Toshiba M265 2-Head VCR

Toshiba M265 2-Head VCR Review



Toshiba M265 2-Head VCR Feature

  • Full-loading quick-access system
  • Toshiba Pro Drum with flying preamp
  • Universal remote TV/VCR
  • One-touch record
  • Auto head cleaner
The perfect VCR for the kids' bedroom, or for anyone searching for an affordable 2-head model designed for watching rental tapes and off-air recording. Toshiba's M265 also has a convenient universal VCR/TV remote and an automatic head cleaner to keep the VCR operating at peak performance. The Toshiba Pro Drum with Flying Pre-Amp is an award-winning technology is exclusive to Toshiba VCRs, delivering the best VHS quality available. Toshiba completely redesigned the heart of the VCR--the head cylinder (or drum)--for the sharpest picture and clearest sound ever. The pre-amplifier is built directly into the head cylinder--just like in professional broadcast equipment--eliminating wiring that introduces noise into the audio and the video. The result is a remarkable improvement in picture and sound quality during playback and recording. With Toshiba VCRs, a coating of ions is applied to the Head Drum to give it a negative charge. This helps to repel the dirt that would normally adhere to typical Head Drums. Toshiba remote controls are the best in the industry, consistently winning rave reviews from critics. With an easy to handle, ergonomic design, it puts all the functions of your VCR at your fingertips. Toshiba's on-screen icons make it easier than ever to utilize all of the advanced convenience features built into your VCR. Just click on the symbols to make your choices. There are no arcane codes or numbers to remember or enter. The large fluorescent display makes it easy to see your VCR status indicators from across the room, even in dim lighting.
