Poor VCR Tuner for UHF Stations; Interference Through CH 4
The UHF business station I record everyday moved to another, weaker, UHF channel. I was forced to put up a powerful, commercial grade, Winegard outdoor antenna. After installation, this weak UHF channel on my TV was reasonably clear. However, on my 6 year-old GE 4 head mono VCR it was very poor, so I had to replace it.
The Sony SLV-799HF, while sending through channel 4, gave a lot of interference or it simply didn't work well with my 2 year-old Sharp stereo TV. When I used RCA cables, the picture was clear. If your TV doesn't have the RCA-type inputs, I don't recommend this VCR. Nevertheless, even with the RCA inputs, the weak UHF channel was WORSE on the Sony than on my GE. I tried using the Sony's manual tune feature for the UHF channel, but it didn't help.
Because it did a poor job of picking up the new UHF Business channel, I replaced it (about 2 hours later) without checking its playback capabilities. If you need to receive a weak UHF broadcast station with a lot of noise in the signal, the Toshiba M-765 is a good model to get. The Toshiba M-765 gives a very clear picture, even with a UHF channel which only transmits at 3K watts. You might also want to look at the Panasonic PV-9664. All of these models are similar in price.
Feature disappearing
Sony used to be unique, now they seem to be following the crowd. the lastest VCR, when taping,the channel is not showing on there SLV-779HF, I also have their SLV 778HF,which left that feature on. Seems each model they are taking out features,
