Product Description
It's true that videos don't last forever, especially the ones that get tossed around the family room, crunched underfoot and played over and over and over by your children. Go-Video Dual-Deck VCRs are twice as good as any other VCR. Patented Dual-Deck technology allows you to make picture-perfect copies of your videos at the touch of one button. Why settle for an ordinary VCR?Keep your home video library immaculate with the Go-Video Dual-Deck VCR from Sensory Science. Now you can make perfect original recordings of your kids' favorite TV shows and designate copies for everyday home use. Keep the original tapes in pristine condition, untouched and protected. And VCR Plus+ makes "programming" your VCR to record a breeze. Just enter the VCR Plus+ Pluscode from the local TV listing and specify which deck to record on. The 4x4 head DDV9556 Dual-Deck VCR is perfect for the electronics consumer who prizes advanced sound quality. It features MTS Stereo, Hi-Fi recording and playback, and QSound technology, which creates a 3D sensory sound experience from two speakers. With QSound you can choose from three sound settings - Stage, Cinema and Arena - and there's no need to install center and rear speakers for that. Great sound, great features, great Dual-Deck!
Amazon.com Product Description
With Go-Video's DDV9556 hi-fi dual-deck VCR, a number of recording and playback options are at your disposal. You can watch a video while recording a favorite TV program, record from two sources simultaneously, and play two tapes consecutively with video-sequencing playback and record. (The unit contains only one TV tuner, however, so you cannot record one channel while watching another.) Expand your home video library or make multiple copies of a single tape with EZ Copy one-touch duplicating, a process in which both decks communicate with one another. Tapes are cued, copied, rewound, then ejected automatically without accidental reuse. Date/time stamping documents your recorded movies and programs. VCR Plus+ simplifies conventional cable and TV recording. The event timer can handle 16 different programs over a 365-day period.With Q Sound, hi-fi audio is rapidly processed into a special signal that can be experienced over a standard pair of stereo speakers. Separation and depth are increased without compromising the original audio. The Go-Video DDV9556 also copies surround sound and can record from four different sources. Digital auto tracking also helps eliminate video imperfections. You can create your own home movies with eight-scene automatic editing. Front and rear audio-video inputs let you hook up a camcorder, video game system, or Web browser for added entertainment. V-chip technology lets parents monitor what their children watch. Go-Video offers a one-year warranty on parts, 90 days on labor.

 BUYER BEWARE! June 30, 2003

From the amount of money I spent on this thing I was extremly disappointed. First of all, it won't let you copy any real movies-it will eject the tape and say "tape is copy protected".
This is the main reason I bought the thing. Second of all, the #2 tape deck became contaminated and just showed wavy lines. I tried a head-cleaner tape but it didn't help one bit. No matter how I ajusted the tracking it wouldn't work. This occured just 3 months after purchase. BUYER BEWARE!

I have had this VCR for a few years now without any problems. In response to the previous review, The reason you cannot watch recordings clearly on other VCR's is that you have to make sure that the "other" VCR has the same SP/SLP modes. If you are trying to watch a video that you taped in SLP on another vcr that only plays and records in SP then you are going to have trouble viewing it clearly on anything other than a VCR that can handle various play and record modes.
 I LOVE IT !!!! November 30, 2001

I have had my Go Video for about 2 years - it works like a charm. It makes very good copies and is soooo easy to use. My Brother is on his second Go Video - he bought the 1st one ages ago when they cost a fortune and were quite unique. Have wanted one for years and finally the price is within reach.
 I could have done worse November 18, 2001
This really isn't the worst product I've ever gotten, but it has it's annoyances. My primary VCR tapes in LP, which I use frequently. However, trying to dub a tape in LP is horrible. If you put it in SP, it has this horrid red tint across the entire picture. If you put it in SLP (like the manuel suggests), it's almost unwatchable. And it also does not do well with SLP programs that either came from another VCR or are rather old. SP to SP is perfect though. I've also cut the ends of programs I'm dubbing off after pausing the tape to edit out commercials because the tape goes back 3-5 seconds. But it has come in quite handy and is easier than trying to hook up two VCRs together.
Not so sure. September 26, 2001

When this VCR is working properly, it's a great product. Unfortuantely, it didn't work properly for very long after I bought it. I have had severe problems with the vertical hold on tapes played or recorded on deck 2. Any tape copied on to deck 2 comes out unwatchabel on any other VCR due to the completely unsteady picture produced and tapes played on deck 2 also looks poor. No amount of head cleaning or tracking adjustment fixes the problem. I contacted the company via e-mail yesterday and have yet to receive a response. If I am able to get this problem fixed, this will be a great VCR, but if not, I will be very disappointed.
