Wish I'd checked out this forum before buying the Lite-On. I'll
be sure to check before I buy another!

I sure would never have dreamed that Sony would give folks
trouble. I know Sony tapes work best in my 4-track tape units,
and it's the only thing my court sends me. (I discovered, the
hard way, that the Memorex brand didn't stack up on a court
tape.) I guess nobody can be great at everything, though.

I wouldn't like to be on the receiving end of returned
merchandise. Thanks for the head's up.
