I wish there was a negative star rating. Bought 150+ videocassettes Sony brand, before learning that they were all [garbage]. In SP mode, very poor (wavery, then poor pic quality, and quick wear-out). In EP mode, COMPLETELY UNUSABLE (white fuzz and tracking chaos).Our tapes came from a number of different stores, both local and internet. Variant Sony VHS products as well, although mostly their so-called premium quality line. EVERY tape was bad. The only common denominator was that they were being output by a factory (or factories) in Mexico. Sony have little to do with making these tapes, I think, other than slapping their name on them, and tricking the consumer. We own a Sony VHS player, a Sony DVD player, and a Sony mini-stereo system. But our Sony electronics purchases, those already came slightly previous in time to all the torture Sony caused us with their Heche en Mexico landfill fillers that they call vhs tapes. It's confusing why Sony have chosen this route of using -- and trashing -- their name/image in order to dump this broken junk on the quick buy market. Shouldn't they realize that it will just make folks hesitant then to go for the major purchases of the Sony name? Or do they expect us to somehow know in advance when it's a real Sony product or when it's just Sony conning us?

The quality in EP is terrible. Its dark and fuzzy. Stick with the 6 hours(sony).
