Pioneer DVR-810H DVD Recorder/Player: Do Not Even Think of Purchasing Unless....

byhwz1 Feb 1, 2004
72 Helpfuls 73 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Easy to use, combine Tivo and DVD, no fees, good picture and sound
Cons Cannot remove commercials, expensive
Recommended it? Yes

We have seen a lot of things combined in the past few years. Cell phones and cameras, for instance. Or PDA's and cell phones. Cameras and video recorders. It is a wonder that it took so long for a company to capitalize on the combination of a DVD player/recorder and a Tivo- like machine.

Pioneer DVR-810H DVD Recorder / Player with TiVo - If you can live with limitations

bydkozin Jul 15, 2004
34 Helpfuls 35 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Picture quality in Fine and SP modes, DVD playback quality, TiVo convenience
Cons No DVD+RW, DVD+R or DVD-RAM recording, no editing, no FireWire, price
Recommended it? Yes

I have to immediately note that the Pioneer DVR-810H will not let you record your camcorder footage directly to DVD and it will not let you record from other sources directly to DVD either. What you can do, however, is record from the hard drive, which can store programs (off the air or from other... Read full review »

Sony DVP-SR500H - A Middle of the Road DVD Player

Pros Inexpensive, seemingly good quality
Cons Minimal buttons on unit
Recommended it? Yes

Our old DVD players has been on its way out for some time. It would play the first DVD of the day but would then refuse to load another disc for the rest of the day. I finally broke down and bought the Sony DVP-SR500H.

Quality Look is Misleading

bydanibe Mar 26, 2011
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Metal casing. Quality look. 1 year warranty.
Cons Unreliable exactly like other cheap DVDs. Limited to 480p via component connectors.
Recommended it? No

I chose the Sony DVP-SR500H ($60) over the Memorex MVD2047 because I believed that Sony brand will provide me with at least 1 year of service vs. the few months that is the "typical standard" nowadays with cheap DVD players. The Sony costs 50% more but it's really only $20 more.
