I'm in the market for a VCR, but am unsure what's good stuff and
what's junk.  Talking to salesmen is pretty baffling, particularly
with all the fast talk. 

I've got friends with Panasonic and Fisher, both pleased with their
purchases.  In addition I own a Mitsubishi TV which I am extremely
pleased with, so my instincts are to trust in their VCR's.  I hadn't
even thought of Beta format until reading this group today.

I'd appreciate your comments on brands, pointers to good reviews (my
trusty Consumer Reports doesn't have the latest scoop, unfortunately),
and impressions on which bells and whistles are useful/superfluous.

I will summarize if there is sufficient interest.  Thanks in advance.
