Digital camera reviews of Sony SLV-D380P DVD/VCR Tunerless Progressive Scan DVD/VHS Combo Player
Digital camera Review: DVD/VCR
Summary: 4 Stars
Who could not understand the word "tunerless". It turns out to be just what I wanted. I have an old unconected Mitsubishi TV and a lot of VCRs and DVDs I wanted to play but all the new units had connectors not available on my older TV all I have is "RCA" inputs. Guess what? So does this unit...Perfect fit for me. People should do better research before they plunk dowm $80. Sonystyle has a great explantion of this set. I think the low price interfered with their input channel. (by the way take note, this unit does not have "S Video or HDMI connectors either)Digital camera Review: Decent DVD player.
Summary: 3 Stars
DVD players can be so unstable, hit and miss, unreliable and short-lived that the machine may be worth the price for that feature alone. It's played every disc and doesn't even stick. There are disappointments, however. This Sony unit's remote control will not operate my Sony TV, which was purchased two years ago. More aggravating is the jumpy picture on all of my commercial VHS tapes when I play them with the Sony. (Note that S-video out and component video out capabilities apply only to the DVD player, not the VHS half.) Fortunately, I've got a really cheap Sylvania VHS player that blows this one away, and by stacking the practically generic machine on top of the Sony combo player and employing three remote controls, I'm able to achieve the desired result for which this machine was manufactured.
Still, somehow it's just not the same.
[Later: One problem I've noticed with the DVD player is the rapid movement of the tray. On some occasions, it's closed so hard the DVD has become dislodged, forcing me to hold the tray back to prevent it from slamming shut.]
Digital camera Review: Disappointing Sony Quality
Summary: 1 Stars
I have been a Sony buyer for years but this is the last time. I bought it in April of 2009 and it just quit. I sent it away and found that they wanted $230 to replace the DVD head. Goodby Sony!Digital camera Review: Disappointment

Summary: 1 Stars
first of all this DVD/VCR
player does not Repeat not have any Coaxial Cable
hook ups and then just to make everything really interesting no, S-Video either and the way to record a show is bizarre to say the least, I only recommend this DVD/VCR combo if you are in to S/M, other wise go and buy another VCR/DVD combo
