Summary: Remote falsely advertised as multibrand
Review: I have been a loyal Toshiba buyer, but, no more! After extensively reviewing this combo unit at several web sites including the Toshiba corporate site, I decided to purchase it. I was excited that I was able to tie the unit into my audio reciever. I was disappointed to find that this model does not come with a multibrand remote. It is advertied by Toshiba as having a mulitbrand remote (to control other brand tv's and so fourth) but it does not. The remote only works the unit itself it will not control my Toshiba TV or any other brand TV for that matter. My 8 year old Hitachi VCR even came with a multibrand remote. I questioned Toshiba customer support and they were rude and directed me to their web site's disclaimer about not being responsible for changes in fetures from advertised product, bla bla bla. I am all done with Toshiba. I will be returning this for a Sony that actually has this feature.

Summary: Not bad for a non-techie
Review: I know nothing about audio-video equipment, but this was really a snap to set-up. I don't own any DVDs to test that part of the machine, but the video that I have in right now looks simply beautiful, much better than other VCRs I have owned. The images are crisp and clean.As far as the remote goes, yes, it is a little confusing, but I followed the manual for setting it up and I had no problem. I wish it had a little more structure and substance (it seems almost kind of flimsy). Still, I was able to get the machine running in a matter of minutes. My only other issue is that the cable TV that now feeds through the DVD/VCR seems a bit muddled (the picture is fuzzy, but I haven't really tightened any of the connections yet and I don't remember how fuzzy it was before), so it could be due to that. I look forward to learning how to go from stereo to surround-sound, and the manual seems to provide that kind of info. I am truly impressed with this device!

Summary: Warning...Do not buy this combo unit
Review: I purchase this vcr/dvd combo today and was disappointed. My first dvd movie suddenly paused without warning...I could not start my movie and had to exit all together. Second, use of the remote control was frustrating. Save yourself some headaches...do not purchase. I'm returning my purchase tomorrow.

Summary: Think twice before you buy this unit!
Review: I thought by spending a little more on the Toshiba product I would save myself money in the long run. I assumed it would last longer and be a higher quality product. The product warranty is 3 months parts and labor and 1 year parts (you pay labor charges). I've had mine seven months, and the vhs side simply quit showing us a picture. We can hear sound, but the screen is blank. I took it to the service center where they charged an initial $37 just to look at it. I'm sure that before it's over and done with, the repair costs will be climbing upward to what a new non-Toshiba combo would be. If you have had good luck with a particular band, buy it again. If you have no prior experience with a brand, don't assume that spending more is going to get you a better product. It just simply isn't always the case.

Summary: I like it
Review: I've been using this for a couple months now and haven't had any technical problems at all. The only thing I don't like about it is when you are watching a video and then you press stop, after a few minutes the video starts rewinding without you doing anything. It sucks because I lose my place in the movie but now I just turn the power off instead of just stop when I want to pause the movie. I watch tons of dvds on it with no problem at all. All the buttons on the remote work out great and it was easy to hook up to your tv. If you want something to play movies in both vcr and dvd for a good price I would definately go with this.

Summary: Works great
Review: I've had it for about three weeks now and it works great. Plays mp3 (from cd-r). Vcr works good too. I haven't tried to play dvd-r yet, but my new pc with the dvd-r writer is in route :) So we shall see if it will work. A real space saver too. It is the same size as my old sony vcr alone.

Summary: So far so good
Review: I've had this machine for about 1.5 years, and so far it's worked very well for me. There have been no problems with the VCR or DVD, and I use it frequently. This is the perfect unit for the bedroom television. The machine was initially very easy to set up, and the menus, timers, remote, etc. are all very user-friendly. I have no complaints about this machine at all.

Summary: Just great
Review: I've had this model for about a year and a half and it has been great - not one problem whatsoever - I think any "negative" reviews must be due to user error, because any monkey could properly set this up - very simple to use. DVD is great, never a skip - VCR is fine. Remote is ok, simply a matter of R-E-A-D-I-N-G the manual. Highly recommend this product.
