LG LV880 Nicam VHS Video Recoder

• Super Slim 81mm Nicam VCR
• SP/LP modes
• PDC (Program delivery control)
• 7 Programme/1 month event programming
• OSD Menu
• Auto Tracking
• Auto head cleaner
• High-speed rewind
• NTSC playback on PAL TV
• 16:9 conversion
• 2 x SCART sockets

It's feature-packed to make the most of your old tapes including Auto-tracking and Optimum Picture Response and the fast rewind is super fast.

The only negative on mine is that although you're supposed to be able to use Video Plus+ to set the timer, there's no button to enter this function on the remote they sent me. However on the plus side, although it's only supposed to have 4 heads, it says mine has 6 on the front of the machine! Go figure..

Overall, I'm very pleased with it, it looks good, is easy to set up and use - a great product for the price.

This VHS player is incredible...
I have never seen quality like it off vhs tape - all the old tapes, we have, (some 20 years old!) look pretty much as good as dvd (on a smallish (20") high spec LCD monitor - NOT HD).

HOW DO THEY DO THAT ??

As a bonus it plays 525 NTSC tapes as well - just about the same quality.

The sound quality is good - not Hi Fi but GOOD.

It's going to save a fortune on kids entertainment - think charity shops at 25p a go.

I don't understand the negative reviews, they ALMOST put me off, you've got to remember the definition of the old TV standards- 525 line NTSC and 625 line PAL, maybe these folk expected HD quality from VHS? (and its no noisier than any other VHS machine)

I for one am glad I followed the rather fewer good reviews, and the reason for writing a review - IT IS GOOD, VERY GOOD

Now its time to archive all the oldies as H264, on computor...
