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'...

Pros Good output quality.
Cons Violates user's legitimate Fair Educational Use copyright entitlements
Recommended it? No

Pros Excellent picture quality, "chase" playback, editing function
Cons No pause button
Recommended it? Yes

The VCR got phased out in stages – first, we started buying movies on DVD, then we starting renting movies on... Read full review »

Just to lay out the scenario, pvr cable box into audio/video in on the 330. Digital sound out to 5.1 amp, and video out using composite, progressive (480p).
