Sony DVD recorder

Good product! Has everything I need - plays any DVD, CD, CR-R, DVD-Audio etc. I first bought it to make DVDs from the Sony HandyCam. Works like a champ! The HandyCam captures digitally if you use the right connection, so there is no loss of quality. The on-screen function/configuration menus are a little confusing, but after going through them a few times everything is fine. After the initial setup, you don't need to go there except to record from the camera. The picture quality is as good as…

Pros
  • HDMI¿ 720p/1080i output Upscaling
Cons
  • Some little things

GREAT DEAL IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU GET! :)

Okay, here's my conclusion. You need a set-top box to use this recorder. The video quality is very good, much better than my Liteon (matte color) and a bit worse than my Panasonic (great color). I like multiple recording time options - compression is minimized. IMHO, that's all you need to have a great ride. I don't think you can beat the price! Search online video stabilizer GREX to find ESSENTIAL copyright discussion. It's been over 1 month for me. now and very satisfied knowing what I'm…

Pros
  • End-to-end set-top box with controller
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Ease of use and reliability

I've had this DVD player/recorder for 7 months now and haven't had any of the problems others are having. The one I ordered was new, not refurbished, so maybe that helped. It's easy to set up and use, which is a big improvement over the Panasonic DVD player/recorder I brought in as a replacement. I mainly use mine to play DVDs and transfer old VCRs to DVD, so the built-in copy protection isn't a problem for me. If you want to record TV or cable programs with a copy protection signal or download

Pros
  • 1 touch dubbing from DV/D8 camcorder via LINK connector
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
