    Your description of this produce was misleading. The product could not be used to record television programs without a tuner. I returned the product to the nearest Best Buy, where even the help there was with little knowledge.

    I am hoping I can get the device hooked up correctly and use it. I have spent several hours so far and not much luck. Discouraged!!

    The HDMI out port didn't work reliably...I used many different cables and sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. I tried many different ports on my TV as well...it was def the item. Sad...I was looking forward to using it...but I'm not going to take the chance with another one...

    I bought this after my 15 year old Sony finally died. This was the ONLY choice at the store. Out of the box problems started when I couldn't change the record speed for the VCR. ;All the controls are on the remote. I then tried a timed recording on the DVD recorder and that never happened. I tried to play a DVD and couldn't get the unit to work either with the remote or the buttons on the unit. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.

    Your salesmen are not familiar with this product. It did not meet my needs. I do not have a cable box & even with the box the Geeks brought to me the product would not work.

    at 70 yrs old, wanted a simple player to play both vhs and dvd. This product was complicated to use. Struggled with ejecting a tape. The machine destroyed several vhs tapes as the tape got caught in wheels. No other device at best buy had both playback for VHS and DVD. Package enticement not enough to determine effectiveness. Thanks to Best Buy's return policy.

    It does the job being used more for a VHS player then for the recorder from VHS to DVD that I wanted it for.

    This has no internal tuner and requires additional products to make it work. I called everyone in town and finally called the manufacture, they all told me that an external tuner was not made for this product. I finally took it back and bought a DVR.
