Sony SLV-679HF VCR
Not satisfied...
This machine is fine for watching movies or setting up the timer to tape programs while you're out; however, for my taping purposes (trying to tape specific segments of shows) I find it very frustrating. There is no memory  function for the counter so I continually need to adjust the tape's  position myself, and there is an annoying delay upon pressing record and  the machine does not start recording immediately (missing things when  trying to hit record on a program coming back from a commericial break when  I paused/stopped it). A few other annoying details as well; I will be going  back to Magnavox next time.
