Zenith XBR413 DVD Player Recorder and VCR Combo

The XBR413 arrived in like-new condition. The machine works very well. I recommend this device for transferring videotapes to DVDs. It came with a universal remote control, which worked correctly without any setup. There was one problem: The remote control lacked the function for entering the setup menu (which provides essential functionality like finalizing DVDs so that they can be played on other devices). I reported this problem to the seller (AZ-EmporiumOnline, through Amazon) on Saturday afternoon. Later that evening, the seller responded with an apology and an offer to order another remote control, which he told me how to find on Amazon. I reviewed the details and the image, and informed the seller on Sunday that the device appears to be a valid replacement. On Sunday, the seller ordered the device, which arrived on Wednesday. It is a replacement for the original XBR413 remote control, and provides all functionality. I am completely satisfied with the product and the seller. This demonstrates the seller's real commitment to customer satisfaction. The product matched, in every way, the description and specifications (condition, contents) that appeared on Amazon. When there was a problem, the seller immediately responded with a solution, which fully resolved the issue. Read more

We had tons of old home videos which were deteriorating rapidly. After doing a lot of research, we bought the Zenith XBR413. It is fairly easy to use and the end product is great. The DVD's we have produced play beautifully on our other DVD players AND the computer. Just make sure you use the right DVD media as stated in the product specs. It also works in reverse, copying your homemade DVD's to videotape for those family members that do not have access to a DVD player. My only complaint is that the process of adding a title to the DVD takes a little time as it is done with the assistance of your remote by selecting the letters for your title from the onscreen alphabet.

I bought this machine and thrilled with it but you MUST have the remote to be able to use the SETUP menu in order to finalize the DVDs. I sent off for one that went with this but it is not the one shown in the manual that I downloaded. I can get into the SETUP MENU but can not > over into the sub-menu. but it does record both media fine Read more
