Sony SLV-N750 Full Chassis 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR
Fooled again...
I purchased this VCR as a replacement for my failing Mitsubishi VCR which is several, several years old...I have owned many Sony products over the years and have enjoyed wonderful performance from them, so I had no quams about buying this model VCR...BEST BUY had this model so I bought it in late November 2004, and decided not to buy the extended warrantee..It wasn't til January 2005 that I opened the box and installed the unit, replacing the Mitsubishi VCR.  Upon turning the unit on, I saw a screen full of diagonal white lightning bolt-like lines dancing all over the screen, even with the unit merely turned on but no tape in the transport...It plays pre-recorded tapes perfectly, but video is terrible when recording, or playing back a self-recorded tape...Sony has a published website [...] to sort out vcr problems, and I tried that, which offered me no help whatsoever...phone calls to 800-VHS-SONY also answered by a voice response menu, then a busy signal when attempt was made to get a technician/company rep on the line..the notice on the box and the VCR says..\\"do not return this to the store\\"..this should have been a warning not to buy this unit!! so...no address in the box...over 30 days since purchase so BEST BUY won't touch it, so what do I do with it, a brand new vcr...??...Lee Cherry
