Pros: Many DVD formats, decent remote, control set top box, nice DVD menu
Cons: Could not control our DirectTV receiver, small record light, no tuner, no RF output
The Bottom Line: Good DVD recorder for multi-formats, especially if you don't need a tuner or RF (i.e. coax antenna) output for older TV. I wish the the set-top control worked for us.
This reviewer recommends this product.

Pros: Ease of use, Multiple video & audio options, and data input flexibility.
Cons: No "S Video", Noisy at times
The Bottom Line: For a lower end DVD recorder Sony has a good to great option in the market.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review:
Our Hi-8 camcorder is dying and buying a new one does not make sense. I can play the tapes on it, but recording anything is not possible. So, how do I get the home movies onto DVD? Insert the Sony DVD Recorder.
Found this gem at Wal-mart...
