Sony RDR-VX500 DVD Player/Recorder with VCR
Very very nice
I got this for my husband and we haven't done any recording on it yet, but we soon will.  Set up was pretty easy, but agree that the clock is difficult to read when the power is off.<br /><br />The remote slides down at the bottom to reveal the record buttons, and this wasn't in the manual.  I like that it's fully functional with our tv, which our other regualar Sony DVD player isn't (it's four years old).<br /><br />So far so good, though.
