     Don't get too cozy there with your Beta Hi-Fi. It all depends on the
quality of the tape, how many times it's been rented, etc. When I got my
Beta Hi-Fi unit, TESB was the first tape I rented (from a local Tower
Records store, who seems to have really poor quality tape rentals), and
the sound consistently drifted in/out; but, at the same time the picture
quality degraded similarly, so it was a bad tape that probably had been
rented too many times. I rented TESB again a couple of months later (from
a different store), and the quality was so much better. No dropouts, no
hum, nothing but pure enjoyable sound. I don't know for sure, but I'll bet
VHS Hi-Fi probably has the same problem, and probably given a reasonably
new tape sounds just as good.

     BTW, another really good tape for Beta Hi-Fi was "Romancing The Stone".
The sound and picture quality was excellent, and the scene where Michael
Douglas and Kathleen Turner are dancing the night before they find the stone
sounded so real, it almost felt like one was there.
