Title: Very very disappointed
Product review: This unit really is disappointing. It has easy set-up and decent features, but the sound and picture quality are very bad. Audio playback is noticeably muted. I had been using a Samsung for 12 years and would continue using that same unit today if not for the fact I had to open it all open it all up to retrieve a snagged tape - and then never got it back together right. So I thought, well it is time for a new VCR anyways. I have always liked Sony equipment - TVs, CD players etc. However the images on this one are just plain bad - even on the best tape speed. You can not see details on people's faces, colors wash together and there is a lot of noise on screen. Compared this unit right next to a friend's old Funai and theirs is so much better. Went back and forth hoping that maybe it was my set-up. But in recording and playback, this Sony really stunk. I am returning mine and looking for something else. Oh, if I could only have back my old VCR!
