While reading the reviews I was very confused as to what I would get.How well it would work for me. But I was blowed away again. The Best sony Product that I purchase at amazon.com. Being able to easily transfer my videos to dvds.Bravo Sony.
BIG MISTAKE.After hours of doodling around with spotty directions and failing to record/dub VHS to DVD Media, I gave up to contact Sony. I regret not checking here first.
I am still no where and no resolution in site. Tonight I decided to check if others have had problems like this and found a great percentage at Amazon.
I bought this recorder unit from a local and trusted electronics store after spotting it on sale. So if your considering this unit.
Dubbing old VHS recordings of my family to DVD media has been on my list of to do's for a long time. So for $100.00 it looked like a sparkling deal especially from a good name such as Sony.
Reconsider Now.
The dratted things break within 6 months and then Sony willl not repair the unit free of charge even though it is under warranty. Do not buy a Sony. The customer service is HORRENDOUS.
I was FINALLY able to get the transfer to work (Sony's instructions are less than complete) and then completed the tedious task of typing in each chapter title using the point-and-select process using the remote and then after FINALIZING per Sony's instructions so that the DVD would play on other players discovered that it would NOT play on either my other Sony player or my other Toshiba player making the entire process a complete waste of time and money. I have now been trying for 24 hours to produce my first VHS tape to DVD transfer. It should NOT be this difficult to perform this simple task.
Next two attempt using the timer resulted in 25 minutes of recorded audio and video, then the recorder powered off and failed to complete the program as specified. Discussed with Sony support but no resolution. I have owned this product for 24 hours and cannot get it to properly record from a Cable settop box. My first attempt resulted in 10 seconds of video and a couple hours of audio. Have not been able to contact customer support since then.
