Product Description

Don't miss a minute of your favorite video? Get Sony's SLV-N55 VCR today! You'll enjoy features like Flash Rewind, Commercial Skip, and Instant Replay. ChildLoc circuitry is provided for parental guidance. You can rewind your T-120 tapes in less than 60 seconds, flip past commercials with the touch of a button, and replay sports or movie scenes you didn't catch the first time. Also featuring front A/V inputs, and Plug & Play, which enables easy set up for auto tuner preset and AutoClock set, this VCR is the perfect choice.

Don't miss a minute of your favorite shows or tapes. Sony's compact, 14-inch-wide SLV-N55 is packed with features like flash rewind, commercial skip, and Instant Replay so you can rewind T-120 tapes in less than 60 seconds, flip past commercials with the touch of a button, and replay sports or movie scenes missed the first time around. A camcorder or gaming console plugs right into the SLV-N55'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 routing 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-N55'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.

Plug & Play guarantees easy set up with auto tuner preset and AutoClock set for all VCR tuner channels. ChildLoc circuitry protects tapes and kids from harm. Other features include index scan and a one-month/eight-event timer. The unit comes with a multibrand TV/VCR remote control.

Poor Tracking
As some have stated, this VCR produces noticable jittery effects on screen during playback and has done so from day 1. I would not recommend it to anyone, and I have lost faith in Sony QC.…   More reviews

It's a jitter bug :P
1) Like someone else wrote, I too get this disturbance at regular intervals when playing back with the SLV-N55. For me it occurs with some recordings made by other VCRs and pre-recorded videos.
