Editorial Review: Product Description: Get it all on tape with Sony's SLV-N71 Hi Fi VHS Recorder. This Hi Fi Recorder features an Advanced Quickset Timer, which allows you to program the timer up to one month in advance; and Adaptive Picture Control, which adjusts recording parameters for the best performance, creating an ideal balance of picture sharpness and low video "noise" during playback. Zip past commercials with Sony Commercial Pass feature as you watch, and enjoy the entertainment Sony brings home.VCR Plus+ Timer Recording makes timer programming as easy as dialing a phone number. Adaptive Picture Control tests the condition of each tape and the video head adjusts both playback and recording parameters to optimum levels. Sharpness Control lets you adjust fine detail using the remote and on-screen display. Advanced Quickset Timer Dial makes it easy to program the timer up to one month in advance. The EasySearch system provides an on-screen navigation bar showing your current position on the tape. Simply place the cursor on the section of tape you want to watch and - instantly - the VCR finds it. Push one button and the built-in menu system guides you through VCR set-up. Multibrand TV Remote operates power, volume, channel tuning, and more for most major brands of TV. Index Search automatically fast-forwards to the next recorded program or rewinds to the start of the previous recorded program. To achieve maximum picture quality from tapes recorded in EP mode, this Sony VCR incorporates 19-micron heads. They maximize the video image, while minimizing distortions caused by crosstalk. The SLV-N71 sets its own clock, using special date and time signals broadcast by local PBS stations. It will even update itself for Daylight Savings Time, power outages or simply forgetting to set the clock. Amazon.com Product Description: Don't miss a minute of your favorite shows or tapes. Sony's SLV-N71 is packed with convenience features designed to simplify recording and viewing, from one-month, eight-event advance programming to Commercial Pass. Your camcorder or gaming console plugs right into the SLV-N71's front panel for hassle-free connections. This model's four-head design ensures smooth slow-motion play (forward and reverse) and clear still-frame images, and with hi-fi sound the unit records and plays back stereo audio tracks. If you route the stereo output to an AV receiver, you can even enjoy four-channel (left, center, right, and monaural surround) Dolby Pro Logic mixes from TV and Dolby-encoded cassettes. The SLV-N71's dual-azimuth construction uses two pairs of recording heads rather than one, each optimized for a specific mode (one for SP recording, the other for EP), while 19-micron heads deliver the clearest possible picture when recording or viewing in EP (extended-play) mode. For setup, a single button calls up an onscreen menu to guide you through VCR setup, including parameters for features like menu language select, satellite receiver or cable-box control setup, and auto tuner presets. The VCR automatically marks the tape with an index signal at the point where each recording begins so you can easily scan back to the start of a recording using these signals as a reference. The VCR's advanced Quick-set timer dial makes it easy to program the timer up to one month in advance. Press the dial once to activate the timer, then turn the knob to set it. You can adjust start and stop times in one minute increments. VCR Plus+ further simplifies programming, as it lets you set the VCR to record programs based on common PlusCode numbers found in the TV listings of over 600 newspapers and TV Guide--no more worrying about start and end times for your most frequently recorded shows. Commercial Pass makes it easier than ever to zip past commercials and unwanted "coming attractions." Press the button once to go into high-speed picture search; press it again and the VCR stops, rewinds a few seconds so you won't miss any of your movie, then plays. Adaptive Picture Control (APC) tests each tape and adjusts recording parameters for the best performance and adjusts playback for an ideal balance between picture sharpness and low video noise. ChildLoc circuitry keeps small hands from going where only tapes belong. With the handy one-hour timer back-up, the VCR saves timer data for up to one hour in the event of a power loss. The unit comes with a multi-brand TV/VCR remote control.

 Rating:  - Agonizingly slowThis VCR is slooooooooooooooow. When I am watching a movie, and I want to do a rewind-while-play, I expect the VCR to be able to handle it. My old Sony VCR model #SLV-660HF was quick, so shouldn't the years newer model SLV-N71 be much much faster? Well, apparently Sony doesn't think so. It takes, I am estimating, 4 times longer to do a "quick rewind" while the movie is playing. That's my first complaint. My 2nd complaint is that the time it takes for the VCR to begin recording is way, ... Read More Rating:  - Great, but not perfectThis is a great VCR. Audio and video quality is great. Recording quality is great. The SP sound quality is slightly better than the EP, but the video quality is almost the same. However, it's a bit noisy especially while recording. If it was not for that, I would definitly give it five stars. Rating:  - If you have a DSS system, don't buy it.If you are planning to record from channels on your DSS system while watching others on your TV, do not buy this VCR. I understand why this is difficult to do, but the SLV-N71 gets no stars from me for not telling me ahead of buying it that it cannot do this. Rating:  - Good VCR, but has key problemJust a heads up for those checking out reviews prior to purchase. I bought this Sony after going through 4 other VCR brands trying to find both good audio AND video quality (not having to choose between one or the other). The Sony audio is great, setup is great, solid construction is great, remote is easy to use. Even playback quality of pre-recorded tapes is good. But recording live programs is a problem because the tuner in the VCR is not up to par. Using the VCR as the tuner, obviously necessary ... Read More Rating:  - Almost PerfectI've had this one for almost a year now. One of the few VCRs on the market that has full metal top/side cover, along with full 17" component width. The construction feels substancial and solid. The coaxial cable supplied is thick and of high quality. It supports XDS(Extended Data Service) that not only displays TV station call letters, but also program names in most cases. Too bad our local PBS station doesn't supply XDS clock signal that I can't get the auto clock setting to work. I can't ... Read More |
