Magnavox Dvd Vhs Recorder Reviews
Posted : adminOn 4/8/2018Hi All, I'm in the market for a DVD Recorder for dubbing VHS tapes for my mom. Nothing too fancy, but since I dont know what to look for I am hoping to be pointed in the right direction. Looking for a ~$200 Dvd recorder that will convert VHS. Are there any models to stay away from?
Any features I should definitely look for? At the $200 price ranges is DL recording a pipe dream? Same with HDD? Two that I have found are Magnavox ZV427MG9 Toshiba DVR620 Can anyone offer a little advice to me Thanks as always.

You do need to understand that if your VHS tapes have any tracking issues or you are recording old commercial tapes and not telling us that that's your real goal that the DVD recorder may refuse to record them. In that case you will also have to buy a TBC to put between the VCR and DVD recorder.
Do NOT under any circumstances buy a VCR/DVD recorder combo. You need separate units for the best results. We've got a member who's something of an expert on the Magnavox recorders. Hopefully he will join in before long. By the way, many DVD recorders do not record to DL media. If you find one that does, ONLY buy Verbatim DL discs. I cannot emphasize that enough.
Until my recent purchase of an old VCR in great condition that has a built-in TBC, I've never owned or needed a TCB. On the other hand I would NEVER buy a 'combo unit'.
My friend back home in the states just bought a combo though.a Toshiba DVR620.and has successfully copied some of his tapes to DVD. They look VERY nice and the audio is excellent(he used the BEST quality settings on the unit because his clips were short).
He is quite 'techno-challenged' and he managed to record the clips on his own(with my suggestions). If it is home movies she is looking to record.be warned that most copy houses back then jammed WAY TOO MANY hours onto those tapes and that will cause problems.no doubt about it. Hech54, thanks for the info on the Toshiba, That model is available at Walmart. I understand no one likes the combo units but at least you actually gave me a little insight on them.thank you Well, yes, I understand the situation. But the word 'watchable' is relative.
Among many ways to convert VHS to DVD, direct recording to DVD in combo units is among the very worst. As you say, it's the most convenient way. But if you find you're quite dissatisfied with the results -- which is likely -- and you decide you want to archive VHS that you value, you might want to try a better method later. Don't throw away the tapes. You'd be shocked at how many posts show up here by people who ditched their tapes and had a change of heart about which nothing could be done.
Bad DVD transfers are irreparable, and not even a pro shop can work with them. I'll also chime in on the almost all combos are crap bandwagon. The only exceptions might be a few old Panasonics and maybe JVC or two. I'd really steer away from the Magnavox and only slightly less from the Toshiba. I have read from one guy on AVS who really liked his Toshiba combo(I think his/her? Name was Microlady).
Again he/she really liked the Toshiba but most people as Jman98 said wish they hadn't spend the money and get quite frustrated. Even though you say your tapes are not commercial, many times the cheap combos read glitches as CP and will stop the recording. As others have said most all combos(except a few old Panasonics) will NOT let you install a filter or TBC between the two sections(VHS/DVDR) which is one big reason to stick to separates. Your best bet would be something like a Magnavox w/HDD, decent VCR and possibly a filter/TBC.
Unfortunately that route may not be feasible for a small amount of tapes unless you recoup some of your money by selling the items after your job is done. I'd think everything should hold their value pretty well and at least in my area the above items usually don't last too long on Craigslist if discounted from the purchase price. Quxote, you really need to be more specific about what the heck is going on between you, your mother, and these tapes if we're to give you any useful advice. I mean, if you know how to do captures to your PC, and you've already got the hardware, and you've already been thru the process- why are you not simply doing it for her? Why burden her with a task she's clearly clueless about? If we're talking less than 30 tapes here, then seriously dude, man up and just do it for her yourself even if you think its tedious work and really don't want to be bothered. Trust me on this, its a lot less bother than having her call you 20 times a day to hold her hand, and then blame you for the whole mess when she gives up in disgust a couple weeks after you waste $200 for a unit that baffles her.
