Panasonic PV-D4752 DVD-VCR Combo
works fine-- so far. maybe i'm lucky
I bought mine about a year ago (though not from Amazon), and I've had no problems at all. If I had read through these reviews, I probably would have steered clear of the unit.<br />I got mine really cheaply at a mega-warehouse place near my house where I tend to shop more for a six-months' supply of diapers and toilet paper than consumer electronics.<br />It's sort of boring really, just works without incident. I don't know if I like Panasonic per se, but because this combo unit worked out fine I also picked up a really cheap receiver to go along with it, and that also has been just fine.<br />I guess I was lucky to get an ok one.
