Sony RDR-VX500 DVD Player/Recorder with VCR
A Must Have For Video Collectors
I was cautious about buying a DVD/VCR recorder and did tons of research before settling on the Sony VX500.  I haven't been disappointed.  The quick guide for installing was easy to read and follow.  I had my DVD connected and made my first DVD in one night.  The VCR is top of the line, and plays 20+ year old tapes extremely well.  I have several old TV series on VCR tapes, as well as some old home movies.  I've already transfered an entire season worth of shows with not a single problem.  I use DVD-R dvds and have tried them on a wide assortment of DVD players with no compatibility problems.  The sound and picture quality of these transfers is amazing.  If you have old VCR tapes, this is the perfect way to convert them to DVD.
