A Solid Bargain

Date of Review:  Jan 29, 2005
The Bottom Line: Noisy and big, but well-built and great quality. Definitely worth a look when it's on sale cheap. Significant internal ingress problem reduces overall rating by one star.
Review: UPDATE! - Significant problem found

Several weeks ago, I now have a cable channel on 3 (which before was scrambled HBO). I have found that the built-in tuner shows SEVERE ingress on channel three, despite absolutely no interference...

So far, so good.

Date of Review:  Apr 19, 2004
The Bottom Line: It's practical for a money-saving consumer that wants to have the best of both machines.
Review: This DVD/VCR combo is a dream come true for me, I needed both in my living room and this unit takes up the same amount of space the VCR I used to have took up, give or take half an inch. The wiring part was a little tricky. I still can't manage to...

Overall Quality is Great, Can't Complain

Date of Review:  Dec 14, 2005
Review: Very inexpensive purchase from ebay.com, no major problems other than the DVD audio being a little lower than the VCR audio. Size is nice, functionable, stylish. Remote control is nice, some of the buttons are small, the middle round control is kind...

Review: I bought this piece of equipment to replace a separate VCR recorder and DVD player that had quit working. After using the DVD player to watch 3 movies it quit working. The VCR however, continued to work. It had just passed the warranty period for...

Doesn't Last, I wouldn't buy this again

Date of Review:  Nov 14, 2005
Review: I bought this DVD player over a year ago, and it was ok. A few quarks here and there, but what piece of electronics doesn't have quarks. One of the major quarks was it would randomly beep loudly. It wouldn't beep while viewing all DVDs, nor would it...

Better than Sony

Date of Review:  Aug 4, 2004
Review: I've tried Sansui, JVC, and Sony, and this machine played more types of media, at better quality, than any of them. I also have an old Apex 1500 that plays everything--best machine I've ever encountered. I think because Sony is a content provider,...

Date of Review:  Sep 9, 2004
Review: Paid $90 Office Max, VCR excellent; DVD very good BUT audio is low-just crank up the TV audio.

My first unit was defective, no video output.

Overall I'd say a fine unit, I've had mine for about a month. $15 gives you a 2 year...
