The Sony DVD/VCR combo player is a good product. It works fine. We have no problem so far.

Be aware before you buy

When I googled VCR/DVD player with tuner the Amazon website comes up and if you click on the link this product is one that is in the grouping of VCR/DVD players that should have a tuner BUT it does not. I was further deceived because this is the...

SLV-D281P is a great basic DVD VHS VCR combo!

 

SLV-D281P is a great basic DVD VHS VCR combo!

As noted in other reviews, this model doesn't have a tuner or a coax connector, and also it won't record a DVD onto a VHS tape. I bought it in person (at Costco, our local "big box" wholesale store, so the deal was even sweeter), and I read the...

Cannot Record Without Cable Box

 

Cannot Record Without Cable Box

The Sony DVD/VCR Combo Player SLV-281P has a fine picture and like most Sony products is well constructed. However, you must have a cable box in order to record on VHS tapes (it only plays DVDs).I called Comcast, our cable company, and they confirmed...

Pretty average player.....

 

Pretty average player.....

While there is nothing exceptionally bad about Sony SLV-D281P DVD/VCR combo player, there is also nothing exceptionally good about this unit either. Like in the previous reviews, this is a player and not a recorder unless you are using the VCR side....

Has no tuner!

I really wish I'd read the user reviews of this product before purchasing, because nowhere in the the product description is it mentioned that there's no tuner. This means that it will only record what the TV or cable box is tuned to. Not good. I...

Great VCR/DVD player

I'm very happy with this player. We use it all day long. I bought it for my 3 year old daughter's room. Her tv is not hooked up to cable. We just use it for her to watch her videos and DVDs. She can watch Sesame Street tapes all day and we keep...

Sony SLV-D281P - AN EXCELLENT UNIT

When deciding to purchase a dvd/vcr combo the only things that concern me is the picture quality,ease of operation and the price. This inexpensive easy to use unit has an excellent dvd and vcr picture playback quality that is probably second to none....
