I bought one of these for not much over $50, planning to use it primarily to copy some old VHS tapes to DVD without a lot of bother. I’m puzzled by the negative reviews; the GX255 I got was easy to hook up and works perfectly well. As noted, it will NOT copy some copy-protected material–but I didn’t buy it for that. For copying old taped material to DVD, and for occasionally recording non-protected material, it seems to work perfectly well. I’m perfectly pleased with the GX255.

I thought I would be getting a Sony DVD recorder similar to the ones I have purchased in the past. First, you cannot record from a premium movie channel because these are blocked—hackers can easily bypass this feature. Ridiculous. Also, there is no record equalizer on this unit. This is a feature I liked on Sony’s older models. I would not recommend this unit and will probably return it. I have four other Sony recorders that are wonderful. This one is a total lemon.

We bought this thinking we could finally get our video camera tapes recorded. Well, this is a nightmare to use, slow, un user friendly and a waste of money! We have not been able to record anything. Also, just the basic playing of a DVD is horrible. I can watch a movie in the morning, and have the DVD player tell me in the afternoon that the movie is not playable or recordable. Then 2 days later…works again???? Of course we lost the receipt so we are stuck with something we can’t even give away! Save your money!!!!
