    The combo unit is easy to install and set up. Nice when you still use VHS tapes. Would like the DVD part to be blueray but it is not a deal breaker. I have owned 2 of these now and the first one is 4 years old and still working fine. I would recommend this unit to anyone needing an easy unit to use.

    I have a lot of VCR tapes and the old player I had broke. This unit plays those tapes and has the added advantage of the DVD player. I use it in my workout area with an older TV. The product gets the job done well enough for my limited needs.

    I love my new Toshiba - DVD Player/VCR. It was easy to install and very easy to operate. Provides a very clear picture and has many usable features.

    I was expecting to have to find 2 units to do each thing - and this item was available & does EVERYTHING I wanted - The sales clerk was very helpful & explained all the features of the available items. This one was a no-brainer!

    Just wanted to find a basic item that plays both. However, this records from tape to DVD. Which I barely use but it'll have to do.

    Ease set-up. Excellent play for both the DVD and good-old fashioned VHS tapes. Hard to find good dual players.

    I have just one problem. It doesn't read DVD that are not US format. I have a lot of discs with Russian movie that we can't watch.

    We are satisfied with our combo DVD/VCR player up to this point. We like the ease of use and the fact that we no longer need to have two separate players. We just wish that it had the capability to also play Blue Ray DVDs.

    When my old VHS/DVD player bit the dust due to a power surge, I went to Best Buy for a replacement. After reading lots of on-line reviews, I knew which make and model I wanted.
