    Pros: Records and plays back both - and + discs

    Cons: user's manual could have been simplified

    I read for about a month on DVD recorders before I purchased this one. I would find one that had one thing I wanted and didn't have something else. I downloaded the user's manual and read it before purchasing the unit. I have had mine about 6... weeks now and so far everything has worked just like it's suppose to. I'll admit I was kinda scared when I got it because I had heard so much negative feedbacks about all of the DVD recorders. I think I made a wise choice in my selection. It did cost a little more than some of the other brands, but hey, you know the old saying "You get what you pay for". Read more Less

    Pros: sony quality, easy of use

    Cons: none yet

    i bought this recorder after much research and shopping on line on 29jan05 and i am a happy customer.i was somewhat worried that hooking up the recorder to the digital cable box would be a challenge but the express instructions made that very easy.th...e manual, i found, easy to use. i have started the process of transferring vhs tapes to cd and wish there was a pause button with this recorder that i read the jvc recorder has but i am working around that little problem.overall, i am very happy with this sony product. it may have been on the pricey side (i got a good deal at circuit city and noticed the price had gone up the next day!), buti believe the sony quality is worth the peace of mind and the somewhat higher cost for the recorder.p.s. i did call sony support for a question that i anticipated knowing the answer to but wanted to hear the answer from sony support, and found the person helpful and friendly.
