Sony RDR-VX515. Great VCR / DVD recorder.

A nice unit for burning DVD copies of your own recorded vcr tapes. You still have the convenience of using it as a VCR or a DVD burner. The best parts I like is that I can record music on to DVD on the "SEP",(8 hour) setting and the dvd can be played on a computer or other player. Also the best feature I found is being able to record tv shows via the built in tuner and timer and have the choice of recording to a VCR tape or to a DVD disc. I have not tried to copy to a dual layer DVD, so I do not know if you can do dual layer discs in this unit, but the vx-530 you can, maybe that is the difference between the newer model, I didn't see much else. The only disapointment I have is that it does not tune the digital channels and does not have component video output jacks, But for the money, this is still a nice unit. I have really been working this thing almost non stop and it is still going fine. Just do not block the fan in back and make sure you set the unit on a smooth surface. There are vent holes in the bottom for air to be drawn in by the fan, if you have it sitting on a padded or carpeted surface, air will not be able to be circulated. Overall, I have to give this unit a "GOOD" rating.
