I received the Sony RDR-VX500 Video Cassette Recorder/DVD Recorder as a Christmas gift in December 2004. When I was given the gift, I was very impressed with the Sony name and all of the features that came along with it. Little did I know that I would be in for a rough ride!

I only have analog cable with...

This Dvd recorder and VHS combo is so nice to have.
