Sony SLV-D300P Progressive-Scan DVD-VCR Combo
did not work until unit repaired, under warranty
It would allow you to go from DVD to video thr the remote and would  only sometimes let you set up through the Menu to let you record, etc. <BR>It was not ever working correctly from the start. Finally when a tape stuck and could not be released, I was forced to go to a Sony repair center.<BR>They fixed the entire problem, had to get a part from Sony...took about 10 days.  And now it works just fine.  But, I am not impressed..as it should have worked OK in the beginning.  At least, Sony stood behind the product.  Glad I had it fixed within the free warrantly period.
