This is a good price and a good device. It plays videos and also DVDs. While there are several things missing from the features list and the manual shows many limitations it does what you want it to. I have had no trouble with my cassettes, even the old ones (for which I bought this device). DVD playback is simple and is lead by an on screen display.

Bear in mind that the device may have trouble with a few discs. I have yet to try any homemade DVDs but when I do I will update.

All in all, a good DVD player and a great VCR. Best of both ages and a good price.

This was a purchase for my husband and I who are not that techno. We needed something easy to use and this is it. It is also very good looking when it's up and being used. We are enjoying using this item very much and would buy and/or recommend it to anyone else. The price wasn't bad either and we've used the Sylvania brand before and find it to be very reliable.

It has performed beautifully thus far with zero problems and over 50 disks without a reject. Just follow instructions...

Bought this to replace my aging VCR and DVD players in living room. Simple, easy to use buttons on face of unit. Remote not so user friendly, but programmed my master remote, so don't need it much. Does the job well, plays burned cd's, dvd's with no problems. Plenty of options to hook up, S-Video, Component video, Coaxial - compatible with just about anything you have. I figure it will last me 2-3 years & then I'll need an excuse to upgrade again - for 69.99 plus free shipping, well worth the cost.

I use it primarily as a VCR. I haven't found a way to playback on a different channel when recording on the timer setting. Also, when doing a quick rewind during playback, it makes an unpleasant noise before resuming

I needed a nice simple DVD/VCR set for my bedroom... found it. It's not overly complex and basically gets the job done. It definitely suits my purpose. I recommend it.

I wanted a combination DVD/VCR player. This object turns out to also be a VTR, which is okay. The instructions are printed in
small type and are distributed across the pages like a
commentary on the Talmud--read a box here, turn the page 90
degrees, read another box, turn the page again, etc. They are
majorly unreadable. So, unless you've owned one of these
before and can intuit how to work it, don't expect much from
it. It's a little taller than the average such box, so measure
the space in which you plan to put it. I had to do some
chiseling out of the underside of a wooden shelf to fit the
box in. The Amazon web site does not give dimensions for the object.

Good price for a necesary transitional item. Simple electronics yet a little too involved to connect for my taste.

This unit performed well, it was easy to install and use, and the price was right.

ASt first, it worked great. Now, ever DVD locks up, freezes, restarts, then locks up again. I am going to return it to Amazon. You get what you pay for I guess.
