    This is a great player, but the remote could be designed much better. The buttons are very small and difficult to read.

    This was an ok purchase, helped me consolidate some items on my entertainment system. Wished they had a BlueRay/VCR combo... I did think that this item was just a little costly

    The truth is that I haven't used it that much yet, so I am being generous on the rating. I once had an old 27 inch Toshiba TV and it worked very well, so I'm basing my rating on that.

    This is my second one of these I've bought and they both work flawlessly. Only two issues. (1) The hookup diagram/instructions require a doctorate in electronics. (2) The remotes are finicky -- you'd better be pointing right at the thing.

    This product is simple and looks good. It is a Toshiba just like my tv so I thought connected the two would be easy. The issue is this product comes with an RCA cable only. The quality of the product is good. The remote control came with its own batteries so that was helpful.

    Only one of the 3 types of video inputs can be used at a time. We had hoped to use the S-video for watching DVD's and VHS videos, but S-video does not work for VHS tapes. We watch both DVD's and have many old VHS tapes. The video tape image does not come through using S-video or component (RGB) video inputs.

    Happy to find this combo unit as we still have many old vcr tapes and all of the old vcr's had finally stopped working. This was very easy to set up and use. We are thinking of purchasing a second one.
