Sony SLV-D500P DVD/VCR Combo
Unit has worked great.
I've had this combo player since early summer 2004. It replaced a Samsung combo player which was junk. (Stay away from Samsung products - but that's not what this review is about.) <br /> <br />The Sony's performance has been flawless. One of the things I most like about it is its ability to read different media - DVD+-R/RW. I have a newer Sony DVD changer which only reads DVD+R/RW. <br /> <br />There are a couple of minor quibbles (noted by others). The progressive scan button is annoying - you can only change it on the unit itself and sometimes you have to work with it to turn it on or off. The other thing is that when you turn the unit back on sometimes it seems that the output selection has been changed and you have to work with it. <br /> <br />I've noted several reviewer gripes about this unit and this one must have been in a production run after the kinks were worked out.
