[access-uk] Re: VCR Recommendation Sought

Dave & Caroline,
The talking VCR came from LG.  As Dave says, it rather frustratingly talks to 
help you through some of the menus but stops at some of the vital moments.  I 
have one which would be about the same age as Dave's and mine hasn't blown 
up...yet.  Its sound reproduction is actually very good.  But I don't know 
whether you would find it any longer.  I'll just check the model number...

Nope, the machine itself appears not to carry the model number and we no longer 
have the manual.  sorry.  QVC might be able to tell you what it was even if 
they have none left.  

Cheers now.

Ian

  The talking VCR you mention was sold on the QVC shopping channel.  It did
  talk, up to a point, but was not a particularly good machine.  I had one,
  but it blew up, almost literally, at the end of last year.  My local Dealer
  tried to get a replacement, but without success.  I cannot remember the name
  of the manufacturer, but it was a fairly popular make.  I would not
  particularly recommend it.  I now have a JVC machine which is okay, but is
  not particularly blind-friendly.  However, I do have the Cobolt talking
  remote control, which works pretty well, although there is no facility on
  the remote for changing the tape speed.  It does work with many of the
  popular machines.

  Not sure that this is particularly helpful, but I cannot really recommend
  the talking VCR even if you can get one, which is unlikely.

  Hello,

  My video recorder has given up the ghost and I am looking to replace it.

  If anyone has bought a VCR recently and has found any model to be
  particularly VI-friendly, I would be interested to know about it.

  A year or two ago I remember hearing about a talking VCR which received
  mixed reviews.  Is this model still available, does anyone know, and if so,
  would you recommend it?

  Thanks,

  Caroline.
