Great Buy: DVD-VCR Combos

We had a VHS/DVD player that was destroyed in a thunderstorm and is no longer made. We found a great option at Revain and use it often.

Is that Sony? suitable for DVD-VCR combos

The device itself technically works, but I'm not very impressed. The user interface is terrible in its complexity, which is unusual for Sony products. You have to press the buttons on the remote too hard for them to actually respond, which is half the problem. The manual is too succinct, missing pages for settings that are probably quite common, so you'll have to guess instead. Sony WEGA 24" TV. (I bought this set to match my TV.) Sony tech support was far from helpful, acknowledging that they…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • New competitors have appeared

Made to last

I can't remember exactly how long I've had this unit but I would say around 10 years (I bought it new from ABC stock). It was used almost daily on both DVD player and VCR. I used to shoot with it almost every day and tried to clean the video head regularly (recommended every 20-25 hours of use). After almost a decade of regular use, everything was still working, but there were a few inconsistent issues.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging

Very disappointed!

Just started using it. My color films play in black and white. IT ripped the VHS tape. The sound quality is very bad. I didn't expect perfection but this is unacceptable!

Pros
  • good stuff
Cons
  • not reliable
