Sony DVD/VCR Progressive Scan Combo Player SLV-D281P

This player is the bomb diggity, I bought one off eBay for $150.00 and I had problems with it from day 1, and granted this one isn't a dvd recorder like the other one was, but it plays DVDs & VHS, which was the ultimate goal !!! Well well worth the $7.99 price, I seriously thought it was a misprint, but I figured if I get screwed again it only cost me a smidge of the piece of crap I got from a seller on eBay !!!

When I googled VCR/DVD player with tuner the Amazon website comes up and if you click on the link this product is one that is in the grouping of VCR/DVD players that should have a tuner BUT it does not. I was further deceived because this is the replacement model for the unit I have that does have a tuner built in. Upon receiving the product and reading on the outside of the box I could see this was not what I was wanting to purchase. I had to send it back at my expense and there is still a 10% restocking fee even if unopened. Not like returning something to a local store.

Didn't expect remote or manual. Good they both came . Also has no rf out . Exactly what I wanted.

ok

The Sony DVD/VCR Combo Player SLV-281P has a fine picture and like most Sony products is well constructed. However, you must have a cable box in order to record on VHS tapes (it only plays DVDs).I called Comcast, our cable company, and they confirmed that while those receiving cable without boxes WILL get digital TV in February, they WILL NOT be able to record off devices that don't have tuners -- and the Sony SLV-281P does not have one. Comcast suggested waiting until February, when such units will have digital tuners that will accept its COAX without a cable box. By the way, the seller charged me the 8.54% Los Angeles sales tax, but when I returned the unit I was refunded only the 7.50% sales tax that is in effect where I live. Watch out!

Works well. An added bonus was both a DVD and Blockbuster VHS installed. No remote control, instructions, or cables. I have not yet tried to copy VHS tapes to the DVD but that would be just a bigger plus. The seller sent a clean and functioning VCR.. Based on this product, I would purchase more used items from this vendor.

No dislikes. Used in our RV for Recreational usage. Good Buy, if that iswhat you are looking for.

Works fine, there was no remote included. learned to check about extras
