Sony SLV-N700 Hi-Fi VHS VCR
Sony SLV-N700 Hi-Fi VCR - A great buy!
I purchased this particular VCR approximately a year ago and have used it primarily as a recording VCR and have enjoyed its uses so far.  The only negative thing I can say about it is that when making a recording on this VCR and trying to play it back on my other Sony VCR in the living room, the tracking is a bit off but it adjusts itself soon enough which, for me, doesn't detract from the overall quality of this terrific VCR.  <br />One of the most important features in a VCR is the quality of the image and sound in playback mode and I've found the playback quality on this Sony VCR to be outstanding with &quot;near&quot; DVD quality in image and the Hi-Fi sound is as good as can be expected from a VCR; continuing to make me a Sony electronics customer.<br />One feature that is highly important to most people is ease in programmability and it really couldn't be any easier with this VCR especially given for the automatic presetting on the clock and TV channels that is fed from your cable company.  In just a few short steps, you can program this VCR to tape all your favorite shows, hit the power button and it's ready to do its job when the time comes.  Also, for recording your favorite shows, this Sony VCR comes with the VCR Plus+® System; making recording that much easier, providing you have your local cable listing.  Should you desire to run this VCR through your cable box, it easily sets up in that manner and works perfectly as well.<br />Feature wise, this VCR has the majority of the bells and whistles one could expect and desire for a VCR in this price range.  For parents out there that might be worried about young children accidentally hitting the power button and preventing a recording, this VCR possesses a child lock which eases that worry.<br />Overall, I'd highly recommend this or any other of the line of outstanding Sony VCR's as this is my second Sony VCR and in the future, should I need another, I won't even look at another brand!  {ssintrepid}
