drissi from CA Member Since: Aug 2004 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 3 Months	Sony SLV-D380P Combo Player Strengths: Space saver, Progressive playback (DVD), Plays any DVD format, Hi-Fi Stereo (VHS), easy setup and timer programming. Strong motor Weaknesses: Remote buttons are small Summary: I'm not a fan of component (2 in 1), but it takes little space in the bedroom. We still have VHS tapes and the DVD library is growing. I still tape programs and I like the idea of 8 or 9 Hour tape speed and it seems that Sony machines can record and play these size tapes consistantly. With more tape on the spool its heavier and it takes a srong motor to keep the picture steady. I always thought it was bad tracking with other players. At $79, it's e-recyclable. I've had Sonys before and if no one tries to put a PBJ sandwich in it, they last. 100% of People (3/3) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?

hacofour from CA Member Since: Jan 2008 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 2 Weeks	Good basic combo unit Strengths: Price/value Weaknesses: Difficult to read the print on the actual unit (dark print on black background) Summary: This is a decent basic combo deck for a good price. Only complaint is that it's hard to read the print on the unit (dark on dark), but this isn't much of an issue since you're using the remote 99% of the time. 100% of People (1/1) found this review helpful.

thewhitedog Member Since: Apr 2005 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 2 Days	Lemon Strengths: Good price; easy setup; replaces two component elements with one; CD/DVD and tape player work well. Weaknesses: Power shuts off randomly; rear connections faulty; remote control lacks distinction. Summary: I will be returning this unit hoping it is just a lemon and that the replacement will work better. This would be an excellent device without the bugs. It's very convenient to have a VCR and DVD player in the same unit. I still have lots of tapes I want to view from time to time, even though I rarely buy or record a new one. The remote control, however, is small and cluttered and most of the buttons look and feel the same so it is hard to use by by touch alone. 100% of People (1/1) found this review helpful.

karentierney Member Since: Sep 2007 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 1 Day	Sony SLV-D380P DVD/VCR Player Strengths: Good Quality, Easy to Use and Set Up Weaknesses: Unable to record to the VCR unless the TV is hooked up to the cable box. Summary: I purchased this Sony DVD/VCR player for my daughter. The player is multifunctional so she can record things from her computer and play them back on the new player. She says the system works great and would recommend it to her friends. The price was very reasonable. 80% of People (4/5) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?

chakra1975 Member Since: Dec 2007 View Member's: Reviews	Great Product with reasonable price Strengths: Good VCR and DVD player Weaknesses: It is just a DVD/DVR combo. No S-Video capability. Summary: It is just a simple player for DVD and VCR. It is very easy to setup. DVD player is awesome. I had some issues with some DVDs bought outside USA with my Denon home theater. But those worked fine with this dvd player. It fulfilled my expectations. 67% of People (2/3) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.
