Sony DVD recorder, so far so good
This Sony video cassette recorder and DVD recorder is easy to use and it has worked fine for the 6 months that I have been using it. It would be nice if when giving a title to my recordings, the process was simpler and it doesn't have certain common symbols, such as the apostrophe. It takes a few minutes to assign titles to the recordings in one disk. Other than that, it's a great product, so far (crossed fingers). I'm just very skeptical because I've had purchased at least 3 DVD recorders in the last 2 or 3 years and they have been awful and I have to throw them away. I do not record a lot because I don't have the time I wish I had for it, but so far, so good. Occasionally, a disk is rejected, but I guess it's the disk. I've always liked Sony for video and audio equipment, as it has lasted more than other brands. I hope this DVD recorder lasts for at least 3 or 4 more years because I've had 3 or 4 that have lasted maybe 1.5 years at the most and I'm very careful with my audio and video equipment.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great for VHS to DVD Conversion
We purchased this to convert all of our old VHS tapes to DVD before the tapes are unusable. This unit does that with a one touch button (dubbing). The quality of the conversion is really good. In addition, there is an HDMI output which upscales the picture to a modern television. Even though the output to the television is upscaled, the recordings do remain the original size aspect ratio. Very easy to use, very easy to set up.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great unit, superb picture with line in and out or better yet, HDMI output. Acceptable with 4K TV.
Swapped the DVD drive over from another 555 - the picture is stunning - even the VCR output via the HDMI output to my Vizio up-converting 4K TV - at 60" the video of VHS tapes is totally acceptable; I am rediscovering the tape collection. And I will be able to burn some to DVD blanks to preserve them. And I have a spare 555 that I already repaired. If you use a cable box and use a line in and HDMI out to HD or 4K TV, this works great! Superb VCR and DVD recorder.Verified purchase: Yes
