Sony SLV-N750 Full Chassis 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR
Sony's SLV-N750 works fine for me.
I was surprised to read all of the bad reviews on this site, the customer reviews on Circuit cities web page are a lot more positive. The Sony VCR I purchased has a very good picture, both on tapes that were previouly recorded and on tapes from this machine.  I also bought all new connecting wires to make sure I get the best image. With my old wires my picture was not as clear as with the new wires. It is also best to replace all old wires, if you're having a problem with picture quality. That may be the problem, not the VCR. <br /> <br />No matter which VCR you buy, make sure you use the Audio/Video (AV) hookup, that way you get the best picture and sound quality. This is the best VCR that Best Buy and Circuit City sells. If you want a better VCR, buy a Mitsubishi or JVC in the $350.00-$450.00 price range online. Otherwise this VCR is a good choice (for $80.00 it fits the bill and does what I expect). <br />
