Summary: 60 second set up!
Review: My daughter is the *very happy* recipient of this dual deck. She is not exactly an electronics wizard, but she called to say thanks and just bubbled over about how "simple" it was to connect ("really, Dad, I just plugged it in and connected 1 wire and my roommates and I said 'it can't be that simple' but we turned it on and it was like working great"!). She said the remote was "smooth" and the picture quality was "awesome". She also raved about the audio volume the CD player was able to produce and she was "wowed" by its ability to produce this volume cleanly while playing MP3s, ergo becoming, I am informed, the new music center for her dorm room. Anyway, she should remain happy, as GoVideo (& now SONICblue) has been around for quite a while, producing the first dual VCR decks (mostly for copying tapes that were [of course] not copyrighted, such as personal videos) more than a decade ago and since then having greatly expanded their product line, all the while maintaining a pretty good reputation for quality and service and an excellent track record for high value electronics.

Summary: Junk
Review: My wife bought this for me a couple of years ago. The first one failed as a DVD player basically out of the box and the store replaced it. The 2nd unit took somewhat longer to fail. Shipped it off to Go-Video and they "repaired" it. It worked for a brief period before it quit. I gave up and quit even trying to use it as anything more than a VCR.

Summary: Audio problems?? Maybe for an amateur!!
Review: Ordered one USED and quickly realized that the other Amazon reviews were probably written by folks that did the most basic connection you could do (coax in...coax out). If you have a halfway decent home theatre system and utilize the dedicated DVD and VCR RCA audio outputs using good quality cables (Monster cables or other gold tipped audio cables), the audio is great. Dolby Digital is fantastic and the onboard menu allows you to configure for several different variations. Easy setup (less than 10 minutes), easy to use, on screen menus are easy to navigate, plays MP3's, great picture, great sound!! If you want to get an inexpensive unit that will handle DVD and VHS plus also play MP3's (!!!), get one of these!!!

Summary: Audio Is Horrible.
Review: The audio is horrible and I have returned this product. The manufacturer has informed me that I received a defective product. The customer service is horrible as well. They bounce you around from number to number.

Summary: Decent space saver but limited features
Review: The DVD player in this dual deck is OK, on a par with
lower-end budget players. The VCR in this deck is OK, on
a par with lower-end budget VCRs. So far, so fair. BUT the recorder won't record any DVD that is Macrovision
encoded (which is most of them), so don't expect to use this
as a one stop way to record your DVDs. The DVD player also
doesn't play VCDs or SVCDs. So it has basic functionality,
but little more. Overall, this is useful for those who want both a DVD
player and a VCR, and who want to save a bit of space. But at
the price you could purchase a better DVD player and a better
VCR separately. So this only makes sense for those who need
to save the space. David

Summary: Bad buy
Review: The DVD/CD player is a bad buy. The sound amplifier on the DVD player does not work. The nearest "authorized" repair shop is an hour's drive away from where I live. I do not recommend this product or manufacturer to anyone.

Summary: Excellent product
Review: This is a great piece of equipment. My last DVD player was very loud, you could hear the turntable turning while the movie played. But this machine is quiet and is exactly as described by Amazon. The operations and setup are simple. It took all of five minutes before I had a movie playing. Fabulous!
