Sylvania DVR90VE DVD Player/Recorder and Hi-Fi VCR Combo
VCR portion is lousy/Upgraded to read 8x discs, now it's fin
The first day I set it up, the VCR portion was not working properly. If you try to insert a VCR tape with a bit of force, it would get stuck and you would have problems getting it ejected. Other than the VCR portion, the dubbing from VCR tape to DVD and recording a TV show on DVD seems to be pretty good. I've only used a cheap media from Fry's GQ brand and the machine has recognized it with no problem. Other than the VCR portion, I'd give this machine for what you pay a five star. However, since I still have a rented VHS tape stuck in the VCR, I give it a 3 star.  In reading other reviews, I also called Funai's service support and received the firmware upgrade and they walked me thru to upgrade it to receive 8x discs.  Now I am very happy. I give it a 4 star only because the DVD player does not read VCD discs and also the VCR portion, make sure you don't rewind to the end because it will get stuck.
