Excellent, no complaints. Does exactly what it claims to do. Much much better than Panasonic counterpart. Can record digital TV channels to VHS tapes.

We actually ordered this device not just to copy old VHS tapes to DVD but to actually copy DVDs to VHS tape. I make DVDs of vacations and family gatherings. The older members of the family do not have DVD players so I wanted to make VHS copies of these DVDs. The device works great and we are very happy with the selection and price performance.

Without a doubt, this is one of the best DVD/VCR recorders I have come across. I have had absolutely no problems with it, both recording and playback. I received it from the shipper as scheduled, on time, and in perfect condition. Easily set up, the unit worked as depicted in the instruction booklet. Another SONY great!

I purchased the Sony RDR-VXD655 VHS/DVD recorder combo. I am very pleased with it in general, but I wasn't too happy with the discovery that 4:3, the soon-to-be-obsolete standard screen ratio for DVD and VHS videos, videos images are a bit squished on my high-definition television. There are no settings to correct the screen aspect ratio. The Sony wants to fill a 16:9 ratio screen, no matter the format. I don't expect any other manufacturer's HDMI DVD players correct for aspect ratio, so hook up your old 480i DVD and/or VHS player to any extra inputs at the back of your TVs if you want to see an unsquished picture. Wide screen movies, however, look great.

The RDR-VXD655 records digital over-the-air broadcasts on VHS; however, don't expect the VHS recording, pre-recorded movies or your own recordings, to look as good as DVD. I still haven't tried recording anything in DVD yet.

A cool feature of the Sony is it ability to play 5.1 channel sound when it is hooked up to a receiver. I have a 7.1 channel receiver, and broadcast shows sound great in surround sound.

I haven't had any problems that other reviewers talked about. I get good over-the-air reception with a Terk amplified table-top antenna which has loops instead of rabbit ears. While I haven't tried all the features on the Sony, everything that I have used worked great.
