it does everything it has advertised I am pleased with the user-friendly interface
Since I read that Funai is the last company to manufacture VCRs, and will soon stop production permanently, I decided to splurge on a DVD recorder/VCR combo...so far. it does everything it has advertised
I am pleased with the user-friendly interface..
IMPORTANT!!! You MUST use a DVD-R or DVD-RW disk for recording... and there is NO TV tuner (I can hook this up to my cable box...)
Very good for "dubbing" from VHS to DVD or DVD to VHS.

Probably the best combo unit I've ever had, and the HDMI port is a nice addition as well.
I don't know how much longer these combo units will get made, but hopefully this will be my last one.The HDMI port was my main reason for getting it. I'm very impressed with it, the videos have very good quality and the disc works pretty well so far too! Yes, I have a blu-ray player, but this unit is a back up for older formats. If Funai ever goes out of business, I'm not sure why, good quality and not too pricy, thanks, Amazon!

good easy one button operation and I don't have to watch it if I just want to dub the entire vhs tape to the dvd
So far I have only used it to transfer my vhs tapes to a dvd. The instructions are dumb it says to play and pause and hit dubbing key but I just insert the vhs tape and the dvd and then once they are both loaded I press the dubbing key on the machine and then it flashes on the screen and starts dubbing the tape while I watch it on the screen so it takes just as long to dub the tape than it does to watch it normally. I just thought it would dub at a faster speed

Works reliably, clear manual
This unit performs as advertised and has held up for a few months now. The manual is fairly well written which is an advantage because the many functions this unit is capable of need some explaining. I transfer VHS to DVD and it has been flawless so far.

Grease Near The Recording Drum-Head
It could have been a 4-stars items. I gave it a 3-stars because after one week of recording, the recorded videos became wavy and washed-out. Upon opening the cover of this VCR/DVD, I found that there was a huge block of grease on the base of the recording drum and it was very close the moving recording heads area. Some of the grease might has already got on the coils of the moving heads. The video became better only after I removed that grease and cleaned that recording heads. That saved me the trouble of returning it back to the seller.

Great dubbing quality VHS to DVD
The quality of the VCR to DVD dubbing is very good. With multiple recording modes you can balance your needs for quality over recording time per disc. My only complaint so far is how clumsy the menu is to control with the remote, specifically titling chapters and such. The remote just isn't set up for entering alphanumeric information. A keyboard on the GUI would have been an easy alternative to make it super easy, but no.
The bottom line is that you can make top quality dubbings from VHS to DVD, but be prepared to have the titles of your chapters being data: example: (XP/VCR/11/22/15 01:43:22 PM)

Great way to get your old VHS tapes onto DVD while you still can!
Executive summary. This works as advertised and is a great way to get your old VHS and VHS-C tapes converted to DVD, before they self destruct from age. And one of my really old VHS tapes did, in fact, break, after I had copied it to DVD and was rewinding it. Close call.
Background. Like many people, I imagine, I left VHS behind a long time ago. However, before that, our household accumulated quite a few home videos--dance recitals, vacation trips, special events. Most were on VHS-C, usable in a regular VCR with an adapter. Some were actually full size VHS tapes. Others were VHS-C converted and edited onto standard VHS tapes. A few years ago I bought a Roxio USB capture device for connecting standard RCA outputs or S-Video to a computer. In conjunction with a video editor, those tapes could be converted to digital, then to DVD or other media. I tried one with OK results but then got distracted by other things. When I got back again two weeks ago, to my surprise, Windows 8.1 did not recognize the Roxio converter, even with the "latest" driver from Roxio. Then I discovered that my old JVC VCR had also given up after only 22 years. I looked at some local VHS-to-DVD services and saw I could get my home movies converted for $20-25 each. With 8 standard VHS cassettes and about a dozen VHS-C, that's $400-500.
Which brings me to the Funai. I don't know if I'll get the Roxio converter to work, so buying a new VCR for $75-100 is a gamble. Then appears Funai Combination VCR and DVD, and it will convert a VHS tape to DVD-R. $168 plus $12 or so for 50 Verbatim DVD-R's. Decent reviews, and the bad ones seem to be by people who didn't notice the lack of a TV tuner in the description.
Good. Fairly easy to understand the manual, although parts of it seem to refer to a different model. Once you get the system down, it is a quick and easy process to copy home VHS tapes to DVD-R. The manual says it will not copy protected copyrighted material. Since I have none, I couldn't test that. The machine has HDMI out making connection to a modern TV for playback easy. The TV I have it connected to has limited display options, so my old 4:3 aspect ratio video shows both VHS and DVD content stretched to 16:9, however, the DVD's created using "auto" aspect ratio play correctly on other TVs. The DVD's are 1080p, upsampled, according to the manual. Of course, with source material at 720x480SD, you can do only so much.
Bad. Not much. I never heard of Funai. Don't know about future service. HDMI or IEEE1394 inputs would have been nice for going from a modern camcorder or DSLR to DVD. In any case, I accomplished what I bought the recorder for in just a couple days, saving $250-300 in the process, so any additional use I get from it is a bonus.
Other. DVDs created on the recorder can be copied on a computer DVD drive. I made copies of our now-grown daughter's dance recitals for her. I wasn't even sure my computer's DVD burner would work with DVD-R, but it did quite nicely. The machine will also copy from DVD to VHS, although, I am really hard pressed to think of a reason to do that! All in all, this was a very good purchase. Maybe I'll advertise in my neighborhood: VHS tapes copied to DVD for $10 each.

Allowed me to copy my 8 hour tapes over to DVD
I used it to convert my old "clothing-optional" VHS movies over to DVD, then rip the DVDs to MP4 format for PC.
It did the job, my only gripe is that the interface is very crude and sometimes I found myself burning a frisbee because of the way it handles burning multiple VHS tapes to a DVD.
I had old 8 hour VHS tapes, and I found they don't take up a lot of space on a 4.7GB DVD. However, the player tries to burn the separate tapes as chapters and messes up the TOC each time. So I gave up and simply copied each 8 hour tape to it's own DVD and made peace with the fact that there was lots of space leftover.

Both worked fine - good picture
Tried 2 other items to transfer vhs directly to digital (computer). Both worked fine - good picture, good sound. Alas, the sound (both items) lagged the picture, and got worse as the tape progressed. Had extensive conversations online with one of the companies, tried multiple fixes - no positive results. And the directions were ridiculously complex. Gave up and bought this converter. Bought for the sole purpose of the conversion ("bi-directional dubbing"). Converting to DVDs. Instructions a bit confusing, but once I figured out the procedure is fairly straightforward. Most confusing was how to edit titles, but I eventually got it. Quality of picture and sound is good - and they go together! So far very happy with purchase. Still hope to upload to external hard drive - have tried it once, and it seemed to work, but waiting until all tapes converted to DVD to proceed further.

Good luck.
This is simple to use.
1.Pop in a blank DVD-R (make sure it is -R),
2.pop in the VHS tape you want to copy from (make sure it is rewond).
3. ON the remote select DVD, and then select "Rec Mode" - screen will show "Sp 2 hours"
4.On the remote select VCR and then select "D. Dubbing".
That's all your recording starts.
5. Once recording is complete, go setup, DVD menu, "Finalize".
All done !! Good luck.

56 this is a fair price and a good deal for what you get
Unit is just OK, I bought 2 of these "New" for $ 167.56 each back in May of 2015. Today to re-order one of these the price went way up, they now want $ 499.99 each. This I see as price gauging us, the customers. How can this have gone up $ 332.43 in unit price? At $ 167.56 this is a fair price and a good deal for what you get, however at $ 499.99 each it is not a good deal at all!

Happy so far
Item was delivered VERY quickly although I was a little disappointed by the way it was delivered. UPS delivery man didn't even ring bell or knock. Package was left on step, on a rainy day. If it wasn't for dog barking I have no idea how long it would have stayed out there. Also, there was no wrapping on the box so it was plain to see by anyone who passed by what the package was. Talk about asking for trouble!!
But, the item worked well, was fairly easy to set up. Was my second DVR purchased so I was somewhat knowledgeable as to how to make the connections. Have only had it one day now so hopefully it will continue to work well.
I had a previous one from another brand but one day it just stopped working although there had been a transformer blow up that day and perhaps that is what caused the problem. Power had gone on and off several times.

Funai: reliable, easy to use, inexpensive
The Funai Combination VCR-DVR is identical to my former Magnovox machine--the only difference is the name label. I enjoyed the Magnovox--reliable, easy to use--right up till the VCR heads were ruined by a dry-head cleaner. So I was happy to receive its twin, the Funai, which is performing just as well. Even better, the Funai cost $100 less!

Good idea to copy all your old tapes
Works very well for transferring tapes to Dvd. A good idea for someone who wants to copy all those old VHS tapes as well as 8MM tapes. You can copy from your camera and other video sources. It is a great value when you consider going to Walgreens or Costco to copy all those old tapes.
Costco and Walgreens charge $19.99 for one 2 hour tape, at that price it costs a small fortune to copy my 30 - 40 tapes. You can buy blank DVD's and DVD cases for a faction of the cost. Also I would be a little afraid of them losing my tapes that I can't replace.

Works great!
Love this, I can use it to play DVDs and tapes. I have some old exercise tapes that are my favorite workout and they aren't available on dvd, so I purchased this because the service at the store cost like $100 for the tapes I wanted to do. I figured I can buy this and I am able to do other tapes as well and can even make more copies if I want. I you-tubed a video on this to figure out the set up and how to record and it was really helpful

Funai is a fine mechine if you can read.
If you chose any CD/DVD Burner, be sure to really READ the instructions. I am semi experience and a little thing like using a BETTER brand of blanks can really through a wrench in the works. It states use DVD-R. I used that from stock I had and the disks would not play on my Blue Ray. I missed the part about better brand. Once I changed brands, much better.
Easy to operated but after burning DVD to DVD a little slow. If tape is one hour, the DVD copy will take about 1hr 10 min. Don't forget to FINALIZE your burn or it won't play on anything but the Funai.
Directions were well written, you just need to read them word for word. I can not compare it to any other as this is my first besides my video editor.

This was easy to set up and just following the instructions
I was concerned when I read some of the reviews. Also, we had an expensive DVD recorder years ago that was impossible to use. This was easy to set up and just following the instructions, it was easy to transfer one of our beloved family VHS tapes to DVD. Just spend a few minutes and read the instructions. I purchased it with the sole intent of transferring old VHS tapes to DVD and it works.

Decent DVD/VCR combo with limited capabilities
Plays DVDs and old VCRs and copies from VCR to DVD-RW effortlessly. But after playing with it for over 10 hours, still cannot connect it using a cable box as an external tuner and get any kind of proper picture (cable, VCR or DVD) on my 46" Samsung HD TV. So I can never record in either DVD or VCR mode off cable. FYI: It's advertised to work with a cable tuner.
I'll keep it, because my main interest is transferring old VCRs of the family to DVDs, and it's OK for watching DVD or VCR movies.

Funai ZV427FX4 VCR DVD combination Video recorder
So far, it arrived in the worst packaging I've ever seen yet. I rarely say anything negative, but I am hoping that this is going to work. Flimsy box, with paper on top and bottom, not even much of that.. None of that heavy foam stuff was used to protect it.. But I finally at least got it to play store bought videos.. As it stands, the way mine is set up with my tv, I have to choose the INPUT (AVI) from my TV before I turn the Funai on... Then it picks it up.. I'll be back to let u know how I make out. <smiles> lynda

Remote poorly designed
I use the device only to play videotapes and DVDs. The remote has poor human factoring. The pause button is tiny and off to the side among other tiny buttons. To resume playing, you cannot just hit pause again. You must hit the play button instead. The play and stop buttons are well located and of good size. Also, it is not clear what cables are needed until you read the instructions in the box. I was surprised that the additional cables to use advanced functions were not advertised with the device. Included cables allow playback of pre-recorded tapes and discs only.

I like it so far
the unit has features like my magnavox, but is far more advanced. It took awhile getting everything in and working. I had to buy non-formatted discs in order to record since mine were used on my old dvd recorder. The digital display on the face is great. All in all a good buy, but today is my first day. I've fed my cameras into it and I have a monitor out-so far so good. The erase feature is different, but just follow the book. Staples helped with the disc problem along with my knowledge.

Fantastic and easy way to convert VHS!
I struggled for years trying to determine the best way to get some old VHS tapes converted so we could watch them. I haven't owned a VCR in over 15 years. Various experiments ended in failure until I bought this thing! Don't let the brand name scare you, it's the same company that makes the brand name versions like Toshiba. And its better than the Toshiba one! True one button dubbing. I was able to record several DVD-Rs with perfection, converting half a dozen very old tapes. What did I convert? Front Line Assembly's Live Wired VHS, two belly dancing tapes for my wife, and three VHS tapes of professionally transferred home FILM footage from the 50s and 60s! Either none of these had copy protection, or this puppy ignores it! My wife saw her grandparent's movies for the first time (now long gone) and it really made her Christmas!

Great and does the job
This will be quite a long review. I once had this unit [badged as a Symphonic over 14 years ago] Symphonic and Funai are the same back then and still are. I am not sure if any of these items are still badged as a Symphonic unit but the Funai/Magnavox unit here is the same. So it was rather easy to use since it is identical to the older Symphonic unit I had 14 years ago. It indeed does burn DVD's from old VHS tapes. You have 5 or maybe 6 recording speeds from 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours and I think also 10 hours. Once you figure out how to dub video tapes to blank DVD disks, it's quite a breeze. It records in "real time", same length as the video tape is also is how long it will take to record/dub VHS tapes to blank DVD's. I have dubbed over 100 of my older homemade VHS videotapes onto blank DVD disks so far with no problems. You can also dub from DVD's to the 4-head stereo VHS VCR on this unit. It comes with a complete remote using 2 AA batteries. This DVD unit uses only DVD-R or DVD-RW for recording purposes, not the DVD+R/W version. You can play any DVD version however just fine with this unit. Tapes play well on the VCR with the usual video quality for a 4-head VCR. DVDs play very well in this unit. It does have 1 HDMI connection for TV or receiver plus the usual RCA and even S-Cable connection. I gave it 5 stars, easy to use, works well, looks good and basically does the job with no problems.
