FYI, I did the 8x upgrade and the unit became flakier. So one time it handled 8x discs and the next no. So it went from very stable to hit or miss. Redid the update and the same problem.
2x RW discs work ok in it and can be read, edited, and formatted in my newer recorder that handles 16x discs.

I too need the upgrade for my Sylvania SRDV495. Could someone please
send me the upgrade too or send me a link to let me know where to
download if from. THANK YOU!

This unit is too old and too basic to handle 16x speed. However, there is a firmware update for this model DVD/VCR to record on 8x.
All you have to do is call the toll-free number in your manual and request it. They will send you an update disc.
Here is the basic procedure after you receive the update disc:
1. Turn on your TV and your combo unit. The tray should be closed. The unit must be in DVD mode.
2. Quickly press the sequence CM Skip, 6, 5, 4 (This will switch it into firmware update mode. The tray will eject automatically.)
3. Insert the disc and push the tray back in.
4. The update will begin. It will take approx. 2-3 minutes. It will tell you when it is complete and eject the tray.
5. When it is done, remove the disc, but DO NOT close the tray. It will go back in later. Turn the power off.
6. Wait a few minutes and when the tray goes back in wait about another 10 seconds and then you may turn the unit back on.
Firmware update procedure is now completed.
