Unfortunately, I purchased 2 of these machines for duplicating tapes. These are the worst machines I have ever owned. When I record on SLP, I can't view what I recorded. It just jumps all over. This happens on old tapes and brand new tapes. There have to be other machines available that are better. I've never owned anything but RCA machines, but this one is bad! Fast Forward & Rewind while viewing doesn't stop right away like my other machines. Not happy at all.
