Samsung DVD-V3500 Progressive-Scan DVD/VCR Combo
Problems with remote and reading DVDs
Like several of the other reviews, I have a remote that no longer functions.  I am pretty sure the problem is actually on the unit, not the remote which is even more disconcerning.  DVD play is frustrating at best without the remote and at worst you can not view discs at all that force you through an opening menu.  In addition, I have had problems reading some DVDs at all and had problems with the picture breaking up on others.  The only reason this gets 2 stars is because it was cheap and the VCR still works with a universal remote.
