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

bynuju May 1, 2007
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
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 »

Sony DVP-SR500H - A Middle of the Road DVD Player

Pros Inexpensive, seemingly good quality
Cons Minimal buttons on unit
Recommended it? Yes

Our old DVD players has been on its way out for some time. It would play the first DVD of the day but would then refuse to load another disc for the rest of the day. I finally broke down and bought the Sony DVP-SR500H.

Quality Look is Misleading

bydanibe Mar 26, 2011
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Metal casing. Quality look. 1 year warranty.
Cons Unreliable exactly like other cheap DVDs. Limited to 480p via component connectors.
Recommended it? No

I chose the Sony DVP-SR500H ($60) over the Memorex MVD2047 because I believed that Sony brand will provide me with at least 1 year of service vs. the few months that is the "typical standard" nowadays with cheap DVD players. The Sony costs 50% more but it's really only $20 more.
