Sylvania DVR90VE DVD Player/Recorder and Hi-Fi VCR Combo
One star is way too high.
I read the manual cover to cover a few times to make sure I'm doing this right because I'm using the one blank DVD that comes with the unit. After recording a home movie for about twenty minutes I get an error message saying it won't record to the disk. Bad sign. Try again, it says it can't record to the disk and now the disk THAT CAME WITH IT won't even load. <br /> <br />OK, maybe it's a bad disk. So I by DVDs that the manuel says will work. More of my time wasted. Go right to internet search and find this review thread. It answers some questions. <br /> <br />The firmware upgrade should solve my problem but it looks like there are other issues. So I call customer support to try and get the firmware (No CD burner or I'd DL it) and wait 15 minutes only to get sent to voicemail. Try again and get the same result. <br />Poor customer support for a poor product. I'll never buy from sylvania, funia, ect, again. <br /> <br />It's amazing that these problems have been known for well over a year, yet this product is still being sold to unsuspecting consumers. <br /> <br />I'm just glad I hooked up my video cam to it and didn't let the VCR eat one of my VHS tapes that I was tring to preserve! <br /> <br />By the way, I didn't purchase it from Amazon. I'll be shipping it back to the chumps I ordered it from. And never order from them again either.
