Sony SLV-N51 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR
Junk
I have owned Sony VCR's in the past and wanted to replace a 4 year old model with this one. What a piece of crab this is (actually all of Sony's new models are junk, since I replaced this with slv-n81 and same story!).  The picture quality is really bad even when recording is from digital cable.  Rented video's do not look very good either.  If your looking to buy a vcr stay away from this year and last year's models. Ever since Sony moved it's production to Mexico, their quality has gone down dramatically. Sad!!
