Sony RDR-VX500 DVD Player/Recorder with VCR
What a bummer...
Every time I try burning DVDs using data from my Sony TRV-25 camcorder using the iLink connection, there are noticeable audio dropouts that usually last for a few seconds.  The video seems to record fine, but there are usally at least 2 audio dropouts on every DVD I burn :(  Since burning DVDs from my camcorder using the iLink connection feature was the main reason why I bought this unit, I am very disappointed.  I can,  however, burn DVDs using the standard composite RCA cable connector cables.  This is the first Sony product I've ever bought that had any kind of issue at all.  What a bummer.  Sony's quality assurance testing group was obviously asleep at the wheel during testing.  How about ensuring that the product works before you market and sell it to the public?  I will be returning the unit.  If making DVDs from the data on your camcorder is important to you and you'd like to use the iLink connection, I'd stay away from this unit!  There must be something out there that works.
