I have now used 2 Sanyo machines for copying tapes, and I found that they both act like VHS machines, in that they thread and unthread before and after playing/recording. Is this true of all their machines? Do other manufacturers do it as well? It is unfortunate, because that is one thing that convinced me to buy Beta -- it seemed it must be gentler on tape if it does not have to be unthreaded for '>>' or '<<'.
