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?
