    I really like having a vcr and a DVR player all in one. It is a easy to use machine and easy to switch from one player to the other.

    I am sure it is good for what it is. I am not much of a techie and find it difficult to remember how to juggle 2 remotes. I watch very little TV and I can't seem to remember which buttons I push on each one w/o a bit of experimentation. I wish it could all be in one.

    I have been looking around for a VHS DVD combo for quite some time so that I could play all of my old VHS movies. This one was pretty reasonably priced and it is of good quality.

    This marchine replaces my old VHS/DVD combination machine just fine. My only complaint is that it does not tell me how many minutes are left on a VHS tape, only how many minutes were used during the last taping. I use VHS to tape programs while I'm not home. Once I fill up the six hours, I rewind and watch it. With this machine I can't tell how many minutes I have left for taping.

    If you need a vhs player, this one does the job. Do yourself a favor and purchase a rewinder while you're at it.

    Unit was easy to install and operation is fairly simple. Buttons on face are small and hard to read- requires reading glasses! Quality is average, but it does what it is suppose to do.
