Samsung DVD-V2000 DVD-VCR Combo
Not a keeper
I returned the DVD-V2000 after a few days for the following reasons:<br />1. Noisy disk drive.<br />2. On DVD playback, part or all of the picture would occasionally break up; I have never seen this happen on my older standalone Samsung DVD player.<br />3. Response to the remote control is delayed by at least a second, making the remote awkward to use. Also the rew/FF buttons do double duty as skip-to-scene buttons, and it requires precise timing (very difficult with the delayed response) to get the mode and speed you want. I found it almost impossible to rewind just a few seconds to catch something I missed; I generally ended up either holding the button down too long and going into quadruple speed, or releasing too soon and skipping back to the beginning of the scene.<br />On the positive side, the remote is universal and worked fine with my Sony TV.
