Also had difficulty playing back disks on other players
Review posted on Aug 17, 2008
49 out of 57 found this review helpful

After a very frustrating 24 hours I produced my first VHS to DVD conversion only to find that the DVD would not play my other Sony or Toshiba DVD players. This just should not be this hard to get right assuming that it is not a basic system compatibilityissue which Sony has been know to struggle with. At this point I consider this a wasted effort and money.

Great Purchase, Better than Samsung
Reviewer: Andrew from Deptford, NJ on Oct 22, 2008
15 out of 15 found this review helpful

For anyone in the market for a DVD/VCR recorder, this is it. I tried a Samsung one, but many negative reviews were talking about Audio Sync problems. Trust me, it's true. I returned that and bought the Sony one. It's setup just like the Samsung. Dubbed a VHS to DVD and it was flawless. The upconversion is nice. It works with all media, including DVD-R which isn't posted in the specs. In the manual sony states as of December 2007 it supports every format except DVD-RAM. It can only read DVD-RAM. I have played the DVD-R that I recorded on a iMac (20' AI), PS3, PC and 400 Disc DVD Changer. They all work like a charm. Setup is easy if you don't' read the manual. Remember that everyone's set up is different. Don't take everything you see in the manual literally. They don't know what you have. Just browse through it and use common sense. You should probably have some sort of Home Theater knowledge before attempting this as well. Over all, it's a great buy.

DVD Burning Disc to watch on other DVD players
Reviewer: icu2tv from Orting, WA on Oct 17, 2008
29 out of 29 found this review helpful

Had trouble burning a DVD-RW. (Directions Needs Improvement) Could watch it on the unit but would not work when trying to watch on other DVD players even after Finalizing disc after recording. Had to un-finalize the dics (which erease everthing on discDVD-RW) then reforemat the disc using 'Video instead of VR'

So you place disc in sony player, format using VIDEO, then record you stuff, after you got what you want on disc then finalize. DVD is ready to play in other players.

When your ready to record over the disc just unfinalize disc. (Could not get it to work on my computer yet but thats next)
