VCRs

While progressive scan DVD players may be the talk of the town in the world of home electronics, there are still high-quality VCRs on the market for those of you who own extensive VHS video collections. You do not have to rebuild your movie library from scratch, especially with Super VHS (S-VHS) technology available to you. Here at Newegg, we offer both VCRs and VCR-DVD combination units.

If you want the highest video quality, be sure to buy a VCR that can play in S-VHS mode. Some VCRs in our online catalog can even play standard tapes in S-VHS quality, which is anything over 400 lines of horizontal resolution. A typical DVD player has approximately 500 or more lines of horizontal resolution. The difference is hardly noticeable on many televisions.

Recording and Editing with High-Tech VCRs

The most high-tech VCRs have new features for excellent recording and editing options. Using some VCRs, you can actually dub audio and insert edit, which is impossible when using older VCRs. If you do a lot of recording, look for a VCR with DigiPure technology. This digital feature makes the recorded tape a nearly exact replica of the original television program or VHS tape.

Another great option is called a cable eye. A cable eye acts as a remote control for your cable box, and you can use this feature to time your recordings. As long as you keep the cable box on, the cable eye will change the channel at a set time and automatically record. As you can see, modern VCRs are advantageous over older models. Here at Newegg, we offer a wide selection of discount VCRs at all price ranges.
