I wasted money on this product. Several days after the manufacturer warranty for sending it back free of charge expired, the vcr destroyed 2 of my favorite VHS tapes, one of which was the classic Labyrinth. I didn't want to believe that it would happen to me. You can't get your money back unless it happens within the time frame before 10 days. I am not happy.
I had to purchase another dual deck. The vcr portion functioned normally it seemed, minus some tracking issues. After I purchased the product for what was too much money, I read a review which stated that his machine broke a few days after the manufacturer warranty expired, which is 10 days after it arrives to your home. I use my vcr alot because I record shows, when I am not home. I heard good things about refurbished Sony products.
The dvd player functions fine. This is not the case with this one.
It works great. I bought a combo VCR/DVD player. Delivery was prompt. Alectrics, Inc. The product and service was "As Advertised". No problems. was the supplier. I would definitely buy from this vendor again.
It'll last a long time.Cons:-DVD player is not meant to play a lot of DVDs. The VHS side could last for 100 years.Not worth the $150 I paid for it. If used, DON'T BUY IT SINCE THEY ARE SELLING PROBABLY BECAUSE THE DVD PLAYER IS GOING. Pros:-Excellent machine but did not last. (My last SONY from 2000 lasted till beginning of 2006).-VHS has super fast rewind and playback. When the DVD player goes, it starts to say, "No disc" a lot then stops entirely.
We have a Sony DVD player on another TV set.This unit is not as good as either of the stand-alone units.What I find most annoying is how slow it is. I'm not talking rewind etc., I'm just talking how long it takes to boot up. It takes 20 seconds to start up.I find the remote to be a pain to use. I needed a minimal unit to play old VHS and DVDs. We have a sophisticated HDD/DVD-recorder Tivo-like device which plays DVDs, its slow to boot, andtoo complicated for everyone else in my family to use as a DVD player.Our old Sony VCR died from old age. I constantly hit the wrong buttons.I wish I had bought some other VHS/DVD unit.
I read only the first few reviews and they were all great and now that I have the unit, the VCR plays only audio--no video--the DVD plays fine.I am waiting to hear from the seller as to whether I can return this player.
