The Good, The Ugly And The Bad. Very-Very Bad.

by dkozin dkozin is a Lead on Epinions in Electronics, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10, Sep 07 '00
Pros: SONY's name, nice looks
Cons: Overpriced, poor quality of assembly, picture quality
OK, first let me tell you what I like in SONY. They make good magnetic media products; camcorders and image quality of their TVs and computer monitors is very good.

As you can see, I am not an ”absolute SONY hater”. And this review is...

The only Sony product I wish I didn't own

by Mordred , Mar 06 '01
Pros: VCR sets up easily, records nicely.
Cons: VCR has started inexplicably cutting off during recording and playback.
I've had the Sony SLV-779HF for almost 3 years now. I have a policy about only buying Sony products, mainly because they offer superior quality at a not so high price. For those who think Sony is high-end, think again. You can go much higher in...

Dont Waste Your Money

by Cynthia411 , Apr 04 '00
Pros: Lots of Features
Cons: Keeps shutting itself off
I bought this VCR last year. Since the time I have bought it the VCR has been returned to SONY 2 times for service. The VCR still does not work correctly yet.
I am in the market for a new VCR as I feel my time spent with Sony on the phone and...

A Great VCR For The Money

Pros: Features, price, fast rewind
Cons: Slow to get going
How This VCR Has Performed

My Sony SLV-779HF VCR has performed without a hitch over the past couple years. Picture recording and playback quality have been steadily good with no tape jams.

Don't buy a name

by Ahab1973 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jan 09 '01
Pros: Very easy to use. Some useful features.
Cons: Poor video quality, relatively high price
OK, so DVD players are all the rage right now, but vcrs can still do one thing that isn't yet economically sound to do with dvd, record. So, with that in mind, I thought I would write a review on this Sony vcr that I purchased about a year ago.

Sony Comes Up Short

by hayden , Dec 17 '99
Pros: Fits neatly in the box it's shipped in.
Cons: Doesn't perform as advertised without extra expense and time.
I bought this VCR because the product description said that it controls digital video boxes. Only after trying to set it up, did I find out that it will not control a video box until you order an attachment that costs an additional $14.95 and takes...

Great product, but not really

by gavriln , Jun 11 '00
Pros: great quality
Cons: bad dependability
I always thought that Sony is a good product. But, there really are two sides to this great product. That is, dependability and quality.

I bought this VCR about 4 years ago and since then I had to take it to the shop every year. Best buy...

Solid Unit, No Question.....

by Techsan , Jul 17 '00
Pros: Value, Design, Hi-Fi, 4 Head Technologies
Cons: Not loaded with every feature in the world
I purchased this unit for the few times that I do need a VCR and I am a very satisfied customer. My main criteria for purchasing a new VCR was 4 Head, Hi-Fi, decent remote and easy to use. I am not a big movie renter or a huge recorder of TV programs,...

All you need and more

by lmoore00 , Jan 25 '00
Pros: Good picture, user-friendly set-up
Cons: Rewind is not truly "high speed"
I am totally satisfied after I have seen the performance of this baby. I did think the price tag of 225.00 was kinda hefty for a VCR. But now a days VCR just don't play tapes; well at least not this one. I love the Audio\video cable connections on the...

Dependable Quality

by kevins10 , Dec 30 '99
Pros: Two A/V inputs, adaptive picture control, auto head cleaning, auto time setting
Cons: Need to use easy-setup to configure first time, occasionally need to manually adjust tracking
I actually own last years version of this VCR, which has the model number SLV-778HF. I've looked over the specifications on Sony's site and there appears to be no changes at all, just a new model number. I've owned my Sony VCR for a little over a year...

Easy for Anyone to Use!

by hal8991 , Jan 13 '00
Pros: Easy to use
Cons: A little pricey
This has been a wonderful VCR so far. I bought it to go with my Sony TV and have not been let down. I'm really not hard to please as far as TV's and VCR's go. I just need them to do the basics. Nothing fancy. I play tapes and set it to record shows...

Better than 679HF

by duh6017 , Mar 19 '00
Pros: N/A
Cons: N/A
I bought this product after a month I bought 679HF, because I needed to copy a tape (tape to tape)and also I wanted a better version of this product. It was better than 679HF, but it didn't change a lot. You will see what have changed with the...
