The only tapes I have ever had a problem with were JVC. They caused problems on two different occasions (two different batches of tapes) and I haven't used them since. That was a couple years ago. I have used various tapes, Sony, Panasonic, TDK and Maxell. However, I tend to only use one brand for at least two or three dozen tapes and then I may switch.
