Mine works

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2009

Verified Purchase

I've read so many reviews from dissatisfied owners that I feel I got lucky. I bought this because I wanted something that played VHS tapes but used an HDMI connection. I have small children and a zillion kid's movies on VHS, but my "kid" TV didn't have enough of the red/white/yellow inputs to accommodate the game consoles and the VCR I wanted to hook up. I didn't even care about the "record from VHS to DVD" function when I bought the unit. When I was hooking it up, my curious wife asked why I was replacing a "perfectly good" VCR. I told her about the record function (quick thinking to try to justify my purchase) and before I had it hooked up, she had a stack of old family VHS tapes ready for me to put on DVD. I started recording them and was very happy with how easy it was and how well they turned out. I have to confess that I didn't consult the owner's manual to start with. I just put in the recorded VHS tape and a blank recordable DVD and pressed the record button. Voila! Success. In the three months I've had it, I've recorded dozens of VHS tapes to DVD and the kids have watched at least twice that many DVDs and VHS movies. I've had no problems.

Does what I need it to do - especially 8mm tape dubs

Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2009

Verified Purchase

After the 1st month's use, I have been very satisfied with this unit. (note: I reserve 5-star ratings for items that go above and beyond my expectations or are of exceptional value for the money.) You should also keep in mind the specific uses I had in mind when I bought it (in priority order):
1. Dub off an extensive library of home movies filmed on Hi8 and D8 tapes with Sony Handycams.
2. Record TV off my cable box (non-premium channels)
3. Dub off old home recorded VHS tapes
4. Play commercial DVDs (rarely)

Before I go into usage details, I want to pass on my #1 piece of advice for on-line purchasing: >>> Go to the manufacturers' customer support website to download the users manual - and then read it carefully!! <<< I am amazed at how many "1-star" reviews that basically say "it didn't do what I wanted" could have been avoided because either A) the manual never said it would do that, B) the manual implies it might not do that - which usually means it won't, or C) the manual says explicitly says it WILL NOT do that.

Of course, reading the manual wouldn't have helped those that apparently got a few of the "lemons".

Example "B" above saved me disappointment. As I said in my 1st paragraph, my #1 priority was dubbing off Handycam tapes. I downloaded the manual for the Panasonic DMR-EZ48V that I was considering instead of the Sony. There in small print on pg 29 under "Notes" along with all the other problems you may encounter was the line "Compatibility with video camcorders from other manufacturers is
not guaranteed." I found someone with a similar model and, sure enough, the Panasonic and Sony Handycams didn't play well together. The dubbed DVD had repeated video freezes. Apparently Sony and Panasonic don't interpret the IEEE 1394 standard the same way.

This unit was effortless to use for dubbing from my Handycam with D8 tapes. It was less than one minute from reading the manual before I had pressed the One-Touch Record button and off it went. I was disappointed that for some reason I couldn't do the same with my Hi8 tapes. I was able to do this with my previous Sony recorder but with this one I had to use the manual (simple dub) mode.

I have had no problems with simple timer recordings off TV. I haven't yet found the right codes to use the Sony to change the cable box channels but that is not a big concern for me.

I have been satisfied with dubbing off old VHS to DVD and have noticed only the slightest of duplication loss. (Yes, Virginia, there is transmission loss any time an analog medium is used in the process.) I am also not foolish enough to think that any recent Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba, etc. unit would dub off copyright-protected tapes. Therefore I didn't needlessly slam this product with a low rating becuase it didn't do what it said it wouldn't do; see pages 3, 31, 33 and 84 of the Operating Instructions.

I have played a few commercial DVDs on the unit and have fortunately not experienced the "freezing" a few have reported. Most of playback is on another unit since I bought this one specifically for recording/dubbing.

I haven't tried to record on the VHS since I have no reason to do so. All my DVD recording has been on DVD-R and -RW media.

I would recommend this unit to a friend for the uses above.

An Excellent Machine

Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2010

Verified Purchase

I was quite hesitant to buy this item at first due to many awful reviews. I bit the bullet and bought a refurbished model to transfer my old homemade VHS tapes to DVDs. I could not be more pleased.

I originally did not recieve a remote, so I could copy the tapes but not finalize them. With a simple push of the menu button when I received the remote,and a quick scroll through the self explanatory options, I was ablt to finalize all of the DVDs I had made.

So far, I have made seven DVDs and they all work just fine. The quality of the DVDs are limited by the quality of the tapes, but my ratty old VHS tapes seemed to produce decent video and audio quality. I would certainly recommend this to any technologically challenged person like me!

dvd-vcr and vcr to dvd recording

Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is one of the few remaining dvd vcr combos that record from one medium to the other, quality is very good. Playback on vcr tapes or dvd discs, the playbacks are in 1080 HD.It can also records directly to vcr or dvd from television. The remote allows these features to be controlled either from the unit itself or the remote, even recording vcr to dvd. We really like our unit and have not had one problem with it. I am not an expert on the particulars of different mediums and other technical information, but in the product description it is listed in detail. I have read some of he negative reviews, these are not problems we've had in the 4 yrs. we've owned ours. It gets used every single day usually 3-4 hours, we recommend. We own this and a Phillips that works the same way, both have performed very well between the 2 we've transferred about 300 vcr movies to dvd.

Nearly Buttonless

Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2010

Verified Purchase

Fortunately I am mechanically inclined because the instructions where complicated and confusing. One problems I've noticed with it is that it's remote control dependant, you have to have the remote it came with or you will not be able to access all it's features. You can eject and turn it off or on without a remote but that is all you can do. Another downside is you also have to have a video converter for it but since I had one already that wasn't a problem it just would have been nice if I didn't need one in the first place.
Still I do like the it's features to be able to digitize my old camcorder's magnetic tapes and my old vhs that I made so all and all I'm happy with my new machine.
