I returned this product because of how it seemed to interface with my system. I have since learned this is an industry wide change.

I wanted to get my old VHS home movies onto DVD before the tapes rotted away to nothing, so I purchased this Sylvania recorder. I've filled up 25 Verbatim 16x DVD-R's now, and so far I'm very satisfied with this unit. The only complaint I have is that it's kind of tricky to get the tracking adjusted satisfactorily. You have to play your VHS tape for a few minutes and work with the two tracking buttons on the front of the machine until you're sure all the static lines are gone. Then push rewind to go back to the start of the tape without pressing stop (if you do, the tracking will be messed up again). Then pause the tape and insert your DVD-R (DVD+R's work too, although the instruction manual doesn't mention them), choose the DVD record speed (the 120-minute SP mode provides good results) and press the DUBBING button. After the recording's done, you need to use the setup menu and finalize the disc so it can be played on a standard DVD player.
Thanks to the Sylvania ZV420SL8, my old videos are now preserved forever on discs. That alone makes this unit worth its weight in gold. Be forewarned, however, that it will NOT allow you to transfer licensed VHS movie tapes to DVD.

Beware of this and other brands on this page.
In the past year i have purchased or received as a present, Three (3) of these devices. ALL - each and every one lasted just beyond the 90 day waranty and my requests for assistance to the manufactures went unanswered.
I located the parent co. for the above and behold...they are the parents of many brands making these same devices and the parent co. of my three devices.They too, have not responded to request 2 months ago.
FUNAI is the parent of the following and all their brands (listed below) come from the same enginers and pile.
Brands: Sylvania....Seyesphere....Emerson....Adventurer....Durobrand....Ero....Magnavox.... Murokai and under the parents name.....FUNAI
Good luck, buy one that will work for more than 91 days.JVC DRMV99B DVD Video Recorder&VHS Combo with Built-In ATSC Tuner
