Upgrading from stand alone DVD player
I bought this unit to replace my stand alone Sony DVD player, I picked this one since it had optical out and I could reuse my optical audio cable. This is not a component style device. The volume button on the remote does not control the stereo, it does the television instead. My Television does not have an optical input so I went into the menu and adjusted the outputs. Still no way to control the audio on the stereo. It does however have some neat features. You can lock the dvd door to kee...

Great player until...
This player had everything I was looking for...progressive scan/component output, CD-R & R/W support, MP3 support, and the selling point...advertised DVD+R/RW and DVD-R/RW support. I make a lot of my own DVDs (not pirated movies) and wanted to make sure the new player could read them. Problem is that it only reads them for a few minutes, then you get digital breakup and the thing eventually stops playing! I've returned the product twice hoping I just had a bum machine - no luck! I'm convinced it...

What's in a name?
This item LOOKS great and has the SONY name...but its performance is definitely lacking. Upon engaging the machine, a buzz is heard. Watching a DVD is best. Only a slight buzz and the picture quality is adequate. But inject a VHS tape and the machine's buzz goes into overdrive. It is EXTREMELY loud and it will buzz along with the movie like an added track of unnecessary white noise.
I'm still looking for a good replacement. I was ready to send this back the day after I bought it...

Well Worth the Money
This is my first purchase of anything by Sony, and I am very happy with it. I originally purchased a dual unit by GoVideo, but returned it the next day because of the poor playback quality of the VCR side. I am quite pleased with the playback quality of the DVD's and VHS tapes on this machine. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because the buttons on the remote are small and make it difficult to read.

Just OK
I bought this DVD/VCR combo solely because it's a Sony and I have a Sony 6.1 Surround sound home theater system. I was fairly satisfied with it for a while. The picture quality was above average and the audio was not that bad. About 3 weeks after buying this player, I tried playing some MPEG movies that I had burnt on my computer but it wouldn't play. I was very disappointed! Now that I know that, I probably would not buy this player again.

DVD Problems
I've had this unit for a little over a month and it completely stopped reading DVDs. It still reads audio CDs and the VCR is decent. I'd steer clear of this combo.

OUTSTANDING
This is an excellent product for the price. I own one. The DVD and CD player is good. I send the sound to my home theater receiver and it sounds wonderful. The VHS portion plays better than my other stand-alone SONY VCR. What I really liked is that this unit has Quasi-S Playback so I can play my S-VHS tapes. The picture is good. What I found amazing was that the EP record mode (6 hour) looked better than the SP (2 hour). I played some EP recordings made on this unit on my parents' JVC and the pi...
