Sony RDRVX515 DVD Recorder Reviews
The VCR recording quality is terrible: murky and the sound is tinny and muted. The DVD recording manuel would take a NASA scientist to understand and then, when you finally do figure out the instructions and follow them to the letter, sometimes the DVD recorder records, and other times gets locked into the "Loading" function and simply won't read or record a DVD at all. The timer for DVD recordings is unreliable and as stated before, sometimes it records and others it does not. BIG mistake. What a total piece of junk. Bought this video cassette/DVD recorder because it was a Sony.
I would give this product ZERO stars if I could. As others have stated, the dubbing function from VHS to DVD does not result in clear DVDs and sometimes won't work at all. Sony should be ashamed of duping their customers like this. Do not buy this product.
I'm waiting to see what sort of trash they return to me. When I received a copy of the repair estimate, I. After tracking through the corporate phone system, I finally was connected to a rather snotty twerp. This unit worked flawlwssly yntil 3 weeks befor the warranty expired.

When I checked thsir repair search site, I found that there was a repair estimate, "for a unit supposedly still in warranty".

This peice is a bargin. I purchaced the $600 sony 6 onths before this one and they work just as well.
I won't buy Sony again because I feel ripped off.
I bought this to copy VHS to DVD. I'm stuck with it.
It finalizes recordings for half an hour. DVD fast-forward and rewind is ridiculously slow.
So I don't use it for that. VHS player is terrible quality.
I thought is was high quality because it cost so much.
I took it back and would have been happy trying another but the store was out of stock and the item is discontinued so they offered me a Panasonic DMR-ES35V. Thank goodness I bought an extended service plan. I would have to forward it to get past it. The movie would go on with the subtitles still stuck at the previous clips. I bought this unit and it worked great for about a month. The last thing it started doing was moving very slow frame by frame on its own.
It started having what looked like signal disruption lines going through the pictures. These were brand new DVDs that played fine on my cheap $40 player. I would click stop and then play gain and it would be fine for a little while. It also began sticking on the subtitles. So far so good with this one.
It's working great and the remote is a lot easier to use.
