Sony RDR-VX555 Tunerless DVD Recorder/VHS Combo Player

One great product. It works right out of the box, the first time. Set up is a snap and takes only about 10 minutes. I have a Dish satellite system and had been warned that Sony had put a chip in this recorder that would disallow any recordings from the DVR. I have found this allegation totally false as I have had no trouble whatsoever recording directly from the Dish or the DVR. VCR dubbing is also a snap as long as you set recording speed first. I have put 8 hours of old VHS tapes on one DVD. And if you purchase the HDMI to DVI input cable, everything is played at 1080i which has a much clearer picture on High Def TV set. I am very pleased with this product. - Customer Reviews
