- Sony SLV-D380P DVD/VCR Combo Player
- We bought this DVD/VHS recorder as an extra to play in a spare bedroom when company visits, but I use it alot also. I love this DVD/VHS player because the price is very reasonable and it was easy to set up and begin using, just a few minutes. It's easy to use the remote controls and to use the settings from menu like setting the time & recording. Very fast player when loading the dvd's & VHS tapes. Alot faster than the more expensive theatre system we have in the living room that was over 500.00 reg. price.

- Great value/versatile
- The only problem is the remote. All the buttons "feel" the same, round, small! I watch TV in the dark while I'm dozing off to la-la land. I am sure with a bit more familiarity, I'll be fine, but it's tough going at the start. The unit itself is just fantastic.

- A great VCR player, if you don't expect more than it has.
- I have a continuing need for VCRs because I have a large condo and many areas in which to view tapes. I don't use the DVD function because my DVD recorders use RAM discs, but so what? For $79, the DVD drive can sit there empty. This Sony plays 19 micron tapes recorded on my Sharps, JVCs and other Sonys exceptionally well. As I have made a point of buying only 19 micron VCRs, I can't attest to other types of recordings.
This is what you do: Attach it to any AV input directly to your TV, and use it only as a player. There is no coaxial connection, so you have to have an unused AV input. If you have a malfunctioning VCR, don't throw it away. Piggyback this Sony into the front or rear AV inputs, and use this Sony's recording capacity and the old VCR's tuner. Eventually, I will go all DVD, but I need to wait for the prices to come down, and for my other units to die a natural death.
It took awhile for me to figure all this out. I hope it helps others make an appropriate and helpful purchase. I am contemplating buying another one while I can, and reserve it for later in this time of expensive electronic change. - 2007-10-17, 14 of 15 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Sony SLV-D380P DVD/VCR Combo
- I bought this product couple months ago to replace my son's VCR. I want to get a combo so that he can watch his dvds or vhs tapes. For what we need it's great!

- Nice unit
- I don't record just rent dvd's and tapes so this simple unit fits my needs. Setup took 5 minutes. Picture quality is very good. For $80.00 delivered to my door you can't beat the deal. Thank you Amazon.
