Customer Reviews

Great right out of the box
I primarily used this item to transfer several types of media to DVD. Two types of camcorder tapes and VHS home movies were easily copied to the hard drive, then edited on screen, them burned to DVD. This unit has lots of features so reading through the owners manual to figure it all out was something I was not used to doing. The on screen editing is very straight forward once you read about it. I was very impressed with how my old 8mm and mini-DV tapes looked after moving them to DVD. I haven't used all the features yet, but look forward to it.

This unit only used DVD's that are DVD-R or DVD-RW.

useful tool
The Sylvania HDRV200F is a dated machine, probably from 2005, and I use it only since similar units are not currently being made. You can dub from DVD to HD and reverse , and from VHS to either DVD or HD. It is not programmable to VHS for some reason.
The editor is really why I purchased the unit, and it works precisely and very well. You can edit out commercials to the very frame and then copy them to DVD for your collection. It is tedious, but not nearly so as the Samsungs I have used in the past. They no longer offer editing. And it is a quantom leap from using 2 machines in real time.
The only problem I faced with this machine is the durability of the DVD recorder. All DVD recorder stand alone units are fragile, and will break even under the gentlest of care. Play only DVD standalones are far more reliable, and while I understand creating DVDs is not very popular, manufacturers should make better recorders if they sell them at all.
The unit comes with an obsolete tuner, but not a problem if you have cable.

Sylvania HDRV200F
This is a great product. I had some issues with hooking it up but that was me not the product. The remote is a little confusing lots of buttons but after awhile I was able to figure it out. The directions are confusing and make it really hard to understand so I just sort of wing it.
