JVC HR-XVC33U Progressive-Scan DVD/VCR Combo , Silver
Good performance for me
I haven't yet had a problem with the DVD player on this unit.  The VCR seems to work OK too, and I figured out how to program timer recording easily.  A cool feature is that it reads your tape and tells you how much time you have left on it to record when you aren't sure if you have room for a program.  The only real drawback I had was the hookup instructions.  They were needlessly complicated and could have been written a lot simpler than they were.  Once I figured out what I needed to do, hookup was a breeze.  But the reading the directions made it harder, not easier.
