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 »

Pros Inexpensive, seemingly good quality
Cons Minimal buttons on unit

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.
