DMR-ES35VS DVD Recorder / VCR Combo with DV Input

This is the exact same one that I have had that finally stopped working after 25 years. I flipped when I found this on Amazon, I was surprised that I found the same one. It works great plays dvds and vhs tapes perfectly.

Works as advertised.

If you want to move old VHS tapes to DVDs, this unit does it very well. Once converted to DVD, the quality is equal or better to the VHS it came from. The labeling, creating menus, and editing features are average at best, but once on DVD it is easy to move to your PC for editing and re-authoring. If all you really care about is moving the "content" from VHS to DVD. Get this unit.

Bought this for my father. His birthday is tomorrow. He has about 400+ VHS tapes he's been wanting to convert. We set it up yesterday and it was a total disaster. The remote works to play but we only found that after several batteries because the remote DOES NOT work to turn the player on and off. It wouldnt play any videos burned on DVDs Took a long load commercial DVDs. Waiting for it to load reminded of the days of dial up internet service. We gave up after 2 minutes. One video finally showed a menu but when you click "play" on the machine or remote, it doesn't. The VHS side doesnt seem to work either. Very disappointed this was promoted as refurbished. Clearly, noone checked this machine. Returning it and desperately searching for a new gift for Dad. :-(

I made DVD from VHS movies and I really like. I read the manual the night before and I misplaced it. Trial by error and I managed to operate the machine to record the DVD's from the VHS. I really like the machine. Maybe I can order the manual.

My wife is pleased with the unit's performance. She uses it on a daily basics. However there is a bad association with the handling of the payment for the unit.It is suspected that a leak occurred during the payment process that allowed my credit card information to be fraudulently used outside of the channels for a number of hotel and other charges to appear on my statement after this account was credited to my statement. This is currently under investigation. Time will tell. I will no longer be using this area for purchases. Do you have any response?

Bought this used 10 days ago through Amazon. I was worried as it was marked "refurbished". But my previous DVD recorder was ten years old one and just stopped working. So I wanted the similar model even though they don't seem to make these anymore. NEGATIVE: It has a few scratches and was delivered days later than supposed. POSITIVE: plays both DVD and VHS perfectly. It records clear and flawless. I'm so glad I made this purchase.

Item doesn't work. Get error message "F60." Somebody please tell me what that means!!
