Good DVD/VCR player with annoying remote
After suffering through a couple of really junky DVD/VCR combinations, I have been happy with this Philips model. I've now been using it for nine months and have had no problems at all. It plays DVD flawlessly, even those scratched-up rental discs. I don't use the VCR all that much, but when I do, it works without a problem.
One nice feature is that if you turn off the DVD player in the middle of a movie, and you don't eject the disc, it will remember where you left off. The next time...

Great product!
This is a very simple and straight forward player. It's light, basic and full featured. If you still have VHS tapes it's a great way to go. I have mine hooked up to a digital cable tv and I haven't had any problems setting up for a movie as I've had with others in the past. It has wonderful image quality, sound is great, I'd definitely recommend it!

Thanks for posting that this does NOT have a tuner!
Thank you to all the people posting that this does unit does NOT have a tuner, since Amazon doesn't seem to have that fact anywhere in their product description. I figured that it didn't, based on the price, but having that spelled out clearly in the listings would be pretty useful and save on Amazon having to deal with a bunch of returns from people who needed to have one with a tuner. Philips may be a decent brand, but we don't have a cable or satellite box and hook up our stuff directly to th...

Great value
This is an excellent value. The description neglects to state this model is not cable ready. There are two solutions.
1. Use a cable converter box. 2. Purchase a (female) coax to (male) RCA converter for a few dollars.

Very disappointed
I bought this thinking I would be able to at least record incoming video from cable, nope. There is no coax cable hook up, RCA hook up only. After a couple of months the VCR started to eat my tapes when the tape started to rewind. At first I thought it was due to the heads being dirty but after the fourth tape was eaten I have come to the conclusion that the VCR has a Gremlin.
The DVD player is okay.
Perhaps I got a lemon.
I suggest that others think of getting a...

User friendly DVD/VCR combo
I did not buy this item for me, but my mom has alot of trouble before trying to coordinate all the electronics together in order to use. With this system she says she can easily go from tv to movie mode without any problems. She has enjoyed the ease of being able to work all of the electronics when it is only her at the house.

Great DVD/VCR player combo
Plays all formats flawlessly. Easy to read remote. Troublefree setup. Philips is a Dutch company which produces quality stuff. Beats the price and quality of any Japanese, Taiwanese, Chinese products.

Avoid this for sure
I bought one of these & I have to say it's really bad. The set-up is complicated. The remote has every button you can imagine but you can never seem to find the one you want because the layout is complicated & not functionally organized. Bigger issues. The VCR player quit after a very short period of use. Next, the remote quit working. Without that, the DVD functions don't work because there's no manual option. This thing is a piece of junk.

No Tuner
Maybe there is some clue in the description of this item but it needs to be more clear that this does not include a tuner. At least the box had a big sticker on the outside warning that it does not have a tuner. Might be a nice 5-star item if you're hooking it to a cable box, but I had to return it unopened.
