Setting the record straight.

byfelixderkater Mar 14, 2007
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Video quality.
Cons Aggressive copy protection.
Recommended it? Yes

After seeing so many complaints, I knew I had to post and set the record straight on this DVD recorder. I purchased this machine used about eight months ago, so I have a fair bit of experience with it. I have also used several other similar devices from Sony's competitors. All of the competitors'...

Expensive for such a mixed bag

Pros Good output quality.
Cons Violates user's legitimate Fair Educational Use copyright entitlements
Recommended it? No

The titleing using the remote is a pain in the neck. The discs take nigh on to forever before they "load" for playback.

Quality, however is decent, although I learned the hard way you can't record on any DVD's except Sony DVD's, which is annoying as all-get-out.

Additionally the... Read full review »

Magnavox DVD Recorder and 4-Head Hi-Fi Stereo VCR, ZV457MG9

bykruemcke Oct 12, 2010
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Reasonable Price
Cons Does not keep time
Recommended it? No

The main problem I had with this unit and a comparable HDD/DVD recorder is that the unit does not keep good time. No matter how I set it (manual, automatic, none), it adds anywhere from 1 - 5 hours every 2 days or so. Needless to say, this destroys time recording.
I only have analog cable with... Read full review »

Pros Excellent Picture Quality, Compact, Great Design
Cons Difficult To Use, Slow To Load

This Dvd recorder and VHS combo is so nice to have. It makes taking VHS' and putting them on Dvds so convenient and helps to make ones movie collection go from bulky and using up to much space to slimming it down and giving one more space to continue adding movies to ones movie library.
