 no internal tuner makes it hard to record from tv July 27, 2007
15 out of 16 found this review helpful
Although it is not listed in the description for this item, there is no internal tuner in this unit. Therefore, before you can record a program from tv you must first hook up an external tuning device. I don't know about you but to me, what is the point of a recording device that doesn't easily record? There are so many choices out there and it is confusing enough without something like this being clearly identified in the description. Anyway, hopefully this review will help someone before they buy. It does play videos and dvds great---just hard to record.
 It DOES record October 8, 2007

Not bad for the price.
To record, you'll need an extra video cable and a Y-adapter audio cable (not included).
SYLVANIA Unit
On the rear of the unit find 6 columns of jacks. The first 4 columns have "DVD" laveled at the top. The 5th column has "DVD/VCR" labeled at the top. The 6th column (the farthest to the right) is labeled "VCR" at the top. You'll use these 2 jacks; 1 Audio IN jack and 1 Video IN jack. Plug the audio and video cables to these jacks on the back of the unit. If you are using a standard audio cable and not a Y-adapter audio cable, you will realize that there is only 1 Audio IN jack for your 2 plugs (a red and white for right and left). It still will record if you only plug in one of the two cables.
TELEVISION
Next, connect the cables to the the Video OUT jack and Audio OUT jacks on your TV. Connect the Video cable to the Video OUT jack. Connect the Audio OUT cables to the Audio OUT jacks. Note, your television will probably have 2 Audio OUT jacks. Plug in both cables into the Audio OUT jacks.
 Useless for anything but playback, no recording functions November 28, 2007

I bought this unit, and it is only for playing DVDs and VCR tapes. Sure, it WILL record...but not in any useful manner.
There is no internal tuner. What this means is that you have to provide a line in from your tv or another source like a cable box. It does not, as most VCRs do, take a coaxial cable.
To record, you have to set the tv to the channel you want. You can't change the channel on the tv, or the vcr will record the new channel instead.
Also, there's no timer in the VCR. So you literally have to be standing there ready to hit RECORD when the show starts.
The whole reason I have a VCR so I don't HAVE to be there when the show is on.
I immediately boxed it back up, and it's going back. I'm giving it two stars only because I assume the DVD player works fine. I never even turned it on, so I don't know.
It broke within a week of getting it. October 14, 2007

You ever have a computer crash on you? When it just locks up and freezes and the mouse and keyboard don't respond. Well, that's kinda what happened to this device. Within about a week of getting it the remote control stopped working, the on/off button wouldn't work and the controls on the machine stopped working. I left it off for a few hours and I turned it back, that helped for a few days but then it stopped working again. I tried keeping it unplugged when not using it, only plugging it in when I wanted to play it, but that didn't help. I plugged it into a different socket, still the same. It finally just stopped working so I returned it to the store where I'd bought it and the clerk there said that a lot of customers were returning this product! I ended up purchasing a more expensive DVD/VCR combo. Take my advice; don't bother with this model. It's no bargain if it doesn't last!
 Great Service and Price. May 12, 2007
