Does the job well., November 16, 2009

Ease of use - Easy, hook up and go. One thing I like is that the remote control uses a switch rather than logic buttoms so you know from across the room whether you are trying to control a vcr or dvd. The… operations of the rest of the remote controls could be clearer. A big problem I have is that the remote has a LOT of plain buttons that all look they same. In a dim room I usually hand to to somebody else to fast-forward, etc. Features - exactly what is advertised and expected. No frills. Picture Quality - Haven't used it on a discriminating system but it looks ok to me. Sound Quality - Haven't used it on a discriminating system but it sounds ok to me. I use my machines as basic players. Seems like I remember the manual on this one being a little vague. One thing I like is that the remote control uses a switch rather than logic buttoms so you know from across the room whether you are trying to control a vcr or dvd. I will probably buy another one. Bottom line is I think I'll buy another one.

Sony Keeps a Good Design, September 13, 2009
I already had one of these units which I purchased several years ago. I was both surprised and pleased that Sony kept this good design in production. A good VCR is difficult to find today. Some brands jack up the price by including a DVD recorder, which I have no use for, other brands had terrible reviews.

I gave it as a gift..., September 2, 2009
...And my friend loves it! It is perfectly suited to his needs. As you might imagine, he owns lots of VHS tapes, and he didn't want to have to throw them out. This combo player is perfect for him and for US... I'm going to buy another one for my daughter and one for my bedroom. Great product!
Combo Player, August 16, 2009
This unit seems to be very cheaply made. We were surprised to find that we couldn't set the TV channels that we wanted to record. The unit was purchadsed as a back up to the TIVO in another area of the home. The video player is very poorly made and makes noises at it rewinds and has difficulty rewinding. We would never purchase this item again.
