    I have many VHS and DVD movies (no blue ray), so when my last device quit working, I know I wanted another one. I am really happy to be watching movies again. I haven't figured out if I can record on it, but that is okay.

    Bought this product to replace one that had quit working. Missed a step in the setup guide and now cannot get the clock to be set. Does not have the connection to the cable, so have to play it by using a different channel on TV.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Needed this for the kids vcr tapes at the vacation house. Only problem is you can not record on vcr tape from the TV. This model is only a player, not a recorder.

    The DVD part is sharp and clear, but when I play a tape, the image has interference lines that shows up when I'm close. The farther away I get, the better the picture. The manual says it's because of the copy protection, but this a purchased tape. Any suggestions?
