Hello all

I have spent the past hour on search engines and unable to find the PDF Users Manual for a Sharp vcr model VC-A573U.

Can you help please?

BTW I would have asked at an elevtronics group but most appear dead.

Sorry if this is a bit off topic. Any leads would be helpful. Thank you

actually a obsolete device, like a buggy whip:)

note a DVR is now affordable, easier to use, and far more convenient.

you cant start watching a program recording on a VCR till its finished recording.......

with a DVR that easy and just one advantage, no tapes to mess with.

[LouB]

Yabut you can not save the recording in the box with other old tapes:-((

[Jim Elbrecht]

Sure you can. Just hit 'record' on your VCR while playing back on your DVR.

or DVR the show, watch later and skip thru the commercials while recording to a disc which takes up very littl;e storage space:)

[Jeff The Drunk]

On an hour show there are usually 21 minutes of commercials.

And remember if you have an HD DVR and record a lot of HD shows, your rated recording capacity is about half of the advertised.

[bob haller]

if your currently using a VCR is unlikely high def recording

[Mark Lloyd]

I've found 15 to 19 minutes (except on PBS, where it's 4 to 8).

[bob haller]

I rarely watch commercials I skip past them:) giving me more time for other things:)

[Cheri]

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like the commericals are more frequent than that in the past few years, even on network TV. I can't watch anything in real time anymore, except football, and the commericals are terrible there too.

I'm often editing video (from Replays) to remove commercials. There are more commercial breaks in new shows (including one just a few seconds before the end of some).
