A Few hiccups, 2 Mar 2003
I love SONY Electronics, any product i have interest in immediatly, so i decided to get rid of my Sanyo VCR and get this SONY VCR, i have never owned a SONY VCR before, but i splashed out on the most expensive! Anyway to the point, the rewind is extremely fast, ive never seen such speed, however, it goes so fast you have to stop it before the time you want as the fast motors have to slow down, it passes on the counter about 3 mins. The VCR has a very high pitched noise among it but the Stereo option is amazing you automatically ignore it, i have the SONY DAV-S400 system and it is perfect through this. I had A LOT of difficulty with the Record Timer, the settings are correct but the VCR does not seem to record, i turned off the VCR by the socket then turned it on again and it has been fine since. Another good thing is the automatic setup, it searches, sorts and names all the channels it finds. Plus the time is automatically set through arial signals. I have a MONO SONY WEGA 14" TV, however, now it is a STEREO TV and it completely adds effect to live broadcast programs and films, the unit has a Phono output on the back to plug into any HIFI or Audio equipment. The remote is plain and to the point, very nice and the buttons are not scattered everywhere. The unit has a tape remain function which tells you how much of the tape is left. The Smart trilogic is perfect, i have had no bad picture, anyway, if you dont like it you can turn it off. The Dial Timer is excellant, so easy to tape a program, you can time a program in under 20 seconds without having to turn on the TV! The pause quality is perfectly still and you can use slow motion and go slow motion backwards. The front AV inputs are good for Video cameras, the unit has 2 Scart sockets around the back, a phono output and Antenna in/out. Oh, when i rewind a video, sometimes it is so fast it vibrates the desk! I dont know if that is cool or bad! The on screen menus are very user friendly, all in all, i love it, it has all the features i wanted. One extremely annoying thing about the VCR is that the sound from whatever channel the VCR is on comes slightly through the sound while you are watching a video, i solved this by setting the VCR channel to one one the Line inputs, i put it to Line 2, this solved it. Good work SONY.
