Sony SLV-N51 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR
Absolute Junk
I had two Panasonic VCRs that worked flawlessly for almost 10 years. I replaced one of them with this Sony model and have had several problems after only one year. As other users have noted the tracking totally stinks, especially when watching tapes recorded on another VCR. There is no way to remove the tracking lines. Adjusting the tracking only lets you move the lines up and down the screen. Move the lines off and the picture starts jumping. It has also chewed up two tapes so bad that I had to take the cover off just to remove the tape. Sony makes good high-end electronics, but they must outsource this cheap stuff to some lousy contractor.
