This unit stopped working about four months after I purchased it. The labor warranty ran out after 90 days. A real piece of junk.

This is a great deal for only 99$. I bought the same piece from best buy for 150$. I currently use it in my dorm room and its great. It is easy to use with all the controls located on the remote. A steal.

I bought two of these in November of 2002. The power went out on the first one in june of 2003. The power went out on the second one today 2 Feb. I am single and live alone and work 12-16 hours. I do not watch enough tapes/dvds to have the power go out. They did not last a year and a half. shop around on some of the reviews before purchasing.

This review was written after i used the product for couple of days.
First the drawbacks.
1) Clumsy scattered Remote control.
2) There is easily more room for picture quality. Right now picture is not bad, its ok.
3)Probably there is no way to record a DVD to VCR. A must feature.
But at this price i don't really care.
1) Its easy to setup.
2) And in all respect it would easily compete with more costlier version in the market
I change my stand:
Three words: piece of junk

Within 6 weeks of purchasing this item, I could no longer record TV shows as the audio no longer worked. I could not return it to the store so I called Sylvania and was told I would have to send it back as it could not be fixed. What a piece of junk! I can't wait to buy a new one (which will NOT be a Sylvania model either!). We could not turn the timer on or off using the remote either.

It's a good thing that the Sylvania DVC850C has a built in VHS player since you will need it when after three months both the DVD player and warranty expire.

It works fine, no fancy buttons or accessories. So far, we've been pleased with the quality for the price we paid. It was the cheapest one we could find at the time.

This player died on me after 6 months. The VCR and DVD no longer work. Don't waste your money on this.

This player isn't flashy, but very functional. After 4 years of use, we have had zero problems. Simple to setup and operate and has good features - excellent given the price.

Purchased 11/02 - after warranty ran out, unit began eating commercial VHS tapes. After prying tape out of unit, DVD worked, but now that is bad as well - unit continues to shut down automatically. Funai/Sylvania is no help an no service local to my area in Columbus, OH?? Repair probably higher than $135 cost - junk. Ignored the advice not to purchase combos - never again.
