Samsung DVD-V2000 DVD-VCR Combo
Excellent easy-to-use DVD-VHS player
I recently purchased the Samsung DVD-V2000 DVD-VHS for my dad and I wasn't sure what to expect. He is 72 and has a big VHS collection that he doesn't want to give up and he also has started buying DVDs. He is not a big gadget fan so I started looking for a unit that had the fewest number of control buttons and was the easiest to operate.<br />After looking at several other manufacturers and models, including those that were significantly more expensive that this one, I chose the Samsung DVD-V2000, and both my dad and I are very happy with it. This unit is super easy to operate. There are two buttons in front that allow you to play either VHS or DVD. Then another bank of buttons for play, fast forward, back, pause, and rewind. That's it. It has to be one of the easiest to use DVD-VHS units on the market. I was also pleased with the picture quality of the DVDs, VCDs and VHS tapes that I played on it. <br />The only downside that I found is the Samsung DVD-V2000 will only play the standard movie DVD and DVD-R formats. It does not support the DVD+R, DVD+RW and DVD+RAM formats. So if you have a DVD burner that only uses the DVD+RW and DVD+R formats, like I do, you won't be able to play them in this unit. Still, for most people this shouldn't be a problem. ...Overall, it's a great unit if you are looking for something that is easy to use and without a lot of bells and whistles.
