Customer Ratings & Reviews

as I said above, husband uses it a lot. He had one before.

I have a lot of old VHS Tapes that are home videos that I wanted to put to DVD & I could not get it to work.

The DVD payer also transfers VHS to DVD. Works great!

I thought I would use this product to transfer tapes to dvd's. On rewind, it broke a vhs tape and then it simply quit working after transferring about 12 tapes to a dvd. I bought another one of these from another store because there are few brands that stilll make video to dvd transfer machines. The salesperson said they are not made nearly as well as they used to be.

Great product did everything we thought it would....

Just being able to convert my numerous VCR's to DVD's.

The unit supports all combinations of different medias.

Very hard to connect using coax from cable box to unit and coax to tv that does not have HDMI.

have a lot of vhs tapes I want to transfer to dvd - this recorder will do this very well for me.

A Best Buy employer said this could record from DVD to VHS, but the HDMI cable only goes out and not in.

Instruction manual wrong on how to copy from VCR to DVD. After two trips to Reno Best Buy they were of no help. One Best Buy rep sold CDs to my wife telling her to try to use those to record video to see if that worked instead of DVD-R. Finally figured out how to make VCR/DVD copy by not following directions

Didn't realize this model was different from the 2011 model I bought then. NO timer!

It didn't connect to our brand new TV; only 1 brand

I DON'T KNOW WHO THOUGHT THAT THOSE OF US WHO STILL USE VCRS WOULD WANT ONE WITHOUT A TUNER. MANY PEOPLE STILL RECEIVE OVER THE AIR BROADCASTS AND WANT TO RECORD. THIS VCR WAS USELESS TO ME AND I HAD TO RETURN IT.

We went through three of these and had to return all three for defects.

I threw away the box after installation, and when I went to use it for the first time, it wouldn't even turn on. Worst $90.00 I ever spent. I still have receipt, but without box I can't even return it. I had to shop elsewhere to get another one that works. Very upsetting.

I bought this unit at a Best Buy on the 'Order online, pick up at store'. The first order didn't seem to go through, and although I never received a 'your order is ready' email, the unit was waiting when I got there. I invoked the "Low Price Guarantee", so I saved about $55 off the price. So, for me, this is a good deal. As far as set up goes, I am somewhat tech saavy, so it wasn't too difficult to figure out. Mostly determine what goes in and what goes out (signal-wise). Since I was routing this through my Slingbox, that threw one more device in the mix, but everything worked just fine. My AT&T DVR/Receiver/Tuner was already connected to the Slingbox, so all I had to do was connected the A/V cables to the "out" of my Slingbox and to the "in" of the unit. Then I connected the HDMI cable from the unit to the TV. The HDMI out on the unit is in an obscure place...not located with all the other ports, so that took a minute to find. My sole purpose of this entire endeavor was to record the DVR'd (recorded videos) on my AT&T receiver. While I'm sure there were other ways to accomplish this, for me, this was the best route. I was really worried I might have to run the Slingbox in order to actually record the shows. Not so. As long as it's on, it simply acts as a pass-through. I'm using DVD+R/W, and so far, I've been able to use a DVD multiple times. The quality is good (I'm using a combination of composite cables and straight yellow video cables), but everything seems in working order. The hardest thing for me is figuring out how to edit the titles of the DVDs. Next step.

Bought this for my mother, she is having some trouble, but could just be her,

Thrilled about the quality of the combos these days but it works,

works fine once I figured out how I had my son set it up so now satisfied
