Editorial Review:
Amazon.com Product Description:
The Sony SLV-N81 four-head VCR is a step up from most video recorders, as it coordinates between your VCR and cable box/DirecTV receiver using a cable mouse unit. This allows users to take advantage of the Pluscode numbers published in many TV directories, which include the date and time of the selected program. Merely enter the Pluscode number when using the VCR's programming mode, and the recording timer is set. The VCR's video performance is ensured by the four-head recording and playback, which enables two speeds for SP mode and two speeds for EP mode. The slower EP mode is nearly as sharp as the SP mode due to the 19-micron heads, which reduce distortion and deliver a clear, digital-like picture. In addition, the device employs a hi-fi audio recording system, which delivers a wide dynamic range and full audio frequency response.
Other features include auto tape speed, which automatically adjusts the tape speed from SP to EP if the programmed recording time runs longer than the remaining tape; adaptive picture control, which tests each tape and adjusts the playback and recording to receive the best picture quality; and commercial pass, which zips past unwelcome program interruptions. The SLV-N81 also employs plug-and-play setup, which automatically tunes the channels and sets the clock so users can enjoy the device straight out of the box. Other features include an eight-event timer, auto head cleaning, a multilingual onscreen display, a parental lock feature, and front composite inputs for connecting to a camcorder or game system. Other inputs and outputs include a coaxial connector, an additional set of composite inputs, an S-link connector, and a set of composite outputs. In addition, the SLV-N81 is Energy Star compliant.

I liked this VCR until I had to get it fixed. It was a minor thing, though, so I wasn't worried. I was, though, ticked off when I was told (essentially) "Buy a new VCR!! We don't want to fix it!! It's too much of a hassle, and it just costs too much!!!" I found this odd. Especially since the VCR was (at that point) barely a couple of months old, and was under a warranty. I almost had to drag them kicking & screaming into their repair shop just to get them to do what they were supposed to. ... Read More

Prior to purchasing this particular VCR a couple years ago I'd only ever purchased JVC VCR's. As a matter of fact, at that time I'd been pretty heavily into JVC products but through word of mouth and some exploration at the stores, that was about to quickly change; this was but the first of several Sony electronics purchases that have all proven to be quite well made through years of enjoyable usage.
One of the most important features in a VCR is the quality of the image and sound in ... Read More

I've only had Panasonic VCRs in the past, but had to take back two bogus (poorly designed and produced) models in the past year, so I did the research and tried this unit. It's awesome, with easy, logical programming and the finest picture available from material it records itself. The EP picture is surprisingly clear and noise free, and there's no comparison between the quality video of this unit compared with the dull, lifeless and grainy recordings and playbacks of Panasonic units.

Maybe I just got a lemon, but after only two months we've had nothing but problems. At least once a day when trying to put a tape in, it refuses to take it and then the entire machine seizes up - it won't even turn off or on. The only thing to do is unplug it and then turn it back on. Today I had to send it in for a warranty repair when after unplugging it, it still wouldn't do anything. This is in addition to it suddenly stopping while it's recording. Set it up to record, come home and find ... Read More

OK, I did my homework. Researched many vcrs before deciding on this one. Went out and bought it. Brought it home and hooked it up...and guess what?? It won't record!!If you have cable or satellite you need a "cable mouse". ....I don't have scrambled channels and don't need the cable mouse yet this vcr will not work w/o the cable mouse. So I took it back and bought a totally different brand, that I am very satisfied with.
