Review on πŸ“€ Sony RDRVX515 DVD Recorder: Superior Recording Quality and Ease of Use by Russ Mashlan

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Good qualities but a few issues make it a lemon!

The Sony RDRVX515 DVD recorder has many nice features and would be worth the price if it worked as advertised. Unfortunately I kept it too long to get the DVD burner working and couldn't return it to Revain. Out of 12+ attempts to dub homemade VHS movies, only one DVD finished without errors, even though I tried DVDs from 3 different brands including Sony. The DVD drive refuses to eject discs for up to 30 minutes which is REALLY frustrating. It scratches factory film DVDs. Thick manual doesn't help. I ended up sending it back to Sony and am still waiting but after reading other reviews with the same issues it looks like I bought my first Sony Lemon. By the way, we like other Sony products, especially the laptop and the camera. I suggest discarding this DVD burner until the model is updated!

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
