Sony RDRVX515 DVD Recorder
Run, don't walk away from Sony!
Shame on me for not trying out all the components on this machine before the 30 day return policy was up.  My main interest was dubbing from VCR to DVD.  That worked fine.  Recording a TV show to VCR also worked fine. I didn't try to record from the TV to DVD until weeks after the 30 day return policy. The store where I bought it wouldn't take it back, so I struggled through Sony's poor customer service, used up 10 DVDs, and still the machine froze repeatedly. The discs wouldn't eject, it was a nightmare.  Sony solution - return item to Laredo, Texas (the only place that fixes this unit)at my own expense!  So $30 later, I sent what they asked.  Unit, remote control, and all cables, also bill of sale.  Three weeks later unit is returned, minus the cables and no batteries in the remote control. Called Sony customer service.  They blamed the post office for removing the cables and batteries from the remote control from the box (Even though the box was sealed when I received it. My response to the idiot I spoke to at Sony cusomter service, \\"You have got to be kidding!!\\" Still waiting for the cables. It may be forever.  One clear lesson I learned,  Sony is not consumer friendly and I would be very cautious about purchasing another Sony product.  I never should have bought this lemon.
