I had no idea that this had no cable hook up. It hooks up through audio video only. Fortunately the store where it was purchased allowed me to return the same day. No tuner. Instructions insist the VCR will tape. Would like to know how that could be done! There is nothing on the outside box to indicate that there is no tuner.

When I purchased this product only the DVD would work and I thought maybe I didn't have it hooked up correctly. Well, that was about 6 months ago and now it won't even turn on. I really want the DVD/VCR combo and guess I'll start shopping....but not this brand again.

This product seems to be a pretty good product; it has a tuner, links well to dtv box, records fine, shows picture fine. There was minimal skipping on playback of a tape, I recorded from another vcr. However, if you are looking to program the vcr to record while you are away from home or busy, this function isn't available. There is only one touch recording(OTR) with the time for recording options available. I have been searching the manual, the internet, memorex website for instructions but I am starting to believe, this option is not available on this model. Be warned.

Had this unit for quite a while (3+ years). It has worked just fine and came in handy for playing our Disney movies that are mostly VHS. It just recently went out on us - the DVD player is making a clicking noise and does not spin the DVD's properly. For the price, you can't beat it. If you want all of the bells and whistles you will want to purchase a better quality unit which means you will spend more. But for the occasional movie watching, works perfectly. We will be purchasing another one to replace ours that broke.

Nice looking unit but looks arent everything, The DVD playeer works but the language selection works part time. The VCR part does not play without interference and the tracking buttons do no good. This unit was reconditioned and they aparently did a poor job of that. Not worth the price paid.

I bought this unit only six months ago. Rarely used the VHS player. Just last night the SLP speed just went bonkers. Won't play back properly. I cleaned the recording heads. Still on the blink. I don't just get streaks, I get a jarring white glare. Ironically, everything works fine on the SP mode. So my only guess is something went out of alignment with the SLP mode.

I bought this unit from an Amazon merchant called GoHastings. They advertised the product as new and the price was right. But when I got my order I found out it was a refurbished unit. I should have sent it back but the machine was working at the time. So, I guess, you live and learn.

i bought this refurbished machine basically because i already have one of the same, and it worked fine. the problem was that the original remote control i got with my dvd/vcr had broken the first month i had it. so i decided to buy one exactly like the one i had, then when when it stopped working (as these things always do eventually) i could just switch it out and still have a remote for both. well all went great until last week. my old dvd/vcr started to crap out, so i swapped machines (patting myself on the back the whole way.) lo and behold, the new machine won't read any discs. the vcr works fine on both machines, but now i can't watch any dvds on either of them. (thank god for my ps2.) i didn't contact the seller because it has been quite awhile since i bought it from them. it's pretty much my fault anyways, since i didn't hook it up right away and test it out. the seller did send it well: fast and well packed. it just doesn't work right.

I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THIS COMBO VCR DVD PLAYER. I PURCHASED THIS ITEM FOR MY GRANDDAUGHTER- IT WORKS GREAT, EASY TO USE AND FIGURE OUT. I WILL BE PURCHASING ANOTHER(IF STILL AVAILABLE) AT A LATER DATE.

From Day One, this machine has caused nothing but problems. The VCR play-back is minimal at best. I have had trouble playing brand-new, factory sealed DVD's. Skipping, stopping, and just plain shutting down during play. As God as my witnes, and for as long as I live, I will never purchase a Memorex product, nor wish them on my worst enemy, as I believe the Geneva Convention prevents cruel and unusaul punishment.

You cannot find a dual DVD/VHS player for the price. Only issue I had was cosmetic, the cover on the front of the dvd drive came off. Everything works perfectly and that is all I asked for.
