Plays some VHS with static in the audio that other VCRs play fine. Even worse, the DVDs that are recorded from this machine are of very poor quality. Audio and video cuts out at random, creating very jumpy DVDs. This is from the brand new machine. I returned it within a week. Very poor quality. Don't put yourself through the hassle of having to buy and return. BEWARE.

Job one for a DVD player (even one that records on DVD and VHS) is to play what you've recorded, and to play your DVDs. Good luck getting this hunk of junk to play your store-bought DVDs. Half the time, when offering you a menu, it will not highlight the menu items so you can't actually choose anything. Which of course brings your viewing to an abrupt end.

As to recording, this thing does not allow you to dub digitally from an outside source to the DVD player. So much for the wonder of digital imagery.

I'm very unhappy with the machine -- I'd say you should avoid it.

Returned it within a couple of days because various functions were not working properly right off the bat; VHS tapes were playing improperly, VHS to DVD record was operating at a strange ratio, etc.

Thankfully, Amazon's refund process was smooth.
