Housed in a silver chassis that complements Sony's Wega line of TVs and components, the SLV-N88 four-head VCR is a favorite among people who enjoy a little style with their substance. The unit's four dual azimuth recording heads deliver a superior picture in both SP and the slower EP mode--the latter nearly matching the former in clarity. In addition, the device employs hi-fi stereo recording and MTS stereo TV reception, allowing the user to enjoy optimal audio for both recording and playback. Other features include commercial skip, which automatically advances the tape 30 seconds at the touch of a button; flash rewind, which completely rewinds a T-120 tape in a mere 60 seconds; and an eight-event/one month programmable timer. Users will appreciate the plug-and-play setup, which lets people use the VCR right out of the box (the channels tune and the clock sets automatically). The multilingual onscreen display also enhances the user experience, as does the index scan, which helps locate a specific program on the tape without fuss. Rather than manual tracking, the SLV-N88 offers sophisticated digital tracking that automatically smoothes playback. The VCR also includes auto head cleaning, a parental lock feature, and front AV inputs for connecting to a camcorder or game system. In addition, the SLV-N88 is Energy Star compliant.
