Cannot Play Disk on Other Players, even a SONY

Sony Multiformat DVD-R/-RW/+R/+R DL/+RW Recorder/VCR Combo with HD Upconversion

I have now been trying for 24 hours to produce my first VHS tape to DVD transfer. I was FINALLY able to get the transfer to work (Sony's instructions are less than complete) and then completed the tedious task of typing in each chapter title using the point-and-select process using the remote and then after FINALIZING per Sony's instructions so that the DVD would play on other players discovered that it would NOT play on either my other Sony player or my other Toshiba player making the entire process a complete waste of time and money! It should NOT be this difficult to perform this simple task!

Several problems recording on DVDs

Sony Multiformat DVD-R/-RW/+R/+R DL/+RW Recorder/VCR Combo with HD Upconversion

I have owned this product for 24 hours and cannot get it to properly record from a Cable settop box. My first attempt resulted in 10 seconds of video and a couple hours of audio. Discussed with Sony support but no resolution. Next two attempt using the timer resulted in 25 minutes of recorded audio and video, then the recorder powered off and failed to complete the program as specified. Have not been able to contact customer support since then.

Finally, VHS through HDMI

Finally, a DVD Recorder and VHS combination unit that allows you to view DVD and your old VHS through your HDMI connection. That's right, you read that correctly. One of the biggest drawbacks of earlier upscaling machines from a variety of manufacturers was that you STILL had to use primitive S or RCA cables to output VHS images onto your HDTV.

Like many folks, I still have a large collection of movies on VHS (for some films, it remains the only version in print), but I was not going to buy another VCR unless I could really view them on my Samsung HDTV. Some VCRs connect with component cables, but cost as much (if not more) than this combo unit, which is so feature laden that I'm glad I waited.

The upconversion is very impressive so far for both DVD and factory VHS releases (lets face it, grainy home recorded VHS copies of TV programs will never look sharp at 1080p, so keep that in mind) and the controls are no more complicated than the average machine (which, may in itself be a problem
