1.0 out of 5 stars GoVideo was a mistake, May 1, 2002

By	John Vineyard (Riverside, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this item less than a year ago, and now I am shopping for a replacement. The combo unit is a good idea - it saves space and simplifies set up - but the quality of GoVideo leaves quite a bit to be desired. The VCR side works well, but the DVD side is hopeless. It's slow to load. It skips and freezes. The materials are generally cheap.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works Great Once You Figure Out the Audio Setup, June 12, 2002

By A Customer

This unit worked as described right out of the box. I just hooked up the same cables from my old VCR to get both DVD and VCR working.

Only issue was that the audio while running a DVD was lower than normal TV or running a VCR tape. Subsequently I connected my stereo system/speakers as secondary output for the DVD (it's labeled on the back of the unit) and now I get great surround sound coming out of both the TV and the stereo system.
It takes a bit to figure out the audio settings but once you do you'll highly enjoy this unit!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a good consumer choice..., September 13, 2002

By	Jared Jongeling (USA) - See all my reviews

I bought this set a few months ago and after a few movies watched on it, almost every DVD I had tried was skipping like heck. It wasn't my DVDs, because they were brand new, and the player was brand new, so I doubt it needed a cleaning. At first I thought I had just gotten a "lemon", but from the other reviewers on here, it seems like I'm not the only one. This player skips...hopefully I can get a replacement soon.
