Summary: Sony dual recorder
Comment: Very happy with the video and audio it was a great improvement over my 18 month old cheap one. The on screen display is great it just takes a while to load up. I am happy!
Customer Rating: Summary: Nice product
Comment: This is a great recorder that eliminates the need for a DTV converter when the switch to digital occurs. Simple enough that my ole' world parents can use the basic functions, yet enough bells and whistles, that you can author a nice simple DVD w/ previews and a customized menu of contained episodes or shows.
Customer Rating: Summary: DVD-R/VCR/HD Tuner Combo
Comment: I bought this product for 3 reasons: 1)DVD recorder, 2)HD Tuner and 3)it's a Sony. This product has met and exceeded my expectations. Right out of the box it's been an excellent product. It immediately found all the HD and analog stations in my area with just the rabbit ear antenna on my tv. I've already recorded with the VCR and dubbing from VHS tape to DVD and the picture and sound quality are wonderful. Everything plugs into this box: the satellite dish, the stereo receiver and even my 6-disk CD/DVD changer. This is important, especially for the older tv's that don't have many input and output options in the back.
If I have to find any drawbacks it would have to be ease of use. You have to read the owners manual carefully! This is a very complicated machine and you have to follow the steps carefully for results. Anyone who is intimidated by this sort of technology may want to do more homework with other like products in case there is an easier to use one. However, once you read and follow the steps in the manual you'll be pleased with the results.
Customer Rating: Summary: Great Digital DVD-VCR Combo
Comment: I bought this unit as a replacement for our analog Sony DVD-VCR combo, and all of its functions have worked flawlessly. We receive over-the-air digital TV signals, and the automatic set-up took only a few minutes. With our 30-year-old rooftop antenna, the tuner picks up not only the local stations but also those from a city 45 miles away. I've played and recorded both DVDs (using DVD+RW) and VHS tapes, and everything has worked without a hitch. The picture quality, using our Sony HD TV and an HDMI connection, is great. The menus and manual are easy to understand. Amazon delivered the unit promptly and in perfect condition.
Customer Rating: Summary: Sony DVD/VCR
Comment: The picture quality was very poor. It was also difficult to program. I returned it to Amazon and purchased a Toshiba DVD/VCR which is much better (and less expensive).
