Reviews:| Rating 2.0/5 from 33 reviews | | Bad Recorder | | Rating: 1/5 2010-04-29 | | I would not recommend purchasing this recorder. The picture quality on the VCR deck is so bad that it makes dubbing from VCR to DVD totally useless, which is why I bought the recorder. I first ran the tapes on my Sanyo VCR to make sure it wasn't a tape quality problem. It was not! The recording instructions are complicated but not as bad as some VCR's I have owned. I would look into the Toshiba DVR 670 instead if you are looking for a recorder like this. It got very good reviews. | | Run...don't walk away from this horrible product! (Sony RDR-VX515) | | Rating: 1/5 2008-01-21 | | Bought this video cassette/DVD recorder because it was a Sony. BIG mistake! What a total piece of junk. Sony should be ashamed of duping their customers like this. The VCR recording quality is terrible: murky and the sound is tinny and muted. The DVD recording manuel would take a NASA scientist to understand and then, when you finally do figure out the instructions and follow them to the letter, sometimes the DVD recorder records, and other times gets locked into the "Loading" function and simply won't read or record a DVD at all. The timer for DVD recordings is unreliable and as stated before, sometimes it records and others it does not. As others have stated, the dubbing function from VHS to DVD does not result in clear DVDs and sometimes won't work at all. I would give this product ZERO stars if I could. Do not buy this product! | | Sony has the nerve to call this service | | Rating: 1/5 (4 out of 4 think this is helpful) 2007-03-31 | This unit worked flawlwssly yntil 3 weeks befor the warranty expired. Then
a bad disc hung up in a continuous "Load" function. After the usual support "fal-der-all", I received a "Work Order No.", so off to Laredo it
went for what, I thought, was a simple-enough repair. When I checked thsir repair search site, I found that there was a repair estimate, "for a unit supposedly still in warranty". After tracking through the corporate phone system, I finally was connected to a rather snotty twerp
who informed me that, becaise cigar ashes had been found in the drive, the warranty was voided. When I received a copy of the repair estimate, I
found that repairs were going to cost $459.66 (I only paid $269.89 for the
unit, brand new). I'm waiting to see what sort of trash they return to me.
By the way, I don't smoke cigars !! As I stated , it worked fine, but--!!
Bill C, Warsaw, MO | | Works great | | Rating: 5/5 (1 out of 1 think this is helpful) 2007-02-21 | | I purchaced the $600 sony 6 onths before this one and they work just as well. This peice is a bargin. | | Terrible. Cost too much. Stuck with it. | | Rating: 1/5 (4 out of 5 think this is helpful) 2006-11-17 | | I bought this to copy VHS to DVD. I thought is was high quality because it cost so much. VHS player is terrible quality. So I don't use it for that. It finalizes recordings for half an hour. I'm stuck with it. I won't buy Sony again because I feel ripped off. DVD fast-forward and rewind is ridiculously slow. |
