Sylvania DVR90VE DVD Player/Recorder and Hi-Fi VCR Combo Reviews
Total piece of crap. Also, although I'd already made 5 or so dvds out of a 25-pack, it is suddenly giving me an error message. I was able to make 20 or so dvds from this machine, none of which will play in any other dvd players, despite my completion of the "finalizing" process. Don't waste your money. I'm reluctant to waste more money purchasing different dvds to try after reading these reviews, it seems as though the recorder may have simply stopped working. These dvds are all the same, if they worked before, why not now.
Use it infrequently. Have had the recorder for three years. Have to reread the manual carefully each time I want to use it. Read the reviews here and saw the firmware upgrade to 8X. This item is not easy to use but does everything it says it will do if you follow the directions. Called and found out in April 2008 they are charging $17 plus $6 shipping, NOT FREE as stated in many earlier reviews. Last time I found I had run out of 4X DVD-R blanks, could not find them anywhere fast or at a reasonable cost. Have made extensive notes in the manual that are a MUST, things I learned through trial and error.
Purchase something that actually records with DVD's that are available. Dont even bother. Big thumbs down.
Bought this for my mother-in-law to convert those old VHS classics to DVD for longer shelf life. Quality of the DVD is based on the quality of the VHS. Once you read the instructions, it is fairly simple to use. We are going to buy another in the future for our own home.
Nevertheless, I would be wary of this brand. Look for a better brand. No dvd writing at all, just the dreaded E25 error. The problem is the dvd recorder doesn't last long. So it was not a good purchase as a dvd recorder.
They've fixed things for me before; they're pretty good. It has been a great dvd player and vhs player and recorder. Some other brands would not work. Then a couple months ago, every disk I tried would not be recognized by the DVDR90VE. I've had this dvd/vcr combo for two years.
But this dvd recorder stopped working. (Not a combo unit, it handles just dvds). After I burn 25 or 50 disks, I'll let you know how it holds up. Though I've owned this machine a long time, I've made perhaps 20 dvds with it. They said it couldn't be fixed and called it cheap.
I tried early on to give disks it could burm without trouble: TDK, Memorex, Verbatim. I have older vcr's and dvd players that still work fine. I took the machine to a local electronics repair shop. Every disk was "bad.". I have an LG I like now.
Maybe dvd recorders are temperamental devices and after a while, they stop working.
