	I don't have any experience with the Sanyo 6800 specifically,
	but I know that the low end sanyo's have a poor quality 
	reputation around here...my video tape rental store always
	receives complaints from beta sanyo owners about not being
	able to playback prerecorded tapes on their machines when
	the tape will play ok on the store's sony vcr. Also, due to
	the cost saving design of the tape loading transport in
	the sanyo (again the cheap ones like 4000 series) on frequent
	occasion the machine will chew tapes upon ejection.

	I know this from first hand experience since I am a partner
	in this video store.
