Exactly what I needed., July 14, 2007

I wanted to tape TV shows and then put them on a DVD to save and share, also wanted to be able to cut out the commercials.

I also wanted to be able to share the shows without knowing or caring what kind of DVD +/- or whatever a friend’s machine could play.

This machine does it all. I can record on tape or disk, easily copy from tape to disk or disk to tape. I can cut out the commercials and make the disk readable by any machine.

The instruction book isn’t the best, it is a bit confusing, but once I started using the machine I really didn’t need the instructions very much.

I did a lot of research on different brands on Amazon and elsewhere before choosing this machine. The features and price were exactly what I wanted and I’ve been very pleased with it.

Magnavox ZV420MW8 DVD/VCR Combo, March 30, 2009

I’ve always used Sony products BUT over the past few years have become disillusioned with their products. When my Sony combo unit died suddenly, I began to research other DVD/VCR combos and based on several Amazon reviews, decided to give the Magnavox ZV420MW8 a try. I’m not disappointed. Initially, I had to give customer service a call to resolve a problem of my own misunderstanding concerning hook up to my cable box. They could not have been more generous in offering the help I needed, and from then on, set-up and operation of the unit was a breeze. The unit’s functionality is intuitive, illustrated simply and concise in the owner’s manual. (Unlike my previous Sony products, which required a degree from MIT for set up and operation, or at best an interpreter for the complicated manual they provided.) Perhaps the only fault regarding the Magnavox DVD/VCR combo I would list here is the remote control unit – the buttons are tiny. I ended up using a felt marker to circle the most important buttons for easier access.

We tried out all the features last evening, and found the unit performs exceptionally well.
