Great machine when it's fixed properly.

Author's Rating:

Pros: Full feature set. Good "look and feel".

Cons: Poor engineering/quality control?

Bottom Line:
I don't recommend anyone buy one of these at retail. But if you can tinker, or know someone who can, then these are great units at deep discounts. Read More

Perfect for converting VHS to DVD. Full of features!

Author's Rating:

Pros: Very easy 3 step (1 button) dubbing process DVD>VCR or VCR>DVD

Cons: Small remote control with small buttons and poor layout. No clock display while dubbing.

Bottom Line:
I recommend this product but I'd suggest you compare it with Panasonic and Toshiba. I bought it for a single use, not to replace my VCR or DVD players. Read More

Great Features, Poor Quality

Author's Rating:

Pros: DVD/VHS recording/playback, DV/Firewire (1394) and VHS dubbing, good DVD picture quality

Cons: Poor quality, advanced features require detailed instructions

Bottom Line:
Excellent features and video quality for an all in one- when it is working. Get the extended warranty, or if you don't need the dubbing look at the Panasonic. Read More
