Overview

An older TV setup with tapes to play is the setting for this Emerson VCR, which has audio and video inputs on both the front and the back. Digital tracking and small heads are the features the listing highlights.

Choose it for straightforward tape playback with a quick start and a front input for a camcorder or game system. Almost everything else about the unit is left unsaid in the listing.

Who it's for

Playing family tapes and connecting a camcorder to the front inputs suit the layout. Buyers wanting a DVD drive, a stated tuner or a remote should choose a combo unit or check the full manufacturer details first.
