However, it played every other DVD we have flawlessly. The remote control must be pointed directly at the unit. The DVD player is slow, and consistently locks up on the end of the DVD, "A Goofy Movie". The VCR side has flickering and distortion at the top of every video played. I have tried small and large pictures and none of them fit. There is no sign of Adaptive Picture Control, and the video is not nearly as good as my previous Sony VCR's. The device will display JPEG pictures, but they will will not be scaled to fit on the television screen.
It doesn't matter what recording speed is used. Sometimes when we eject the disc, it closes the tray again for no reason. Auto tracking is fairly inaccurate, and even manual tracking adjustment can't fix the flickering and distortion. All of these problems seem like issues that could be fixed with a firmware upgrade, but there doesn't seem to be one. I am unable to say how well the unit records television because it has no TV tuner, so unless a cable box or video camera is connected, there is no way to record a television show with this device. So, the unit is not very good for listening to music. The DVD side is okay, but the VCR side is very bad.
MP3 playback works but when the disc plays MP3, it spins the discs faster and gets much louder than it does for DVD. It doesn't have any of the audio difficulties of the APEX players we had before it. Sometimes when we turn the unit on, it ejects the disc for no reason. Unless you can mount a rifle scope on your remote, you would be better off with a different remote.
Everyone thinks sony can still make good stuff. Dont buy this product i have personally used this one my self and it stinks big time.
But the truth is they dont care about there tape based products any more. if you call there customerservice it stinks.
this is a lousy dvd/vcr player. It makes the humming noise and plays tapes badly.
I have many single vcrs that would make this thing look like a scrap heap. This is not from sonys quality days.
I have other vcrs that are ultra silent even when rewinding i tried this one for another room and it was horrible.
Some of the DVDs it does play one day won't the next. I can play the same DVDs on friends players. This product SUCKS. It won't play alot of my DVDs. I do not recommend this product or the Company who sold it.
first of all I was able to hook it right up. I have never been able to do this before. I think this unit is great. & it works great.
The unit as advertised is excellent. We have had no problems.Thanks.DVD & VHS player.
