Summary: Taking the second one back!
Review: I purchased this machine at Costco. Worked fine playing the first DVD. Subsequently, it played the same scene over and over and wouldn't advance to the next scene. It also had a "jumpy" picture. I thought it was just a bad one so I took it back and got another. Played the first two DVD's fine and now the picture is jumping just like the last time! It goes back tomorrow and I'm getting another brand.

Review: I'm a girl and don't understand anything techinical. I bought this unit primarily because it was the first combo unit I had seen and I had enough money on my J.C. Penney card to cover the then cost of $250.00 plus tax and shipping. My husband and I have now had this unit over a year and it has been wonderful. No noise from the machine as other reviewers have stated, the picture quality is great and so easy to use even I can handle it. I was wary of the Go Video name, as we had never heard of the company before, but we would not hestitate to buy from them again. Good quality unit in my opinion.

Summary: Sonic Blue Support Terrible
Review: My first and last Sonic Blue purchase. The DVD player quit on the 5th DVD I attempted to play. Sonic Blue directed me to a repair company who said, when I carried the player into their store, that they no longer do warranty work for Sonic Blue . I was then directed to a second store. They also said they no longer do warranty work for Sonic Blue. So now I've mailed the player off to a repair station in another state. The people at the Sonic Blue warranty phone number were not friendly or helpful. Terrible support.

Summary: I'm getting a new one!
Review: My GoVideo DVR 4300 went bad within 6 months after purchase from Radio Shack. Most of the warranty had already expired. The unit developed severe VCR tracking problems, resulting in unwatchable portions of recorded programs. It was sent to the shop three times and each time it was returned with the same problems. It is by far the worst electronic device I ever purchased. I have gone back to my old (20 years) unit which works just fine, even if the technology is outdated.

Review: My GoVideo product was a christmas gift and I am glad that I spent no money of my own to purchase it. It just long enough not to be covered by the warranty. Buyer Beware!

Summary: Brand new and it doesn't work
Review: Right out of the box, it worked great. Set-up was easier than my last DVD. Then, we tried to play a second DVD. No Go, Govideo. The we tried to get help. Since we bought via Amazon, we can't return there. Govideo says "don't return, call us!" Well, the well meaning woman from Asia who answered the call had no answers. Take it to Radio Shack and they can fix it! Right, she's from Asia, isn't she! Now I have to take the unit to a large retail electronics store and throw myself on their mercy. Good luck! Just goes to show, don't buy on-line and don't buy from a brand you've never heard from. Two days and 1 1/2 hours on the phone, and I have to ask a firm who didn't sell me the unit to please fix it. And, they'll say "why didn't you buy it here?" Good question. Amazon and more specifiaclly,"Sonicblue, AKA Govideo" don't have my endorsement. Buy a name brand from a store you can trust. Buy Sony or someone you've heard of. Sonicblue? ...

Review: Some of the volume problems that were mentioned in other reviews may be due to the fact that there is a separate volume control on the remote which controls and limits the volume is set improperly or not to one's preference. Otherwise I've had great luck with it. Maybe luck? I don't know.
