When this player/recorder arrived, I was a little apprehensive since it had not been cleaned and was rather dirty and dusty on the outside. However, after I cleaned it and cleaned the head, it looked and performed well. I am quite pleased with my purchase for a very reasonable price.

The owner stated the unit is in good working order. The unit arrived to my home. I plugged it in the electric socket...Four buttons on the unit were not responding...the power button, play, rewind, eject buttons, inoperative. Lost 75 bucks...never again I would.

I do a lot of video updating & I needed a VCR that has all the features that bring out the best in the video playback. Since the DVD has taken over the video scene, most VCRs have very few features for this purpose. By going to the SONY website, I was able to determine what machine had what I needed. The SLV-N81 & the prior year SLV-N80, have a Reality Regenerator, Adaptive Picture Control & a sharpness adjustment. These make the perfect combination of features to enhance my conversions.
You cannot go wrong with this Sony. I have bought several different brands of VCRs, and Sony always has the best video and sound quality. I use mine every day. It's a true work horse and it hasn't failed. I don't know how it compares to the newer models because I haven't had to replace it. But if and when I have to retire this great VCR it will be with another Sony.
Arrived on time. Works very well. Even has the original remote. I am very pleased.
