Summary: Dud
Review: The DVD player stopped working after 5 months with less than adverage use. I noticed another reviewer experienced the same problem. When you put a DVD in the player is says "LOADING" for a couple of minutes and then says "NO DISC". We probably have watched less then 20 DVD movies on it... Total drag.

Summary: not worth the money
Review: The VCR does not have good recording quality and when you press the "stop" button, it does not stop right away - you must click several times. The dvd player is okay. Remote is not very easy to use. Very disappointed in the product.

I have a Panasonic VCR since 1990. The recording quality is still excellent and the remote is very easy to use. There is no comparison between the Samsung and the Panasonic.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great DVD/VCR at an Affordable Price
Review: This is the first DVD-VCR combo unit that I've had and I enjoy using it. I love the ability to play CD and MP3 discs. There is no fast forward or random play feature for MP3 tracks. It's performance is quite satisfactory when viewing DVDs and VHS tapes. The tape rewind is extremely fast, though a bit noisy. The non-illuminated remote is crammed with useful controls and is fairly well laid out. The unit has a high quality appearance. The picture and sound quality of DVD and VHS are both excellent.

The rear of the unit is well designed having all of the connection options used today. In the front are a composite video input and stereo input. It would have been nice if they had included a headphone jack. Set up of time and date are relatively simple.

While the unit is well designed, functional and attractive I'm not so certain about the electronics. One time when playing an MP3 disk the unit seemed to become quite warm. As a result the disk eject feature failed to work, even after repeated pressings of the open button on both the remote and on the unit itself. I turned off the unit and after it cooled off the disk eject worked fine. This problem has not happened again, but I begin to wonder about reliability.

The nature of a combo unit means complexity, and I was a little confused at first about how to make it do what I wanted, so there is a bit of a learning curve involved. Samsung did an excellent job at making the controls logical, but they are not necessarily intuitive.

Overall I think that this machine is an excellent value.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Works as Advertised
Review: Works good, plays homemade DVD-R as well. It's a little slow switching menus.
