Is there an easy to use vcr?

My tv and dvd sound are played through a good sound system, anchored by a Threshold S300 amplifier. So, my sound is good, coming through the small Magnepans. There is a need for a vcr, though I know they may be becoming dinosaurs. It is important that the vcr be easy to use - does such an item exist? A very old one that I have and which has died is a nightmare to program - an old Mitsubishi SVHS. It's been a while since any comments were made on Audiogon re vcrs and I hope my inquiry is not too offbase. Thanks.

I used to have RCA VCR with minimal controls and very darn simple that I bought in 1994. It's already a candidate for the donation in not working order. I now use Sony which is far more complicated but basic functions are all the same since stone ages. If you want something extra like magnifying pictures(to see some sexy close-ups) or activate a recording session during the night(with cable-compatible model) or any other extra-features than you should probably learn through manuals.
Sony VCRs have probably the best longetivity and descent sound.
Panasonics are probably the easiest to use nowdays.
