Sony SLV-D350P DVD / VCR Combo
Upgrading from stand alone DVD player
I bought this unit to replace my stand alone Sony DVD player, I picked this one since it had optical out and I could reuse my optical audio cable.  This is not a component style device. The volume button on the remote does not control the stereo, it does the television instead.  My Television does not have an optical input so I went into the menu and adjusted the outputs.  Still no way to control the audio on the stereo.  It does however have some neat features.  You can lock the dvd door to keep kids out, but not the VCR door. You can zoom in on the picture up to 4X's on DVD's.  The old Sony DVD remote works so I can watch movies and control the stereo's volume.  You can watch DVD's and VHS through the RF making this a simple plug and play device. <br />You cannot use both the DVD and VCR function together.
