  • Don't Copy That Tape

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 23, 2001
    Pros: Low cost, Front Inputs
    Cons: Copy Protection

    Summary: I planned on moving my old Sharp hi-fi VCR to the bedroom, and I decided to go on the cheap side and spend less than $100 for a new VCR replacement for the family room. I didn't audition this VCR before buying it, rather I bought it knowing I could ... read more

  • Another Winner From Sony

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 7, 2001
    Pros: Front RCA jacks, good picture and sound quality, easy to use
    Cons: None

    Summary: I try to buy all of my electronics from Sony, because generally they're of excellent quality. The Sony SLV-N50 doesn't disappoint in regards to that. We also have a Sony DVD player, so we didn't want to spend an arm and a leg on a VCR, but we still ... read more

  • Lots of useful features! Lots of quality! Little price....

    Pros: Cheap, Full of USEFUL functions, Good quality
    Cons: None

    Summary: I bought this VCR yesterday, it was the cheapest Sony they had available. I only want a cheap VCR - why bother buying an $800 VCR when it still plays the same quality VHS tapes and will never match the quality of a DVD player? The VCR ... read more

    Pros: Picture and Sound Quality
    Reliability
    Clean On-Screen Displays

    Cons: Supplied Remote Control

    Summary: I bought the N50 back in October, 2000. Since then, the machine has been used daily for a three hours. This machine replaced a 1988 Sharp VC-M701U - which had its transport tantrums with a tape inside. I had looked around various shops for a deck ... read more

  • A Steal for $99

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 18, 2001
    Pros: Inexpensive
    Cons: No TV/VCR ot SP/EP indicator on unit

    Summary: After my Mitsubishi HSU-53 went to VCR heaven, I needed to get a 2nd Hi FI Vcr to dub tapes from my still alive Mitsubishi HSU-650. I chose the Sony because of the brand name and the $99 Price. I had purchased a Hi-Fi VCR from Philips which was horrible. ... read more

    Cons: None

    Summary: If you are looking for a high-quality VCR for your basic video needs, but don’t want to be paying above $130, the Sony SLV-N50 is the perfect one for you. This well-rounded VCR has a number of great features and will work best if you just want to use it ... read more

  • Maximum Bang for the Bucks!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 24, 2000
    Pros: Good quality, low price
    Cons: lacks S-Video

    Summary: I needed a moderately priced stereo VCR to replace an old mono unit. I really wanted front input jacks because I often dub from camcorders and because it would simplify using a Playstation for my kid. I wanted good quality, but since I have DVD I ... read more

  • An inexpensive HiFi VCR

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 22, 2001
    Pros: Inexpensive, hi-fi stereo, useful features like commercial skip
    Cons: Found auto-tracking to be dubious

    Summary: I bought this VCR recently at Target, because it was $99 which seemed like a great deal on a Sony VCR, because Sonys are usually pretty good and more expensive than other brands. I am pretty pleased. This VCR is HiFi Stereo which is a step-up ... read more

  • Not as User-Friendly as my last VCR was!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 24, 2001
    Pros: The commercial skip allows you to "skip ahead" 30 seconds at a time.
    Cons: Not user-friendly.

    Summary: What prompted me to buy this SONY VCR when I was so fond of the Panasonic I owned that had recently died? Well, the $99 sale at Wal-Mart had, and a husband who said, “Oh no, get the Sony” when I called him from my cell phone… The reason I didn’t fight ... read more
