Sony SLV-D300P Progressive-Scan DVD-VCR Combo
Absolute Disaster
With a name like Sony behind it, it is embarrassing that this DVD player performs as mediocrily as it does.  Every single DVD movie that we have attempted to watch tends to pixelate and/or freeze completely (forcing us to turn the machine off an back on in order to continue watching).  The quality is beyond poor and very disappointing.  We did play one VHS movie and it worked fine, but that's only one half of the combo, and most movie owners prefer the DVD format these days.  Recording was not that good though (a blue line appears a few inches from the top of the screen).<br />Overall, this is an absolue disaster of a player.  No wonder every other reviewer has given it such poor ratings: it is not the cheapest in the market, and yet it is probably the worst DVD player that exists (and, hopefully, the only bad product in the sony catalogue).  I am returning this piece of rubbish after all of our attempts to make it work.  Do not waste time or money with it.  It truly stinks :(
