Sony SLV-D300P Progressive-Scan DVD-VCR Combo
Practical and worth it
Like many others before me, I found it a bit troubling that it seems like the only thing people do is 'write a review' with the sole intention of giving something a bad name. I think a lot of the reviews for this item display just that.<br /><br />The DVD/VCR Came in about 2 or 3 days, and it was easy to plug in with the setup I have, which suprised me because I thought i'd have to get a new TV. One zap from the remote and it was setup, and the clock auto set! If I went another couple of steps, certain TVs(especially sonys, no special code input needed) can also be easily setup to use this as the sole remote which is a great bonus! I was very amazed by features on the DVD player like the pause and zoom feature, 7 seperate rewind and fast foward speeds in addition to chapter skip foward and reverse. This was definetly a step up from the touchy playstation 2 I was using before. The VCR worked marvelously, so great in fact, I do not believe i've ever seen VHS tapes displayed in that great picture and sound ever!<br /><br />So before you go and read all the bad reviews, just remember it's easy to read an instruction manual and this is a great player.
