This affordable VCR has 4 heads to give you a great picture in all speed modes and an 8-event/year timer so you can program it to record your favorite shows whenever they're on. The Quasi S-VHS Playback function allows you to play an S-VHS tape at VHS resolution, while each press of the Commercial Skip button breezes through 30 seconds of recorded commercials.
The VC-H960U is a strong basic model, offering the clarity of four-head recording and playback and a host of Sharp convenience technologies. This model's four-head design ensures smooth slow-motion play (forward and reverse) and clear still-frame images, while hi-fi sound records and plays back stereo audio tracks. If the stereo output is routed to an AV receiver, four-channel (left, center, right, and monaural surround) Dolby Pro Logic mixes from TV and Dolby-encoded cassettes are available.
Sharp Super Picture enhances fine image details, while 19 micron Exact-Track heads ensure the clearest possible picture when recording or viewing in EP (extended-play) mode. With EZ Set Up, all VCR tuner channels and clock are automatically set up for both air and cable channels. With Skip Search, the VCR zooms forward in 30-second intervals to bypass commercials, while Instant Replay quickly performs reverse scanning in 20-second intervals, then resumes playback.
Rewind speed is approximately two minutes with a T-120 tape (the speed may be slower for tapes other than T-60, T-90, or T-120). The unit comes with a unified remote control.
