    Duration of ownership:3 Months

    Strengths: Space saver, Progressive playback (DVD), Plays any DVD format, Hi-Fi Stereo (VHS), easy setup and timer programming. Strong motor

    Weaknesses: Remote buttons are small

    Overall Evaluation: I'm not a fan of component (2 in 1), but it takes little space in the bedroom. We still have VHS tapes and the DVD library is growing. I still tape programs and I like the idea of 8 or 9 Hour tape speed and it seems that Sony machines can record and play these size tapes consistantly. With more tape on the spool its heavier and it takes a srong motor to keep the picture steady. I always thought it was bad tracking with other players. At $79, it's e-recyclable. I've had Sonys before and if no one tries to put a PBJ sandwich in it, they last.

    Duration of ownership:2 Weeks

    Strengths: Price/value

    Weaknesses: Difficult to read the print on the actual unit (dark print on black background)

    Overall Evaluation: This is a decent basic combo deck for a good price. Only complaint is that it's hard to read the print on the unit (dark on dark), but this isn't much of an issue since you're using the remote 99% of the time.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Good price; easy setup; replaces two component elements with one; CD/DVD and tape player work well.

    Weaknesses: Power shuts off randomly; rear connections faulty; remote control lacks distinction.

    Overall Evaluation: I will be returning this unit hoping it is just a lemon and that the replacement will work better. This would be an excellent device without the bugs. It's very convenient to have a VCR and DVD player in the same unit. I still have lots of tapes I want to view from time to time, even though I rarely buy or record a new one. The remote control, however, is small and cluttered and most of the buttons look and feel the same so it is hard to use by by touch alone.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Good VCR and DVD player

    Weaknesses: It is just a DVD/DVR combo. No S-Video capability.

    Overall Evaluation: It is just a simple player for DVD and VCR. It is very easy to setup. DVD player is awesome. I had some issues with some DVDs bought outside USA with my Denon home theater. But those worked fine with this dvd player. It fulfilled my expectations.

    Duration of ownership:1

    Strengths: Good Quality, Easy to Use and Set Up

    Weaknesses: Unable to record to the VCR unless the TV is hooked up to the cable box.

    Overall Evaluation: I purchased this Sony DVD/VCR player for my daughter. The player is multifunctional so she can record things from her computer and play them back on the new player. She says the system works great and would recommend it to her friends. The price was very reasonable.
