Sony SLV-N750 Full Chassis 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR
Very Decent SONY Unit
Good VCRs or any VCRs for that matter are fast becoming a scarce commodity. I still make it a point to check out VCRs and the like whenever I get a chance to get to the store. I love to comparison shop this stuff. The quality and dependability of SONY's VCRs over the past few years was in a sad state of decline from that of the late 80s and early 90s. SONY made some very good VCRs in the past. SONY's SLV-N750 4-Head HiFi VHS VCR continues to demonstrate a genuine effort to return to the type of quality product they were once known for. This unit makes very good recordings. Pre-recorded tapes look excellent as well. What really impressed me was the playback image of EP recordings. I observed that black & white movies recorded in EP look better than those recorded in SP, which is a little hard to explain, but friends and members of my family agreed. However, I have found this true of all the recent SONY VCRs that I have seen on the market since 2002.  This unit also has an incredibly fast rewind. I also found the Quasi S-VHS playback to be very indispensable. If you have a collection of S-VHS recordings this unit plays them back with very good results. I like the Front A/V jacks and time-shift recording is extremely easy. The silver finish has kept up with the trend to get away from dark colors in the past few years. Essentially this is a good unit.
