Featuring plug-and-play setup, commercial skip, 60-second flash rewind, and instant replay, it offers user-friendly convenience. Digital auto tracking ensures smooth picture quality, while 8-event programmable timer and versatile AV inputs provide flexible recording options. Energy Star certified and equipped with hi-fi stereo recording and MTS stereo broadcast reception, this VCR blends vintage charm with reliable performance. ## Description desertcart.com The Sony SLV-N51 four-head hi-fi VCR satisfies your recording and playback needs, offering such features as commercial skip, which automatically advances the tape 30 seconds when activated; flash rewind, which offers a complete rewind of a T-120 tape in a mere 60 seconds; and instant replay, which skips back a few seconds to replay a compelling scene or bit of dialogue. The device also employs a plug-and-play setup, so users can be up and running in mere moments (the channels and clock tune automatically). Video performance is enhanced by the dual azimuth four-head recording and playback, which enables two speeds for SP mode and two speeds for EP mode. The slower EP mode is nearly as sharp as the SP mode due to the 19-micron heads, which reduce distortion and deliver a clear, digital-like picture. Users will appreciate the convenient multilingual onscreen display; the crystal-clear freeze frame, frame advance, and search modes; and the index scan, which helps locate a specific program on a tape without fuss. As opposed to VCR's with manual tracking, the SLV-N51 includes sophisticated digital auto tracking adjustment that smoothes playback. The VCR also employs an eight-event timer, auto head cleaning, a parental lock feature, and front AV inputs for connecting to a camcorder or game system. In addition, the SLV-N51 is Energy Star compliant. What's in the Box VCR, coaxial cable, remote control, two AA batteries, user's manual.

Review: NO MORE JWK ELECTRONICS - Thank you for the refund of the initial payment. Unfortunately, I spent much more, like $5.00 at the beginning ,for returning not working remote control, and $ 14.19 for returning your VCR, which DID NOT RECORD in my place, even with the help of a mechanic. "Auto programmed" went well, all channels logged in,I could watch them on my TV set, but IT DID NOT record needed program, and I ordered it TO RECORD programs. It just DID NOT work! I lost so much time,and so many programs I have intended to record, not mention above expences, and got a lot of aggravation on the top of it. And VCR set , even, as I knew about it, was refurbish, but dirty, not cleaned properly, like was long standing in dusty place. Believe me, NEVER AGAIN with your JWK Electronics, as not reliable.

Thank you, Barbara Berner Item being reviewed Sony SLV-N51 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Great, Exactly What I Wanted *by W***. on January 2, 2021* This VCR works great! I did a lot of off & on searching for a replacement for my old Sony over the summer and into the fall. This caught my eye because it's a Sony, was priced fairly, and the seller had good reviews & feedback. I always wait for a few weeks at least before reviewing electronics & this VCR I've been using since October 2020 . It's almost identical to my old one, came with a Remote that shipped in the same package as VCR, so that made it even better I didn't have to wait to use it. So far it has performed flawlessly, & is a much better option for me than the more expensive VCR TO DVD converter machines.
