Just junk

 

Just junk

This machine worked only for about 3 months. I wanted to copy my VHS collection of movies onto DVD so I could dispose of the VHS tapes as players are becoming very scarce. It is now useless. It cannot dub or burn anything to DVD. I wasted my money,...

Piece of junk! Steer clear...

 

Piece of junk! Steer clear...

This unit is a piece of junk! $200 dollar mistake. Almost since new I get frequent error code 4 messages that says it cannot record to this disc. The discs are fine and work in other devices. It's hit or miss and usually, it's a miss! VHS recording...

Save your money

The first unit I bought the DVD door would not open. I returned it to Sears and got another unit. After 13 months it quit recording on DVD. I am going to replace with another unit and it sure will not be Sylvania.

I wouldn't buy this machine

 

I wouldn't buy this machine

Once I got this home I found in the instruction book, hidden, that the player/recorder would only accept 4 brands of dvd's, no matter the format. What I found out is that it doesn't accept all of one brand. I bought Maxell like it suggested and then it...

Problem Free

 

Problem Free

I have owned this unit for over a year and had no problems at all. I use it mainly to watch DVD movies but have recorded hundreds of DVD's on it. The VHS rewind is quite slow but the machine has no flaws. Excellent value for the price.

I'd have given no stars if I could

I am not a review writer, but I want to warn anyone away from this piece of junk. I have never had an electronic device that broke after less than a year until now. First the clock stopped working - making it impossible to timer - record anything. ...

REALLY BAD ~ WILL NOT LAST BUT A FEW MONTHS ~ POOR QUALITY - DEFECTIVE ~ UPDATE GOT BRAND NEW PLAYER FROM COMPANY AT NO CHARGE

 

REALLY BAD ~ WILL NOT LAST BUT A FEW MONTHS ~ POOR QUALITY - DEFECTIVE ~ UPDATE GOT BRAND NEW PLAYER FROM COMPANY AT NO CHARGE

I was extremely careful with this machine and took my time whenever I would go to a mode shift so as to give it lots of time and to make it last. It was not cheap and I paid almost $200 for it. After using the DVD player only about a dozen times, it...

Stop working in less than 5 months; Really good when working.

 

Stop working in less than 5 months; Really good when working.

Unit worked flawlessly for about 5 months after purchase; Purchase the unit in January/2006. However, it just stopped working. The DVD door does not open at all. It reads open, close, load, but the door never opens. It attempts to load, but of course,...

DIDN'T EVEN LAST ONE YEAR

 

DIDN'T EVEN LAST ONE YEAR

I bought two of these machines -- one for myself, one for my dad. Both have conked out in less than a year. At first, the recorder starts skipping while recording. Then, it starts skipping while you are playing a disc -- any disc. Then (for my...
