Sony SLV-D380P DVD/VCR Tunerless Progressive Scan DVD/VHS Combo Player Reviews
The VCR side has flickering and distortion at the top of every video played. Auto tracking is fairly inaccurate, and even manual tracking adjustment can't fix the flickering and distortion. The device will display JPEG pictures, but they will will not be scaled to fit on the television screen. All of these problems seem like issues that could be fixed with a firmware upgrade, but there doesn't seem to be one. It doesn't matter what recording speed is used. The DVD side is okay, but the VCR side is very bad. The DVD player is slow, and consistently locks up on the end of the DVD, "A Goofy Movie". However, it played every other DVD we have flawlessly.
Sometimes when we eject the disc, it closes the tray again for no reason. There is no sign of Adaptive Picture Control, and the video is not nearly as good as my previous Sony VCR's. I am unable to say how well the unit records television because it has no TV tuner, so unless a cable box or video camera is connected, there is no way to record a television show with this device. I have tried small and large pictures and none of them fit.
The remote control must be pointed directly at the unit. Sometimes when we turn the unit on, it ejects the disc for no reason. It doesn't have any of the audio difficulties of the APEX players we had before it. MP3 playback works but when the disc plays MP3, it spins the discs faster and gets much louder than it does for DVD.
So, the unit is not very good for listening to music. Unless you can mount a rifle scope on your remote, you would be better off with a different remote.
This is not from sonys quality days. Everyone thinks sony can still make good stuff. this is a lousy dvd/vcr player. I have other vcrs that are ultra silent even when rewinding i tried this one for another room and it was horrible. Dont buy this product i have personally used this one my self and it stinks big time. if you call there customerservice it stinks.
It makes the humming noise and plays tapes badly. But the truth is they dont care about there tape based products any more. I have many single vcrs that would make this thing look like a scrap heap.
Some of the DVDs it does play one day won't the next. This product SUCKS. I do not recommend this product or the Company who sold it. I can play the same DVDs on friends players. It won't play alot of my DVDs.
first of all I was able to hook it right up. & it works great. I think this unit is great. I have never been able to do this before.
Thanks. DVD & VHS player. The unit as advertised is excellent. We have had. no problems.
