Why did I buy this? The DVR does not record, The DVD freezes during playback, The VCR chewed up one tape and played the next one in fast forward mode, and The digital processor cannot maintain a channel - pixelates every channel. I took it in for service; they replaced the mother board and the DVR; the DVR froze up the unit when I tested it and I had to unplug the unit in order to regain control. Honestly, I would throw it out the window, but I don't want to have to replace the window. I doubt I will ever buy a Sony product again. June 12, 2010
RDR-VDX655, a super device This is a terrific unit. I purchased a second unit recently and had to settle for a refurbished by Sony model as there were no others in stock available for purchase. Easy to use, especially if you have cable, this device is perfect for those who don't want to toss all the VCR collections or make digital copies of VCR tapes. It has a particularly good digital tuner built in and upgrades most DVD's to 1080i. A good product for the money if you can find one for sale. July 2, 2009
Disappointing purchase Decent system but has some problems for people who have to use antenna's. You have to turn your antenna to get your stations on tv but with this unit you can not just add the channels if they are digitial. You have to rescan for digitial and in the process you lose the ones that you already have on the unit from the previous scan. We are very disappointed in this system for that reason. We currently have a SONY BR6 and our less expensive sony tv you are able to ADD channels as you move the antenna unlike this DVD/VCR combo. DO NOT SPEND SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY TO BUY THIS PRODUCT. BUY THE LESS EXPENSIVE ONE AND HAVE A CONVERTER BOX YOU WILL COME OUT CHEAPER THAN WE DID!!!! March 28, 2009
Excellent Machine I had no problem programming the t.v. tuner. the dvd recorder woks just fine. this is every thing i wanted in a machine. i also bought this for the digital tuner. i would definitely recommend this my family members or anyone else. Sony really hit a home run with this one. i will always be a true die hard fan of any Sony products. Way to go Sony. January 24, 2009
