Awful Waste Of Money
The DVD side is okay, but the VCR side is very bad. The DVD player is slow, and consistently locks up on the end of the DVD, "A Goofy Movie". However, it played every other DVD we have flawlessly. 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. Sometimes when we eject the disc, it closes the tray again for no reason. MP3 playback works but when the disc plays MP3, it spins the discs faster and gets much louder than it does for DVD. So, the unit is not very good for listening to music. The device will display JPEG pictures, but they will will not be scaled to fit on the television screen. I have tried small and large pictures and none of them fit. The VCR side has flickering and distortion at the top of every video played. It doesn't matter what recording speed is used. Auto tracking is fairly inaccurate, and even manual tracking adjustment can't fix the flickering and distortion. 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. All of these problems seem like issues that could be fixed with a firmware upgrade, but there doesn't seem to be one. There is no sign of Adaptive Picture Control, and the video is not nearly as good as my previous Sony VCR's. The remote control must be pointed directly at the unit. Unless you can mount a rifle scope on your remote, you would be better off with a different remote.

Lousy Product
this is a lousy dvd/vcr player. I have many single vcrs that would make this thing look like a scrap heap. This is not from sonys quality days. Everyone thinks sony can still make good stuff. But the truth is they dont care about there tape based products any more. if you call there customerservice it stinks. Dont buy this product i have personally used this one my self and it stinks big time. It makes the humming noise and plays tapes badly. I have other vcrs that are ultra silent even when rewinding i tried this one for another room and it was horrible.

This product SUCKS
This product SUCKS. It won't play alot of my DVDs. I can play the same DVDs on friends players. Some of the DVDs it does play one day won't the next. I do not recommend this product or the Company who sold it.

I love it
I think this unit is great. first of all I was able to hook it right up. I have never been able to do this before. & it works great.

no problems.
Thanks.
