Setting the record straight.

byfelixderkater Mar 14, 2007

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

bynuju May 1, 2007

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.

Pros All that you pay for and a little more. Good feature set.
Cons S-L-O-W. No HDMI.
Recommended it? No

I have a rule when it comes to electronics. Buy the best. Before buying anything I read a lot, browse a lot, research everything and consider all of the major brands. So how come I've got a Protron PD-DVR100 sitting under my ridiculously overpriced TV? Well it's a long story.

Pro What?!

bybobbyslav Jan 11, 2007
15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros cheap, feature rich, decent playback and recording.
Cons questionable reliability, ugly interface, stolen design.
Recommended it? No

During my usual casual browsing of HHGregg's web site I saw this model on sale for $69. This was just about a week after the latest DVD recorder I bought from Walmart - an RCA, which I kind of liked, but then I didn't, so just that I don't miss on something good I had to run to HHGregg and pick one...
