Summary: Junk
Review: For this price or lower you can get Toshiba or JVC, which are better and have progressive scan. This one doesn't, and VCR can jam your tapes.

Summary: MemSticks? the only choice
Review: I bought Samsungs's P-721M DVD player, and this V2500 combo, since I could find no others for playing music and viewing photos on Memory Sticks.

Summary: Samsung V2500 only 3 stars
Review: I bought the V2500 in April and already have problems with the DVD Player. It states the disc is LOADING, but then states NO DISC. It still plays CD's though. The remote only works if you are directly in front of the unit, which is very annoying. I would not buy this again.

Summary: Excellent value
Review: I bought this model about a year ago, and while pleased with the unit, I didn't consider it a huge bargain at the time. But, now that it can be had for almost $$$ less than when I purchased it, I highly recommend it as an extrememly excellent value. (I am a little miffed that I paid so much back then, though. Such is life.)
The DVD section is excellent. It has played anything I've shoved into it, including Asian VCD's.
The VCR section has good picture and sound, nothing spectacular compared to DVD, of course. It has a very fast rewind.
The Memory Stick function works a little slowly. But, hey! It HAS a memory stick function! Where else will you find DVD, VCR, and Memory Stick in the same unit for this price?
Other pluses include quiet operation. (I don't hear the noises other reviewers have complained about.) And, an RF output for DVD.
The only minuses I've noticed is that DVD menu choices and the Memory Stck playback menu both seem to respond slowly to commands, and the remote control is a little "busy" with a ton of buttons, some quite small.

Summary: Great Value except 2 warranty claims
Review: I bought this unit because of it high value rating. The VCR stopped working after about a week and was fixed under warranty at a local shop in Hawaii. Now, exactly 1 year after I bought it, the DVD part is broken. Luckily it is still under warranty but I have to ship it to NJ.(I now live in Florida). The unit has worked great and it was a good deal for $130.00, even with the two warranty claims.

Summary: Low on features and buggy
Review: I got this thinking I would save myself on some connections and components. Well, here is what has happened in less than a year of use (only played one VCR tape in it):1) LOTS of problems with the unit not ejecting DVD and CD's. Will just sit there and spin...and have waited for hours before trying to get it to eject. Sent it back to Samsung, and their comment (after I paid S&H) was "couldn't reproduce problem". GAHH!!! 2) Poor options on CD/MP3 playback. There is absolutely NO random/shuffle option. On screen MP3 title selection is nice, though. Paid $250 for this one year ago. -Jeff

Summary: SAMSUNG DVD-V2500 DVD Player and VHS VCR Combo
Review: I looked long and hard before deciding to buy this unit. I noticed that some brands had reports of lines when they played or stopped or some other problem. I have nothing but praise for the V2500. It's clear as a bell when I use the dvd or vhs and has the progressive scan for the widescreen tvs. I have component connections for the dvd and RCA for the vhs, plus satellite and antenna inputs so I can record with one of those while watching a dvd. I wanted to ask Samsung some questions about hookups (like the component and s-video only help dvd, vhs isn't digital so RCA jacks are the best) and had no problem getting through and the Samsung Rep was very knowledgeable and friendly. I recommend the V2500 if you want a combination unit.
