Sylvania DVR90VE DVD Player/Recorder and Hi-Fi VCR Combo
Lost my money on this product
Well, I think there's an obvious quality control problem at this company.  After less than 30 days after my online purchase here, the DVD recorder would skip for about 5 seconds ===> data loss.  The player would tell me that my blank discs had errors.  Now I realize after tossing about a dozen blank discs, it was this piece of work from Sylvania/Funai that needed to be tossed.  On a positive note, I did find that the user interface was simple and easy to understand. <br /> <br />Unfortunately, the sad end to this miserable purchase was that the DVD motor failed completely.  When I called the technical assistance hotline, they were competent and willing to help.  They refered me to a local authorized repair shop who charged me $25 to look at the problem, and quoted me a maximum repair price of $100.  Then the shocker---after another week's delay, they said that the manufacturer's cost for the DVD motor drive was going to be $250, and they recommended that it was not worth it....Uh, yes, since that's more than the price of the entire unit.  So, after a total loss of about $300 and no refund, I drove down to Circuit City and bought a Sony DVD/VHS recorder for another $400....End of Story.
