VHS to DVD, no problem

Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2011

Verified Purchase

So, you have a bunch of old VHS tapes (Disney videos for instance). You know they won't last forever and they're not out in DVD so you want to make backup copies (which is legal fair-use under copyright law). Unfortunately, there is a little problem... Macrovision or copyguard. There are any number of articles on the web explaining exactly how it works so I won't cover it here. Suffice it to say that, on most new equipment, you can't copy these VHS tapes to VHS or DVD. This little item fixes that problem. Simply connect it on the video line (usually the yellow RCA connector) between your VHS player and your VHS or DVD recorder, turn it on, and away you go.

Now, as you've probably read in one of the other reviews, there have been problems with the quality control at the factory where these are made. When my unit arrived it rattled ominously. I opened the box (4 small screws that were installed by someone with 42 inch biceps), pulled the battery (which was dead), checked the circuit board for damage (none), replaced the battery, and put the box back together. Et voila! I now have backups of my favorite out-of-print VHS tapes.

Good unit, misleading instructions

Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2016

Verified Purchase

The unit does a good job of refurbishing and improving the video signal to allow video tapes to be copied to DVD that were having problems. Also it is well made with a metal case. For that it gets 5 stars. However, I deducted a star because the shipping is about 1/2 the price of the product with inadequate hint that Amazon Prime did not cover it, and the directions were misleading and wasted my time. Regarding the directions, I first looked at the jacks on the device, and saw a jack for a 9v DC power supply. However, no AC/DC power adapter was included. I checked the documentation. Installation Step #1 says to plug the plug of the AC/DC adapter to "Power Supply" input at the back of the device and plug the adapter to the wall AC outlet. This sent me on a quest for a 9v adapter. I had 12v and 5v and 6v but not 9v. Finally I noticed writing on the unit that said to open it to replace the battery. I opened the unit, and it had a 9v battery installed. The unit ended up working just fine right out of the box.

Simple and functional

Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2013

Verified Purchase

The product works as described. I did note have a few concerns, as follows.

The product arrived with a 9v battery installed; however, this battery proved to be dead. After replacing the battery with a new one, it worked fine. Note, I needed to fetch a properly-sized "Pozidriv" bit in order to loosen the four cover mounting screws; they were so tight that a normal Phillips bit just slipped.

The instruction sheet claims a 2000-hour battery life. There is no on/off switch so it's quite possible that this means 2000 hours of wall-clock time per installed battery. Perhaps the stabilizer circuit has a "stand-by" mode though that would be somewhat surprising to me. I will disconnect the battery when storing the unit.

The unit has a 9v DC input jack, however the polarity is the reverse of the usual. That is, this DC input calls for negative on the center conductor (like the way-old Sony convention before they switched to the positive-center convention used by most other manufacturers). Perhaps this reflects the aged design pedigree of this unit. In any case, please take note.

works after changing battery

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2013

Verified Purchase

I got this about 13 months ago and tried it with mixed success. I suspect when it 'worked' I was copying a VHS tape that would have copied without using a stabilizer. I threw it in a box of stuff.

Then about a week ago I read other customer reviews and in particular those by "cordwainer" and learned that there had been a lot of bad merchandise and apparently varying design details. In particular bad and loose batteries were mentioned. I shook mine gently and heard no noise. So I opened it and found the battery wedged between a circuit board and the case and also glued to the case with a loop of sticky tape. I did not remove the circuit board to check for bad solder joints, etc. but it was quite neat from the top.

The battery, however, was probably dead. I say this because it was marked. "10-07" [1.5-4.5 yr old!?] and even though it was marked "TOSHIBA" it was a heavy duty rather than an alkaline battery. After putting in a new, FUJI alkaline battery, I tried it again.

I've now been able to copy two of two tapes, the first of which was uncopyable by the stabilizer as received.

I will update this review if this device fails to allow me to copy a tape in the future but it now seems that it was only needing a decent battery.

It works, but it is work to make it work.

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2017

Verified Purchase

It works. However, it was consuming one 9 volt battery every movie or two. I then purchased the Planet Waves 9v power adapter, Planet Waves 9V Power Adapter , which is another $10 dollars, and it works. However, it appears that after a 1 1/2 to 2 movies, the stabilizer stops working. I am not sure if it is overheating that is causing the malfunction. The box is not hot on the outside, but it stops working like when the 9v batteries would run out of juice. I get around this by keeping the power adapter unplugged when I am not using it, and only doing one movie per 1/2 day.

Works fine so far

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2014

Verified Purchase

I've only had this one day. I will update if anything changes in my review.

I was able to backup an old VHS movie that my DVD recorder refused to backup before. There was a noticeable reduction in picture quality with blurring, brightness, and contrast issues.

Based on other reviews, I popped it open and checked the battery and any internal component issues. The battery was fine (even though it is not an alkaline battery). Everything seemed fine inside.

I only gave it four stars because it came with a non-alkaline battery, you have to take it apart to replace the battery, it doesn't include a power supply (even though there is a jack to connect one), and picture quality reduction.
