4.0 out of 5 stars Great Value, October 31, 2003
By David Hassall (Wichita, KS) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
With this machine you can't go wrong, 100 bucks get's you a VHS and DVD player and tons of other features. I personally love the MP3 playback on this system, no longer do I have to go to the trouble of connecting my laptop to my home entertainment center to play MP3's on surround sound.

Video playback and sound quality are just typical in comparison to other machines, it's nothing fancy nothing shabby. For 100 bucks though you can't ask for more.

This is a must for the movie and music lover on a budget!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, Inexpensive Unit, January 7, 2004
By Michael B. Richman (Portland, Maine USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Well this is something new for me -- an electronics review -- but I just had to put in my two cents on this product. I ordered this DVD/VCR combo for the family for Christmas after our ten-year old VCR finally bit the dust. After reading a few glowing reviews and spending less money for this unit than I did ten years ago for the old VCR, I felt like I made a great buy. But shortly after placing the order, the negative reviews started popping up for this item, and I got nervous that I once again I let the penny-pincher in me make an unwise buying decision. Well now the holidays are over, the unit is set up and running and ... (drumroll please) ... it's great! Granted I don't play DVDs like I do CDs, but I have experienced no problems whatsoever. The picture quality is first-rate. It plays Disney and various other movies without problems, though I haven't tried DVD-Rs. The VCR provides high quality images on playback of taped TV-shows, and on our worn-out old kids-videos. It even will timer record on the VCR while the DVD is playing -- what a luxury! Sure it doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, but at this price what do you expect! My old clunker VCR was cheap and it didn't have a lot of features either, and it outlasted my friends and families fancier units by years. Here's to the Sylvania following in its hallowed footsteps!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Value, December 6, 2003
By A Customer
The Sylvania DVC860D is a great product and a great value. I have used my DVC860D for 9 months with absolutely no problems. The VHS Deck records and plays back with great quality. The DVD plays all the DVD disc formats that it states it will play. The customer who stated that it would not play all his DVD discs must be attempting to play a DVD-ROM disc recorded on a Panasonic DVD Recorder (DVD-ROM works fine, but Panasonic is the only brand DVD Player that will play the DVD-ROM format discs).
