Our family has always been very satisfied with Sony products and this one seems to be no exception. The ease of setting it up and then to use, went very quickly and smoothly. I really had no problems to have it replace our older VCR recorder. We plan on using it alot to transfer our home videos to DVD format to preserve them.
