I recently purchased a Sony SL-2500, the top of the line model prior to its being made obsolete (soundwise) by the Beta Hi-Fi models. While I have no complaints as to the recording or playback features of this machine, it seems to make an inordinate amount of noise while playing/recording. I've had it in the shop three times and the technicians assure me that all 2500s are that way. (One actually went further to say that all front-loading VCRs are noisier than top-loading machines.) He also told me to remove it from atop my console t.v. because the vibrations may be accentuating the motor noise. This didn't help. I have several friends who own front-loading VCRs; none of them are, however, the same model as my own. Thus, I ask you, does any of this sound reasonable? Are there any owners of SL-2500s out there with similar problems w/noise? -- Jay Elvove ..!seismo!umcp-cs!jay

I don't own a SL-2500 but I do have an SL-2710. (The current top-of-the-line
Beta Hi-Fi unit.) It too seemed extremly noisy when playing. I took it into
the repair shop but have not yet gotten it back from them. I'll let you know
if its any better when I get it back. A friend of mine who also got a
SL-2710 does not have this noise problem so it doesn't seem to be a general
problem.
