📼 Powerful and Versatile Magnavox ZV457MG9 Dual Deck DVD/VCR Recorder: Record and Playback Functionality in Sleek Black Design Review

I bought this product about 2.5 months ago and started using it relatively quickly. It wasn't that difficult to set up if I followed the instructions in the quick start guide and manual. I had time to set it up with my RF modulator (used if you have an old TV); but otherwise set up quickly. Once I set it up I found it fairly easy to use, but I was a bit disappointed with the recording (VHS and DVD) in the lower modes. That means the EP modes, which let you record up to 6 hours on a VHS tape or…

This is the second unit I have bought from Revain.com in the last 6 months. I was so pleased with the performance and service from Magnavox on the first unit that I decided to purchase a second unit (exactly the same model). I have over 150 family, home, TV shows, etc. VHS tapes that I wanted to convert to DVD format. I figured if I had a second unit it would take me half the time to re-equip. I ordered a NEW unit from Revain.com and it turned out to be defective. Every time I played a…

This product meets my expectations with just a few small imperfections that prevent it from getting a 5 star rating. After reading the reviews, I carefully went through the user manual before even attempting to plug it in. Even with all the detailed connection examples, my special case was not included, but that was not a problem. I'm used to connections that even "experts" say are impossible but work. It was easy for me and it works. The quality of the dubbing up to 3 hours promised me. To my…

I was looking for an inexpensive combo that would be a good addition to the old combo I have now which only has a DVD player. This article more than lived up to the bill. It's fairly easy to set up and what I like about it is the VCR's tape control mechanism. this is what i have learned from experience works very well. I've had VCRs that "eat" the tape even when they're brand new. I don't really understand why this is happening, but it is happening. The hi-fi VCR on this combo was great from…

I am happy with my purchase of this device. At first it didn't seem that difficult to set up. I actually had to read the manual and had a few trial and error moments where I didn't read the instructions carefully enough, but the DVR was up and running within 10 minutes and I used the recording function for 10 minutes afterwards. . The last DVR I received (which was promptly returned) took over an hour to set up and get up and running and it still didn't do what I needed it to do, so maybe it's…

Replaced a 15 year old Magnavox (when Magnavox was owned by Philips) 2 head mono VCR which has worked great all along. It was starting to have trouble tracking the tape and the timer only got to *2009. When I was looking for a standalone VCR I found new ones were running out so I resigned myself to getting a dual core to buy device. I first heard about this product from a flyer from Radio Shack (priced at $279.99). I checked out Revain and was surprised that not only was it affordable, but it…
