Pros Made to accept multiple DVD formats; accepts CDs
Cons Poor quality; poor VHS pictures
Recommended it? No

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!

Pros Easy to use, quality product
Cons Don't forget to finish DVDs to play elsewhere
Recommended it? Yes

I received the Sony RDR-VX500 VCR and DVD recorder as a Christmas gift back in 2005. Since then, I have recorded dozens of DVDs both from VHS tapes and from live programming with DirecTV.

This combo is very easy to set up, and the remote very intuitive. The only shortcoming I found is... Read full review »

Oddly, a step backwards in a few areas.

Pros Loads BDs VERY fast, excellent BD play and features
Cons On-line streaming interface and setup below par, tiny little buttons on front
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this to replace one of my older Sony BD players that was loading VERY slowly.  The S570 loads BDs of all types like a jackrabbit, which is great!  As far as I can tell, it plays everything (including a variety of other video and audio formats) flawlessly.  Plus, it accesses...

Recommended it? Yes

The Sony BDP-S570 3D Blu-ray Disc Player has quickly become an electronic device that I never want to live without.  And while I love many of my electronic gizmos, this one does things that make it much more than a Blu-ray player.
