Sony SLV-N88 4-Head Hi-Fi Stereo VCR description Housed in a silver chassis that complements Sony's Wega line of TVs and components, the SLV-N88 four-head VCR is a favorite among people who enjoy a little style with their substance. The unit's four dual azimuth recording heads deliver a superior picture in both SP and the slower EP mode--the latter nearly matching the former in clarity. In addition, the device employs hi-fi stereo recording and MTS stereo TV reception, allowing the user to enjoy optimal audio for both recording and playback. Other features include commercial skip, which automatically advances the tape 30 seconds at the touch of a button; flash rewind, which completely rewinds a T-120 tape in a mere 60 seconds; and an eight-event/one month programmable timer. Users will appreciate the plug-and-play setup, which lets people use the VCR right out of the box (the channels tune and the clock sets automatically). The multilingual onscreen display also enhances the user experience, as does the index scan, which helps locate a specific program on the tape without fuss. Rather than manual tracking, the SLV-N88 offers sophisticated digital tracking that automatically smoothes playback. The VCR also includes auto head cleaning, a parental lock feature, and front AV inputs for connecting to a camcorder or game system. In addition, the SLV-N88 is Energy Star compliant.

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | this thing really is a POJ.. piece o' junk! |
| I have bought much audio, video, and other gear over the years. I run a recording studio, and I edit video for a living. This VCR is in my living room, though... this is NOT part of a studio, just home use.
This VCR is a piece of junk when it comes to playing VHS tapes. Tapes are hit and miss. I just recently purchased a brand new tape which won't play properly at all, manually adjusting the tracking doesn't work either. BRAND NEW tape. I thought it was the heads, I thought it was defective tapes, until one by one tapes wouldn't work, or maybe they'd work for a little while and then stop tracking properly. The worst part is it took me until the unit was out of warranty to realize it was the VCR and not the tapes, due to the fact that it's rarely used in this era of DVDs. I have been a user of Sony gear for a long time, both their professional gear and their consumer gear... and honestly, if they care so little about their customers to release a product THIS bad I'm going to think twice next time. It doesn't matter that it's a cheap VCR, it STILL should play prerecorded tapes. There is NO excuse. At the very least, DO NOT buy this VCR. I understand some people don't have problems, and I respect that, but there are enough negative reviews here to give you pause. BUY another brand. |
