JVC HRXVS44U DVD/VCR Combo , Silver
High Quality Combo
I'm very satisfied with this combo. As others have said, the picture quality of both DVD and VCR is excellent. On the VCR/TV side of things, most units offer SVideo out but not input. This is one of the few that offers this (in addition to composite and RF). So, I have my digital cable TV box connected via SVideo, then SVideo out on the JVC unit connects to my HD-ready TV. Then, component out to the TV as well. With progressive scan turned off, I can watch DVD, VCR, or cable TV on SVideo, and just DVD on component. With PS turned on, DVD can only be watched on component and SVideo is only used for VCR or TV viewing. The only drawback using the SVideo input from cable TV is that the unit needs to be turned on in order to view cable TV. It doesn't pass through the signals if it is turned off. A small price to pay for best quality viewing.
