1.0 out of 5 stars sorry in nc, October 1, 2009

By	unhappy "tarheel" - See all my reviews

Bought this model at a local Wal-Mart due to price. Since VCR's don't have a history of longevity, I was not wanting to spend more than I had to. Since the unit does not have a tuner, I had to purchase a modulator in order to get it to work with my DISH unit. Attempted to play a few of our VCR tapes to check the quality. The first tape skipped and had poor picture quality, even though it played perfectly on our old VCR. The next two tapes had poor picture and sound quality, even though they also looked and sounded fine on our old VCR. Am returning the unit to WM. Will be forced to spend more money to get a better unit. I would give an "A" to Magnavox for their telephone service support. However, I would give this unit a "D" on performance. I would not recommend this unit to anyone who wants a good, quality VCR/DVD player.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great!, October 29, 2009

This DVD/VCR player is doing exactly what I expected it to do. It plays all of my DVDs and I am able to watch my home videos (on tapes) which is why I bought it in the first place. Hook-up was quick and did not need extra cables. I get a great picture on my tv. For the price I paid, you can't beat it.

1.0 out of 5 stars A waste of time if you want to record programs, September 22, 2009

By	Anna Lytical (USA) - See all my reviews

I just spent quite a bit of time hooking up one of these models bought at Wal-mart. After I figured out how to make it work with our TV so that it would both play and record, we discovered some of it's shortcomings. We use cable and there is no co-axial screw-in, so you have send the signal through the TV and then into this unit another way. Okay, we could deal with that. There is no digital readout screen on the front of the unit. (yes we did notice that before) The buttons like "play" do not light up. (didn't realize that) When setting up the clock and all that we discovered there is no internal tuner to set up or receive the channels from cable. It does have a timer to record, but it will only record whatever is being played on the TV at that time. So you can not watch one show while recording another. Also, if the TV is off, guess what it will record? That's right - nothing. Screwiest, craziest VCR we've ever owned, but as I speak it is being taken back for a refund. That's why I'm on here looking around. Haven't found anything yet that will meet our simple needs for under $100. I guess we have to pay more or change our ways or both.
