The Sony SLV-N80 4-head VCR is equipped to not only record and play VHS tapes, but also deliver enhanced video resolution due to its Reality Regenerator. The enhanced video exceeds most VHS recordings, and comes close to the quality of digital broadcasting regardless of the recording source. Sony added such additional features as digital tracking, which adjusts the tracking automatically to smooth playback; commercial skip, which advances the tape 30 seconds when selected; and hi-fi stereo recording and MTS stereo playback. People who currently own Sony Wega TVs or other Wega components will appreciate the VCR's silver chassis, which is designed to complement the Wega line.
The VCR records in both SP and EP mode, while playing back in SP, EP, and LP modes. The slower EP mode is nearly as sharp as the SP mode due to the VCR's 19-micron heads, which reduce distortion and deliver a clear, digital-like picture. The SLV-N80 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 coaxial connectors, an additional set of composite inputs, and a set of composite outputs. In addition, the SLV-N80 is Energy Star compliant.

Not knowing the actual condition and no way to find out, I purchased this VCR with some trepidation--the most expsensive by the way--but, so far, it has worked perfectly and has met my expectations in every way. I hope it continues to do so.

As advertised, this is a used unit which, when I purchased it, had several independent sellers. In the description ***which is not authored by the sellers, but by Amazon *** it clearly states "What's in the box". This is clearly a cut and paste from the original manufacturer's (Sony) original description, where it states that it includes batteries, cables, remote controller, and manuals in addition to the VCR unit. I was unconcerned with the batteries, manuals, or cables, but one of the reasons I selected this unit was because I thought it would come with the remote. This was not the seller's error, but Amazon -- and there doesn't appear to be a way to complain to them. Therefore, the low score for the remote. Not sure what the heck "Sheerness" is relative to a VCR, and compared to current day, picture quaility of a VCR is crap. But for what it was, this unit was in excellent shape and the seller did the best he could.

It didn't work out for and I paid more in shipping than the item cost.

I was hoping to use this machine to play my old tapes. It operated okay but not in color, so I returned it to Amazon.

It worked but only after I ran a head cleaner tape through it twice. I only need this for playback to transfer media to my computer so didn't care about recording or if it had a remote.

I purchased the VCR for a friend and she says it's plugged in and working well. If you purchase one of these make sure to have the channel selector button on the back in the correct position. My friend had never had a VCR with this button and it took her a bit to figure out why it wasn't working. The remote doesn't appear to be functioning but that's not unusual on older used machines. The shipping was super quick.
