3 Reviews for Sony RDR-VX450 - DVD Recorder & VCR Recorder Combi
Returned 3 units under warranty in one month - now on number 4 - 21 Mar 2008

The 3 returned units either did not record on a DVD+R or did not play a VCR properly: the VCR picture kept breaking up.
The unit I have now seems to work. However I cannot recommend this model for obvious reasons.

I bought this unit when my AIWA VCR died. I want to be able to transfer mini-DV to DVD, record onto DVD from TV and play my video collection.
First off, the VCR playback quality is surprisingly poor. I just wouldn't use this unit to transfer a video to DVD - you might as well just buy the DVD second-hand. Also, the picture you see with video playback is the digitised image, so you get the combination of video distortion with digital distortion. I have also experienced the poor auto-tracking that the other user mentioned. So, this part is a major disappointment.
DVD recording from TV seems to be fine. However, one annoying thing is that it gives you multiple recording quality options, but doesn't tell you how much time you can record for using a particular quality. So you end up guessing. Secondly, when I record onto DVD-RW, I can't fast-forward or backward with the picture, sound or even timer. You just have to guess when to press play and see where it drops you back. Haven't yet tried transferring from mini-DV.
In summary, I'm a bit disappointed by this unit. I'm seriously considering buying a second-hand VCR to watch my videos on, which kind of defeats the object of buying it in the first place.

...there is something peculiar about the VCR. I can record to it OK. It will play video tapes that I have previously made on a JVC recorder, but it is rather temperamental about playing some commercially-made video tapes. It fails to track these particular tapes properly and the picture keeps breaking-up. There doesn't however seem to be a problem with the DVD Recorder.
