Made a huge mistake with this unit as I played all VCR's--tried a DVD once and saw it did not work but I thought it was the hook-up so I never returned it. Now I want to play DVD's and the hook-up is correct but the picture is double and twisted. Discussed problem on-line with Sony and they told me it needed servicing. We hardly even used it all.It plays VCRs fine but not commercially produced DVDs. Totally worthless and not worth fixing.
