Sony SLVD360P DVD / VCR Combo
Slow remote performance
My mother and I both bought this product and have both been less than satisfied (forunately mine got blown up by lightening today and I have a chance to replace it). The remote is very slow in responding to commands. Trying to watch a recorded television show and fast forward through commercials is frustrating. When you push the button to stop fast forward and resume the show, it takes the processor so long to follow through, you are well into the scene of the show. Try to re-wind to catch the first couple of sentences again and you're back into the commercial so far, you should have just watched that ad and not missed the show intro.<br /><br />It IS nice to be able to watch DVD's while the VCR records (however, I'm sure most models do that) and most other features seem to be OK, although I find it difficult to switch to the Line In Front jacks and go through a button pushing ritual each time I try.<br /><br />I'll stick with TIVO for the recording of TV shows!! If it weren't for my four children and all of their pre-recorded videos I probably wouldn't replace the VCR at all.
