After our old recorder had given up for the umpteenth time his mind, had to get a new device. After intensive comparison of the Sony won. Repent, we have not yet. The set-up works very well for owners of Sony TV, it must be due to the corresponding function to be a no-brainer to define the channel positions according to the programming of the TV. With the VIDEO Plus + programming of a broadcast is press by 3 times and finished code entry. The main points: the picture is very good for a VHS machine in my opinion, the sound is very good in stereo. When recording broadcast in Dolby Surround program the device naturally has its weaknesses, a real surround sound not adjusts itself. My main problem is the coil. Although the Sony does the complete rewinding a cassette very fast, but precise coil hardly seems possible. If you press Stop it rewinds still merrily up to 5 minutes. Who wants to have to skip the advertising block so perforce to draw the picture search. A bit annoying is that especially during quiet movie scenes quite audible running noise. For this, the device compensates with stable housing and acting mechanism.
