Exceptional picture and easy to operate. Records very well also. Got lucky and found a brand new one. Buy new if you can.

As far as I can tell, there's no manual tracking control on this. Automatic tracking is an imperfect technology even on a new machine, and it only gets worse over time. There needs to be a way to override it manually or the device is useless for a fair percentage of my tapes.

Picture quality is as good as I've ever seen for a S-VHS. I've had this for a quite a while and it still works well. I can't think of a single negative thing to say about it.

This recorder broke within a couple of years after I bought it. Enough said.

I've had this machine for over a year and experienced recurring problems with its performance. It frequently distorts the picture and sound when playing pre-recorded tapes and when playing tapes recorded in this machine. It seems to be constantly adjusting its tracking, so the picture breaks up and disappears about once per minute. It has had this problem since it was brand new. When it works, the picture is very good, but it works less than half the time.

I read a lot of bad reviews on s-vhs machines. I think people who buy these (& return them) miss the point. If you're gonna use 6 for 10 dollar tapes, or worn, well used tapes over & over again on the slowest speed, don't buy a super-vhs machine, use a 200-250 line resolution cheap VCR. If you want DVD quality, over 400 lines resolution video, use good tapes, & the high speed. With a good tape, the slow speed looks better than ordinary vhs though. The machines will also record & play ordinary vhs in the best quality available.Also, if you have a cheap, or small TV you won't notice much difference... buy a cheap VCR. If you have a high quality TV or widescreen (me-2 Wegas & a DLP projector) These machines are the most economical way to record DVD quality programming. Beware you get what you pay for, the cheapest s-vhs machines will not be as good as a more expensive one. If you got a Wega, something like it or widescreen, invest a little more on the VCR & tapes.I find there is 1 fundimental flaw with all s-vhs machines though. They seem to need a "breaking in" period where they won't record a nice pic in the EP speed in s-vhs. You have to use the machine in SP or ordinary VHS when using EP until the heads wear a little. The pic is better after after the heads wear down a little in EP s-vhs.As an electronics sevice tech, & a videophile, I'll never go back to ordinary VHS.
