    Bought for a meeting where I had a speaker who needed to show a DVD and a VHS. More cost effective to buy this combo than individual components since the VHS by itself was over $200. I am reserving full judgement on the product due to bad experiences with previous combo machines. I would only recommend if someone has to have a VHS because it is cheaper than a stand alone VHS.

    If you still use a VCR, this one should fit the bill.

    The machine replaced an older model that finally died. The Toshiba model presents a better picture and is very easy to use once it was installed.

    These days there are very few TV/VCR units available, this one has all the features needed and was not too expensive though not really cheap. Good if you still need to play VHS tapes.

    bought this for my brother who is not great at hooking things up. I had it installed in a matter of a couple of minutes, showed him how to use it & he loves it! I've always thought Toshiba was a good product.

    We had an issue w/ connectivity to the tv. Calling customer service was a 20 minute waste of time. The problem is customer service personnel speak but don't understand English. You try and explain the issue and you know by their response they're reading from a screen. We ended up taking pictures of the back of the dvr/vhs player and our tv, went back to Best Buy and in less than 2 minutes got our problem solved. Won't call customer service ever again.
