Broke Fast

The DVD player function stopped working after less than 3 months. The VCR still worked fine but it has to go in for service because of the DVD. No DVD player should stop working after that short a time. I used it probably for about an hour or two a day, on average. Very disappointed. Always heard good things about Samsung but this makes me leery.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Better Than Expected

ok so i bought this unit because I needed an extra VCR and DVD player. i was a little iffy because i had read horrible reviews on it so with that said i decided to give it a chance. alas it has met my expectations just like every Samsung product i own (over 11 including a Samsung VCR from 1987 that still works to this day). clear picture from both decks and excellent sound too. i'm very satisfied with this product. thanks Samsung for great quality products you make.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Warning: Limited Product

We purchased this on the recommendation of Best Buy and quickly discovered there were issues. 1. Comcast said they could not provide numbers for integrating with HD Digital Tv.
2. Samsung did not have any numbers to integrate with a Vizio HD TV. 3. When tech support was asked about running existing VCR tapes and editing to DVD the comment was "well, if you can not get an image then you probably can not edit it." Needless to say, this went back to the store.
We are now searching through the digital tuner models for something dependable. Interestingly, most of the salespeople are recommending that those with 4 head VCR units (the most common since 1990) keep them and hook them up to the HD TV(if you can find the codes and run as a component or auxilary) and then add an HD DVD recorder due to the high return rate on combo units. Ironically, we have Signature 2000 VCR units that still function from Montgomery Wards but manufactured by Gemstar and both Samsung and Comcast were able to tell us where to fine the codes.

I found this product what you were looking for, simple, quality and modern. Strong structure, good design, I'm using in a Sylvania 32-inch and it looks very good.
I would recommend this to a friend!
