I am looking for advice in the BETA recorder line. I presently own a VHS HI-FI unit and I want another HI-FI unit to make dubs with. One question before we get to far into this. Is there anything wrong with copying from BETA to VHS or visa versa ? I wouldn't think so, but has anyone had any problems/successes doing this. If it is possible, I would like to purchase a BETA HI-FI machine. That way I could rent or borrow tapes of either format and make a copy of it in the other format. The machine I presently own is the Hitachi VT89A which does everything and more. I'm not sure I need another machine with all the features. I'll use the VHS machine as my main tuner, so the BETA machine won't need random-access tuning. It must be HI-FI, and Super Beta seems to come on all the new machines anyway. The Sony model SLHF-400 has been recommended to me. Does anyone have any suggestions in the line ? Any advice will be appreciated. Mark Nevar
