Sony SLVD570H DVD VCR Combo Player with HDMI

We love only having one extra video player. This set works well and DVD images are spectacular. If even makes original Scooby-Doo videos crystal clear on our 50" Plasma. When switching to the HDMI signal there are times you have to turn the set off and then back on but from my research this is normal for HDMI signals. Read more

Now I can play my DVD collection and old VHS I still have Read more

I really did not do much homework before buying this item, but had a new HDTV and needed a new HD DVD to go with it. It was so easy to hook up. We just used the cord that came with it and movies are perfect. Be sure to study manual and play with Cinema settings (recommended). You can leave it on standard, but some movies look a tad better with the Cinema, etc. VCR recordings are not bad either. You can still watch a DVD while recording a VHS same as 2 seperate components. I would have given 5 stars except for one thing,,,,,Dvd open/close seems like it takes forever......actually it doesn't, but not used to a delay. Hope this helps someone Read more

The vcr door stuck and tapes were hard to get out on the unit I revived that is why I returned it. Other then that the unit worked ok. Read more

Unlike prior Sony DVD/VCR player this is not high def. NO HDMI capability. Also, rebuilt unit must have been slapped together in a hurry, as metal hinge at upper right corner is not flush; sticks up and out from rest of casing. First thing noticed when taking it out of the box. Read more

I have never had any problems with this unit. It loads fast, has a great picture on my Toshiba 40" Narrow Bezzel LCD, and is easy to use. Read more

This unit has a High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) that allows the user to interface with a video monitor or TV with an HDMI input. HDMI uses a single cable to transfer an uncompressed pure digital A/V signal. This unit also supports Component, Composite, S-Video and RF interfaces which makes it virtually compatible with any TV. This is incredible. It also plays standard DVDs, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, and DVD+RW, Audio CDs, VCD/SVCD, CD-R/RW discs with MP3 music or JPEG picture files. The VCR side features time recording in SP or EP speeds. It also plays back tapes recorded in SP, LP and EP speeds and will also play back S-VHS tapes in quasi S-VHS mode. This unit utilizes four 19-micron video heads which optimize EP recording. It also has a very fast flash rewind. The DVD side does not have picture zoom but that is of little consequence because this player is designed for use with HD monitors. This is one of the best DVD-VHS Combination Units I have ever seen.
