All of our patrons are thrilled to have this unit to use in the library.

I got this for my wife who has an extensive oldie movie collection. She likes being able to cycle between DVD/VCR with one button. I have a silver face model from 3 years ago which is why I wanted the Philips.

I've only had the unit a few months and have used it weekly. So far, so good. Had not have had any problems at all. Would recommend this product.

I can use my old VHS tapes, and play my DVDs also. I LIKE the versatility of being able to record to DVDs, or VHS tapes. Easy to use. I also own the older model whose VCR started malfunctioning after several years. Cheaper to buy the new model instead of repairing.

GREAT TO RECORD FROM DVD TO VHS. BEST DVD/VCR COMBO NOT HARD TO USE

The quality of the playback is awful. It is the hardest piece of electronic equipment that I have ever owned to use. It requires getting out the book every time, not to mention multiple remote controls. Then I just usually say "forget it".........

To videotape TV programs it requires an additional cable tuner which no one other than cable companies have, so instead of buying a tuner you have to rent one for the rest of your life. Instructions indicate RF modulator can be used, but you still cannot record TV programs (not in instructions). Unit seems flimsy. Digital display requires a magnifying glass to see.

I bought this because the seller claimed it could record my VHS videos to DVD. It can't. WHY would I want to record a DVD to an old VHS??? That is can do...don't understand the backwards thinking in that design. Also, very complicated, half of what they say doesn't work the way they say, the visuals don't match the remote or the instruction booklet... Poorly made for this day and age. I regret buying it.
