Good points:
Really easy to use. Simple methodical user menus. Makes top quality DVD's. So far have not had a single person who's said the DVD's won't play on their player so seems 100% compatability
Bad points:
When previewing DVD a F-Fwd option would have been really useful.

It does everything that it says on the box!! Once one has read the instruction manual, the equipment was very easy to set up and use, most of the operations are automatic and the picture quality is excellent.

Good points:
I use mine to record directly off my camera to give me an instant DVD. I film for a league football club and the coaching staff require a DVD of the game as soon as it is over. This Sony recorder is small, easy to use and I can check that it is recording during the game. Perfect! In the past I have used a domestic recorder that is big and bulky, and if the feed lead gets pulled out all I had at the end of the game was a blank disc. Also because of the Sony's small size it is very easy to carry to away games.
Bad points:
Pitty it has not got an s video input and there is no video output available.

John, London Professional videographer

Score 10.0/10
Good points:
Superb mini dvd player that will work with VCR, DVR, Camcorder, SD and CF cards for easy movie and picture files transfer to DVD. Small, lightweight and simple to use makes this an excellent purchase to transfer movies and pictures without the need for a computer.
Bad points:
No cable supplied with the unit to connect to a VCR/DVR and no option to purchase one with the unit. A very stupid decision to not sell this cable as an additional extra as the unit cannot connect to a VCR or DVR without it!

    1. Hi I have only used this machine to copy from my Sony camcorder to DVD of which is so easy to do & does a great job
      But if you want to copy your old VHS tapes to DVD using this machine I'm not sure if you can do this here is a link to Sony support

      http://support.sony-europe.com/main/main.aspx?l=en

      They are very good & I'm sure they will give you the info you want
      But before I found out about the Sony copier I was using a machine I bought from MAPLIN it has a VHS player on one side & on the other side it has a DVD recorder which is a so easy to use
      I have put all my old VHS tapes on to DVD plus other peoples old VHS tapes using it
      I hope this info was helpful if I had to rate this Sony VRD-MC6 I would give it a 9 out of 10
      Regards

  4. I have been using this DVD SonyMulti-DVD Records DVD Recorder for some time and am very pleased with it. I have a question. Currently I am starting and stopping the device and copying materials as time is available for me. Is that ok to do? I noticed that every time I turn it on; I do get a new time display. I want to make sure I am not going round and round and losing previous copied data? Can you advise if s it is ok to stop, start and actully stop the device and continue on the next day or so? Thank You

    1. Sorry this I have not tried but I would think
      Not as it does not show on the screen
      Options I only wanted mine for
      Photos when I was on holiday in China
      So I can take this with me and copy to disc
      But if I remember rightly my old one MC5
      Did as I think when I connected it to the TV
      It came on the screen but as I no longer
      Have my old one sorry cannot test again
      For you john

  7. Can you play pre-recorded DVDs on this machine, directly plugged into a TV?

    In other words, is it a DVD player as well as recorder?

    Rgds
    Dan

    Dan asked on
    1. Yes I'm certain you can do because you can use a TV when you plug in your camcorder to edit your movie
      regards Steve
      Stephen replied on
       
    2. This I have not tried as I only use mine for photos
      And my camcorder
