My wife has been bugging me for the last year or so to convert all of our

VHS video tapes that I took of the kids to DVD's. Some are 20 years old

and though stored under ideal conditions could become fragile. I chose

this deck mainly because it was a Sony and I have had good luck with

their products.

I have not been disappointed. It has performed perfectly. Very easy to

use for dubbing. Once you have your DVD loaded and your VHS tape

loaded, it's push one button and it starts. It stops automatically after either

the DVD is full or the tape is empty, whatever comes first. You then

push a couple of buttons on the remote to "finalize" the disk and you are

done. On the high quality and standard modes the picture looks just like

the orginal.

This deck will also record TV shows and sourcing from video cameras.

Excellent value !

Buy Sony RDR-VX525 DVD/VHS Player/Recorder Now

I have mixed feelings after having purchased this DVD Combo this summer. Some DVDs play flawlessly, but others skip so badly they aren't viewable. Also, sometimes it's impossible to shut off subtitles. Even when going through the DVD menu, the subtitles will still play. You must click options on the player remote and shut it off that way. Several cases...the movie Spygame with Redford and Pitt. Skips and jumps through the hole flick, subtitles cannot be shut off at all. You can actually hear the DVD player head or something internal buzzing trying to do error correction. Transformers..first viewing was flawless. Now it skips towards the end of the movie. Last night wathced Talladega Nights, first 3/4 movie was fine. Got to last 30 minutes or so and and it started skipping. May wind up sending it in for repair. Spygame played flawlessly on my previous DVD only Panasonic.

I received this as a gift, it WILL NOT RECORD ANYTHING from my satellite receiver, says "copy protected" I planned on using this to record programs I could not watch becaude I was working. A dvd PLAYER would do all this product can do for a LOT less $$$.

Want Sony RDR-VX525 DVD/VHS Player/Recorder Discount?

Ok so it doesn't copy old vhs movies because of copyright issues. I was expecting that. but after 6 tries, I finally got an old vhs of some tv shows to record onto DVD-R disks. The manual is overwhelming and does a rotten job of walking you through a sample recording. So I finally figured out that I needed to Finalize the DVD, but guess what? the DVD was only usable (fully) on the sony unit. It would play on my laptop, but no chapters, I had 360 as one big chapter, plus the time index was only up to the 24 minutes. so chapter 18, at the 24 minute mark, was for minutes 24-360. Apparently the timer thing is busted on the sony recorder as well. because I had same 24 minute marker as the last chapter on it as well.

The dvd wouldn't even play at all on a regular, DVD player hooked up to my TV.

I want my weekend of frustration back.

I have just gotten this dvd player to replace an other of mine. Guess what???? I am taking it back. It will not play other DVD's that I have recorded on my other recorder, and oh yes they have been finalized and they will play with no problem on other dvd players. On the Sony, they will not play. One may play for a moment and then the picture will hang up and sound will stop a few seconds later. Just can't get any of the DVD's recorded to play.
