Sony RDR-VX560 1080p Tunerless DVD Recorder/VHS Combo Player

I have been a Sony fan all my life but this product left a sour taste in my mouth. I have never seen such shoddy quality in a Sony product. The item arived broken with a VCR door in pieces. Amazon did offer a discount as compensation but for days I could not locate the product. While the Amazon site said it was delivered, I was pulling my hair trying to locate it.

The Best sony Product that I purchase at amazon.com. While reading the reviews I was very confused as to what I would get.How well it would work for me. But I was blowed away again. Being able to easily transfer my videos to dvds.Bravo Sony.

I bought this recorder unit from a local and trusted electronics store after spotting it on sale. Dubbing old VHS recordings of my family to DVD media has been on my list of to do's for a long time. So for $100.00 it looked like a sparkling deal especially from a good name such as Sony.
BIG MISTAKE..

After hours of doodling around with spotty directions and failing to record/dub VHS to DVD Media, I gave up to contact Sony. I am still no where and no resolution in site.

Tonight I decided to check if others have had problems like this and found a great percentage at Amazon. I regret not checking here first. So if your considering this unit.. Reconsider Now..

Do not buy a Sony. The dratted things break within 6 months and then Sony willl not repair the unit free of charge even though it is under warranty. The customer service is HORRENDOUS.

I have now been trying for 24 hours to produce my first VHS tape to DVD transfer. I was FINALLY able to get the transfer to work (Sony's instructions are less than complete) and then completed the tedious task of typing in each chapter title using the point-and-select process using the remote and then after FINALIZING per Sony's instructions so that the DVD would play on other players discovered that it would NOT play on either my other Sony player or my other Toshiba player making the entire process a complete waste of time and money! It should NOT be this difficult to perform this simple task!
