Digital camera reviews of Sony RDR-VXD655 VHS DVD Recorder Combo with Built In HD Tuner
Digital camera Review: Ouch....
Summary: 1 Stars
I saw that this was unavailable on Amazon so I checked out the Sony site.. On the Sony site they state that this is no longer available.. Too sad, because I've heard and read online that this is a very good product....Digital camera Review: Not Happy
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this combo DVD/VCR player for my exercise tapes, which I use daily, since I have a wide collection of both VHS & DVD's. And I've always liked the user-friendly aspect of Sony products. However, after only 4 months, both DVD & VHS tapes started freezing in the middle of play. Not good when you're right in the middle of your morning work-out.
Because of security features Sony now installs in their devices to forestall piracy, only the Sony company can do repairs. So, even though it was still under warranty, I'm required to ship it back to them at my expense. After 3 months, they sent it back, saying it couldn't be repaired, only replaced. Yeah, like I want another one!
Instead, I purchased a Pioneer DVD player that doesn't install such security devices. All I want is a reliable, consumer-friendly player. Not one armored for warfare. No more Sony's for me.
Digital camera Review: Combo unit's tuner works fine with my antenna
Summary: 5 Stars
Ordered this combo unit 3mos ago. Was easy to set up, including the Sony's auto-scan recognizing all the analog and digital stations' signals picked up by our antenna. I've had a tunerless Sony combo for a year which has to use a digital converter box for the air wave digital signals. I didn't want more converter boxes, so for my 2nd VHS/DVD recorder I purchased this one because of the built-in tuner. So far both combo units are working fine. (Still have 2 "old style" analog tuner Sony VHS recorders, both several years old and working fine though they also now have to have digital converter boxes connected to them.) Digital camera Review: Problems from day one
Summary: 1 Stars
My Sony RDRVXD655 was a problem from day one and I haven't even used it for what was intended-transfering VHS tapes to disc. Using DVD's, the picture would stop & skip. This problem went away and now the picture has, frequently, a fast vertical 'jerking'. Totally unacceptable for viewing. Now to have to go to the trbl of repacking and returning for repairs/replacement. Heck, I should have bought one of this model that was used and saved some $'s. (I had to click on one star since 0 stars is not available)Digital camera Review: Pleased.
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this to transfer to DVD all the VHS-C tapes of the kids I've accumulated over the years. I have about 70 of those. The Sony is working very well in this process. I put in the VHS-C and a blank DVD-R and press a button. When it's done, it stops and I continue the process. Very easy, and the end product is a very nice DVD collection of the kids.
