Funai Corp. DV220FX5 Dual Deck DVD and VHS Player

This was a blessing. Now my tapes play again and most go back from 1989 until 2001. They all worked and still looked very good considering the technology which at the time seemed modern. I bought this because my other two players I had since the 1990s stopped working basically. Each one with a different problem. Tried everything so rather than buy a refurbished model for the same price I decided to try this one out. Plus most of the refurbished one's do not have a remote control still with them. This also has a DVD player which I haven't tried yet but a double bonus. I got this to transfer tapes to my Windows 10 laptop. I had to purchase another device that so far I haven't hooked up but I truly am expecting little or no issues. At least with the player. If something should happen within a month or so I will update this product. All I can say is get it while you can. This seems to be going up in price every other day. It does not have a tuner so recording from live TV won't be easy but today we have TiVo and DVR's on either our satellite provider or cable so not needed. The product seems flimsy a bit. Not the heavy quality of my past VHS players but as long as it works long enough for me to transfer my dozens of important tapes then it paid for itself. I suggest buying a tape cleaner cartridge too. The heads get dirty plus old tapes are worse in causing this. Good luck and hopefully your's will be a great purchase like mine. I know some had bad luck by reading the reviews. I never give 5 stars so unless your tapes are in extremely bad condition you won't be sorry.

Hooked it up today. This is my second time buying this VCR. The last one I bought in March for myself. It is still going strong. This one was for my aunt. The picture quality isn't as high as you'd expect, but this is the cheapest vcr I could get my hands on.

We infrequently use the system now, but it works fine.

Just over one day in use, and so far so good. The machine does what I expect it to do. I can program it to tape TV shows so I can view them later, as I choose, and at my convenience, There is no digital display on the face of the machine, but of course you really don't need it, since your TV will interfaces and displays: The VHS/DVD position, the tape speed (SP/SLP), and the current time. Going to 'setup' allows menu access for timer settings, clock, language,auto repeat function, and a satellite link setting. VCR's are not so easy to find anymore; at least not in retail stores. I don't mind all the new technologies as long as we can keep using long trusted technologies like the VCR, which have proven to serve their purposes well. Finally, I'd like to thank the folks at 'Funai', for building this sweet little machine.
