Summary: Not worthy of Sony name
Review: Sony brand has high reputation for quality. But for VCRs somehow Sony seems to have lost its focus. This was my second Sony VCR. I love Sony brand, so when the first VCR started chewing my tapes, I bought another Sony. This one doesn't chew the tapes, but its rewind is the slowest. It takes about 30 seconds to start rewinding. Ironically, fast rewind was an advertised feature. No more Sony VCRs for me.To be fair, I must say that I am not going to buy any more Sony TVs either. But the reason for that is different. The reason is that the TV that I have (Trinitron), just doesn't break down. It has been over 10 years, but it keeps going as new. Why can't Sony make their VCRs as high quality as their TVs?

Summary: zeroing in on the remote isn't easy!
Review: The vcr is easy to set up and to program but it has a few very annoying quirks such as lining up the handheld remote in line with the receiver on the unit. The field seems very tight-can you image having to get up from your chair to direct aim the remote? The second issue is that the fast forward to play button doesn't react very quickly so you miss the beginning of the next sequence of the show.

Summary: Good VCR
Review: This is a good vcr with excellent slow motion playback at the EP speed. Remote has tiny buttons but very full-featured. It is not very good at playing back homemade tapes made with other vcr's especially for pause and slow motion. Rewind to 0000 is aggravating; it bounces back and forth narrowing down to 0000 numerous times. All in all convenient features and good picture quality.
