Editorial Reviews:

The SYLVANIA DV220SL8 DVD/VCR combination is the affordable, space-saving home theater solution. Combining the features and benefits of the two technologies, this DVD/VCR combo offers a high-end DVD video output, MP3 music playback from homemade CD-Rs DVD-R/RW playback, and compatibility with VHS tapes. It?s everything you need in a compact unit.

Progressive Scan:
Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

Playable Disc:
This DVD player plays DVD Video, DVD-R/RW, video and audio CD, CD-R/RW and MP3.




User Comments about the Sylvania DV220SL8 DVD / VCR Combo

It is cute, lightweight, easy to install, and easy to use. This product works great. I would buy it again in an instant.



The few DVD's did play well, and the functionality was good. Then the unit began to make a loud clacking noise and power off. But the VHS never worked that well, even tapes that I had with little to no play on them yielded not much more than static. I moved my belonings myself and know for fact that the player never even endured the slightest bump while it was repacked in the factory packaging during the move. There is no tracking adjust.So I resided myself to having a junky 70$ DVD player. Well, after I moved to a new residence, after plugging in the unit the VHS section began to spit back out any tape that I put in. I purchased this unit during the '06-'07 Christmas season.


MISTAKE. I was looking for an inexpensive unit, since I heard (and continue to to this day to) that DVD/VHS combos tend to be very touchy. I had a fair sized VHS collection that I wanted to be able to view, while not owning many DVD's, so for the price I figured I would give it a chance. Now, I cannot even use the DVD function as well as the pathetic VHS side of this unit.Bottom line; I wouldn't own another of these models if I were PAID 70$.


Then, after two months of use, the DVD player gave up the ghost. If you're looking for a cheap, short term solution until you get something nicer, then this is your unit.


Nothing. I had to take the unit apart just to retrieve my DVD.


Bought this VCR/DVD combo at deep discount so I wasn't expecting much. If you want to impress your friends by using the term RF Modulator at your next party, this is your unit.


So, I wasn't surprised when I found out there was no antenna connection. Had to hook up an RF Modulator (and before this, I had no idea what an RF Modulator was - so, I guess I did learn something).


Otherwise, don't bother.


Although I am 'electronically challenged' when I called the help number the whiz-kid on the other end of the phone know precisely what was going on just by telling him what appeared on the screen. The machine plays perfectly whenever I use it.



It made a puttering noise after I took out a dvd I had just watched and that was the end. A few days later, the entire machine died. I couldn't turn it on and it ate a tape. Unhappy can't begin to describe my feelings towards this product. First, the dvd player died. Never will I buy Sylvania again.
