    Product was a bit clunky when recording more that one VHS tape and titles were very hard to add.

    This is just what I was looking for. I can now copy my home movies to DVD before they fade and become useless.

    Defective

    This factory refurbished unit would probably been a good value for the dollar. It looked brand new. Unfortunatly the DVD tray would not operate and it had to be returned. The refund was timely but I still incured a $25 shipping fee to return it and still had to go out and find something else. A bit annoying, but that's life!

    NEVER AGAIN

    I am in the process of returning it as you read this. I have not been able to use it at all because it will not stay on. It has nothing to do with the standby button. You can turn it on by pressing play, opening thte dvd player or by using the on/off button. It doesn't matter which way you do it, it turns off in 20-25 seconds EVERY TIME! I WILL NEVER BUY REFURBISHED PRODUCTS AGAIN.

    Complicated directions, at least for me; am going to call for help from either my cable provider or the product tech support dept.

    Didn't work out of the box

    I bought this to transfer my old VHS tapes to DVD. I put in a tape, and the whole unit shut down. When I turned it back on, it spit out the tape. I repeated this 15 times or so and it kept doing the same thing. Guess it's going back...very disappointing.

    HORRIBLE!

    My mom has the same item and it worked great straight out of the box. However, being that my item is refurbished leads me to believe that refurbished is NEVER the way to go.

    Great price if it had worked. It starts to play a DVD and then it stops after only 10 seconds. Had to return it.
