playback, a 1-year, 8-event programmable recording timer with one-touch timer recording, and onscreen menu display. The 6240VE's four heads provide finer picture quality than VCRs with just two heads, and its automatic head cleaners remove dirt and contaminants every time you insert or remove a cassette in order to preserve that clear picture.

The 6240VE lets you freeze frame, view in slow motion, and advance frame by frame, as well as gives you two quick-search speeds (5x and 15x) when view tapes recorded in SLP (super long play) mode. Digital tracking lets you search for a specific point on the tape either by time or index, with a real-time onscreen counter. The VCR can be programmed and customized through onscreen menus, which can be displayed in English, Spanish, or French. Its 181-channel, direct-access tuner can accommodate up to 125 cable channels and offers the convenience of automatic channel programming. The 6240VE also includes automatic repeat play, a useful feature for demonstrations or tradeshows.

The 6240VE has a set of A/V inputs in front for easy connection of camcorders, digital cameras, and game consoles, in addition to RF, composite-video, and mono audio inputs and outputs on the rear of the unit. It includes a 27-key remote control.
