Product ReviewsSony SLV-D281p DVD/VCR Combo Player & VHS Recorder-No Remote

Sony DVD/VCR Player

I ordered this Sony DVD/VCR Player to replace another Sony unit that no longer worked. So far it seems just fine, it plays both our old VCR tapes as well as DVDs, which is just what we wanted. I like the fact that the remote is pretty much the same as our old one, nothing new to learn. I guess it does not enable one to tape, but we have a cable TV box, & never tried to do that anyways. We use our TV in the den for recording, but it would be nice to record in the livingrooom, as that is where we have all of our movie channels. But it was simple to se up & very easy to use. Just what we were looking for, also a nice looking unit.Read full review...

Very happy with product, glad to have it.

Glad to have this unit. My previous VCR/DVD combo died and I needed another one to be able to watch VCR tapes that I have. And to be able to covert a few to DVD.

Nice DVD/VCR combo package

This DVD/VCR combo is a great little find. It has great playback features and looks great. However, for those looking for a DVD/VCR combo with a tv tuner built in, this is not for you. The Description can throw you off a bit with the whole record your favorite TV bit. That is the whole reason why I bought this. I was a bit disappointed when I got it and discovered that there was no built in tuner, but the overall quality of the product is wonderful even with out the tuner. So this product definately gets a A from me.Read full review...

Why possess a DVD Player/VCR Combo?

For a while, I wanted a DVD & VCR combination player. I learned a long time ago that you have to be ready for anything. In this case, having a DVD and VCR player simultaneously benefits due to the fact that people may still have videotapes (instead of DVD of movies, shows, and etc.). The reason for buying it is that I was tired of using my current DVD. In addition, if the decision arrived that I want to rent old and new movies from stores such as Blockbuster, reassurance favors me in watching discs or tapes of past & present shows, movies, music videos, and more.Read full review...

DVD/VCR Combo

I purchased this item because I needed an inexpensive DVD/VCR player to use in my classroom. Many teaching materials are either VHS tapes or on DVD and I needed a reliable player with a remote control that I could connect to an LCD projector. This Sony Combo was very reasonably priced and had the specifications I needed. Being able to run either format (tape or DVD)in the same machine was very important to me. The SONY SLV-D281P was very easy to set up and run. The quality of the picture and sound are excellent. I would highly recommend this product as it proved to me you don't need to spend a lot of money to get the basics in a DVD/VCR player.Read full review...

Was what I was looking for!!

This was perfect for my grandsons room. They have both vhs and dvd, with this player they can watch either. Seems to run good and now they stay in bed all night.

SLV-D281P An excellent dvd player/vcr combo

When deciding to purchase a dvd player/vcr combo the only things I am concerned about is the picture quality, ease of operation and price. This inexpensive, easy to use unit has an excellent dvd and vcr playback picture quality that I believe is second to none. Remember-This is a dvd player and not a dvd recorder. Also keep in mind that this unit does not have a built in tuner. This means that in order for the unit to function you will need a separate tuner (such as a cable box or satellite box) that HAS video/audio jack outputs along with a television that HAS video/audio jack inputs.Read full review...
