Freezes/hangs on playback

by kcolivier , Feb 25, 2008
Pros: Not too hard for a geek to operate
Cons: Freezes or hangs during playback of about 10% of commercial DVDs I've tried
The Bottom Line: There are probably better DVD/VHS Recorder combos. I would not recommend buying this one.
This reviewer does not recommend this product.
Review: I purchased the RDR-VX555 to replace my years old Sony VCR and planned to primarily copy some VHS to DVD as well as record programs from my DVR. It does these functions OK. However, I expected that this would also replace my older DVD Player (DVP...

Sony RDR-VX525 DVD VHS Player/Recorder; This IS the one that YOU want!!

by popsrocks , Jan 6, 2008
Pros: The process of hook up was easy as is the dubbing.
Cons: If I had to use the book as a guide I would have been lost.
The Bottom Line: This DVD/VHS Player/Recorder was a snap to hook-up, set-up and record on. The quality of the dubbed DVD's are excellent. They're straight-out duplicates of the original.
This reviewer recommends this product.

Recorded DVDs are NOT Compatible with Other Players

by bvanyo , Dec 22, 2007
Pros: Fine as a Combo DVD/VHS player, but overpriced for that.
Cons: Recorded DVDs can't be played on other machines, making it essentially useless as a recorder.
This reviewer does not recommend this product.
Review: I copied two VHS tapes to DVDs on this machine. The DVDs play back on this machine, but every other DVD player I tried failed to play them, including another Sony DVD player which displayed a "no disc" error. I also couldn't play them on my...
