After I purchased the product for what was too much money, I read a review which stated that his machine broke a few days after the manufacturer warranty expired, which is 10 days after it arrives to your home. I am not happy. I wasted money on this product. The dvd player functions fine. I heard good things about refurbished Sony products. The vcr portion functioned normally it seemed, minus some tracking issues. I didn't want to believe that it would happen to me. I had to purchase another dual deck.
I use my vcr alot because I record shows, when I am not home. Several days after the manufacturer warranty for sending it back free of charge expired, the vcr destroyed 2 of my favorite VHS tapes, one of which was the classic Labyrinth. You can't get your money back unless it happens within the time frame before 10 days. This is not the case with this one.
It works great. was the supplier. Alectrics, Inc. Delivery was prompt. The product and service was "As Advertised". I bought a combo VCR/DVD player. No problems. I would definitely buy from this vendor again.
Pros:-Excellent machine but did not last. The VHS side could last for 100 years.Not worth the $150 I paid for it. (My last SONY from 2000 lasted till beginning of 2006).-VHS has super fast rewind and playback. It'll last a long time.Cons:-DVD player is not meant to play a lot of DVDs. If used, DON'T BUY IT SINCE THEY ARE SELLING PROBABLY BECAUSE THE DVD PLAYER IS GOING. When the DVD player goes, it starts to say, "No disc" a lot then stops entirely.
I needed a minimal unit to play old VHS and DVDs. I'm not talking rewind etc., I'm just talking how long it takes to boot up. We have a sophisticated HDD/DVD-recorder Tivo-like device which plays DVDs, its slow to boot, andtoo complicated for everyone else in my family to use as a DVD player.Our old Sony VCR died from old age. We have a Sony DVD player on another TV set.This unit is not as good as either of the stand-alone units.What I find most annoying is how slow it is. It takes 20 seconds to start up.I find the remote to be a pain to use. I constantly hit the wrong buttons.I wish I had bought some other VHS/DVD unit.
I read only the first few reviews and they were all great and now that I have the unit, the VCR plays only audio--no video--the DVD plays fine.I am waiting to hear from the seller as to whether I can return this player.
