Editorial Review: Product Description: Sony's worldwide reputation for creating unique, attractive, high-quality, advanced technology products rests on a long line of innovations embraced by people from all walks of life. With a diverse product lineup serving a variety of lifestyles and industries, Sony continuously strives to introduce new products and technologies to meet changing market needs.PRODUCT FEATURES:Fast/Slow Playback with Sound;TV Virtual Surround;Coaxial/Optical Digital Output;Component/S-Video Output;Progressive Output (480p). Amazon.com Product Description: Sony's silver SLV-D360P DVD/VCR combination lets you enjoy your DVDs, VHS videos, and your CD-based digital media files right in the comfort of your living room or bedroom. The deck handles just about any conceivable media format, from VHS and S-VHS tapes (which it renders at standard VHS resolution) to DVD-Video, DVD-R/RW, and DVD+R/RW--including CPRM-protected programming (Content Protection for Recordable Media). It will even spin your homemade MP3 CDs and JPEG picture CDs (including Kodak Picture CD). Whether you already own an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the SLV-D360P can deliver the full potential of your DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. Other DVD features include instant replay, picture zoom, and parental lock. The VCR section offers 1-month, 8-event advance programming and commercial skip. Your camcorder or gaming console plugs right into the front panel for hassle-free connections. Its 4-head design ensures smooth slow-motion play (forward and reverse) and clear still-frame images, and with hi-fi sound the unit records and plays back stereo audio tracks. State-of-the-art, 19-micron video heads deliver the clearest possible picture when recording or viewing in EP (extended-play) mode. Connections with combo units are often inconvenient, forcing you to use separate video hookups for each section (DVD, VCR), a problem for some TVs. This player has it figured out: a single RF or composite-video connection to a television will display either the DVD or the VCR signal, depending on which format you're viewing. If you want to view DVDs in S-video or in component-video (either interlaced or progressive-scan), you will need to use 2 inputs, however, as the device will not upconvert the signal from the VCR to either of those higher-resolution formats. It's a different deal for audio: you can listen through a single set of stereo analog-audio cables for each component (one is supplied), or--if you want to enjoy DVDs in discrete 5.1-channel surround sound--you can send the DVD's audio to a compatible audio/video receiver and a multichannel speaker system through a digital-audio interconnect (either optical or coaxial, not supplied). The unit also comes with an RF cable that will transmit VHS/DVD audio and video to your TV, a multi-lingual onscreen display (English, Spanish, French), and an illuminated DVD/VCR remote control that also operates most brands of TV. What's in the Box DVD/VCR combo, Remote Commander remote control, remote batteries, a user's manual, an RF coaxial video cable, and warranty information. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Overall a well made productI have owned this unit for close to 2 years and have been mostly satisfied with it. I had to return the first one I had after just a week or so as the VCR would start to loose tracking after an hour or so. The replacement works much better, however I notice some excessive noise from some tapes (usually ones recorded on other VCR's). I have recorded hundreds of hours of TV shows and it works wonderfully and is pretty easy to set up if you consult with the manual first. I really like the VCR plus ... Read More Rating:  - Slow, can't read discs playable in a $50 cheap unitI bought this unit to replace one of Sony's first DVD players, old enough to have a DIVX phone jack. I wanted to consolidate the VCR space and get something that would load discs faster; one out of two ain't bad. This thing loads discs slower than a 5-6-year-old Sony DVD player, slower than a 'cheaper' brand competitor, and can't play many discs that other units & computers can. I still love my Bravia LCD, but the next media player that gets plugged into it sure isn't gonna be a Sony. Rating: - Very frustrating.This product seemed to be a very good for us feature wise. But, basic usage of this item can be very frustrating. Here are a few reasons: 1) Loading of CD's and DVD's seems to take forever. 2) Hitting 'next' button had very long lag between starting to go to the next item, and it getting to the next item. 3) The VHS player has tracking issues with many tapes (even new ones out of the box). Making viewing impossible. 4) Hitting eject, and many other buttons, seem to have a huge ... Read More Rating:  - Throwing it out the windowWe were sucked in by the brand name and great price but have had problems with this "Sony" from day one. All of the buttons have slow response times. For example, it takes forever to eject a disk. And when you're playing a CD, it takes forever to advance from one track to the next. The VCR has tracking issues with every tape we own--tapes that work fine on other VCR players. And when you're playing a tape and you press rewind to go back to something you missed, it stops and goes to a blue ... Read More Rating: - It is what it is...I bought this for our church, as a companion to a new video projector. It's ok, but the VCR is pretty sad: it has a hard time with some older tapes that play just fine in a $40 no-name VCR. The DVD player does a decent enough job, but it's nothing special. One really stupid thing, mentioned in another review, is that the VCR and DVD sections don't share the S-Video output, so I have to run two separate connections to the TV. Dumb. Isn't that why you buy a combo deck in the first place? ... Read More |
