Toshiba SD-V280 DVD-VCR Combo, Silver
Remote falsely advertised as multibrand
I have been a loyal Toshiba buyer, but, no more! After extensively reviewing this combo unit at several web sites including the Toshiba corporate site, I decided to purchase it. I was excited that I was able to tie the unit into my audio reciever. I was disappointed to find that this model does not come with a multibrand remote. It is advertied by Toshiba as having a mulitbrand remote (to control other brand tv's and so fourth) but it does not. The remote only works the unit itself it will not control my Toshiba TV or any other brand TV for that matter. My 8 year old Hitachi VCR even came with a multibrand remote. I questioned Toshiba customer support and they were rude and directed me to their web site's disclaimer about not being responsible for changes in fetures from advertised product, bla bla bla. I am all done with Toshiba. I will be returning this for a Sony that actually has this feature.
