Sony RDR VX 560:
This VCR/DVD combo does all that it is supposed to do. Unit arrived in good condition-and when I tested the various functions, they all seemed to work properly.

Other than that, I'm happy with the purchase and the seller.
The Sony product which did not deliver:
I have been a Sony fan all my life but this product left a sour taste in my mouth. I have never seen such shoddy quality in a Sony product. The item arived broken with a VCR door in pieces. Amazon did offer a discount as compensation but for days I could not locate the product. While the Amazon site said it was delivered, I was pulling my hair trying to locate it.
