4.0 out of 5 stars Great for the price . . . so far at least!, May 24, 2005

This review is from: Samsung DVDV5500 DVD/VCR Combination Dual Deck (Electronics)
I just brought this home, so I can't give any long-term performance notes. These combo machines seem to have a collective bad record in that regard, so we'll see. That said, the cd-player sounds great, dvd's play fine, dvd-r's, vcd's and so on (tested those 3 so far), and the VCR is more responsive than our old Sharp standalone. You can pause, ff and rew with barely a moments hesitation. You can hear the motor running softly, so if you're particular prone to hair-pulling if your electronics aren't whisper-quiet, then you may want to look elsewhere, but I wouldn't call it loud by any stretch of the imagination.

For the giveaway price I'm extremely satisfied and very happy to put the old VCR deck down in the basement. I bought it at Sears and paid an extra $15 for a two year full-replacement warranty, so you probably won't hear much squealing on my end if it suffers some sort of premature melt-down, but I'll keep folks posted in any case.

2.0 out of 5 stars Ok player for the price, November 24, 2005

Doug (Oregon USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Samsung DVDV5500 DVD/VCR Combination Dual Deck (Electronics)
Bought this unit for my bedroom to replace a vcr. Not a heavy use item so didnt want to spend too much. After many reviews I settled on this unit. Almost all the combo units I read about were similar in that not one stood out as really good, unless you wanted to spend hundreds of dollars. Bought the unit in June 05 and was impressed with the features for the price. The remote wasnt very good, with dozens of small buttons all cramped onto a small area but for the infrequency of use, I didnt care too much.
Played DVD's and VCR tapes fine. Was fairly quiet so I was pleased.
Yesterday put in a dvd and out of the blue it said it couldnt read it. Tried the dvd in an older player I had and it started right up. So I fed several more dvd's into the samsung only to have them either take forever to load or not be able to read the disc. The discs were clean and scratch free. Also noticed some weird whirring noises on certain dvds that it couldnt read.
The unit only comes with a 90? day labor warranty and a 1 year parts. By the time I pay to ship it to a repair center and pay the labor to repair it, I figure I'll be into the unit at least 1/2 the purchase price
I guess its time again to look for another dvd player for the bedroom and I dont think I'll be looking at another Samsung. Will also try to find a unit with a stronger labor warranty.

3.0 out of 5 stars 2nd Samsung VCR/DVD Combo, October 10, 2005

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Samsung DVDV5500 DVD/VCR Combination Dual Deck (Electronics)
This is my second Samsung VCR/DVD combo but I'm not sure I would buy another one. This time the first unit came with a VCR that was broken, Amazon was fantastic about returning it and sending another. Had new unit in a few days. This time everything worked okay. However it was not an easy setup and the manual left much to be desired. I guess for the cost it is okay but I think next time I will spend a little more to get something better.
