Expensive, but satisfactory.

by Greg , Apr. 13, 2004

Comments:
The cost of this machine is outrageous. Luckily, it performs great (well almost). While the quality of PAL to NTSC conversions is quite good, the reverse is not as good. There is noticable motion stuttering when converting from a 60 field to 50 field s

QuickTake:

Pros: Hi-Fi Stereo, MTS Audio (N. Amer), good video quality

Cons: No teletext, No S-Video jacks, No flying heads, lacks memory

Recommended: Yes

Consider a different VCR

by Harry Cooper , Aug. 7, 2003

Comments:
This unit was given to me as a gift and after less than 15 hours of use it broke down. This happened to be 13 months after it was purchased. Samsung customer service was no help to me at all. The build quality of this rather expensive unit is simply awful

QuickTake:

Pros: Good conversion and playback between formats

Cons: Awful build quailty.. unit failed 2 times and needed repair.

Recommended: No

Has Owned Product: 8 months
