Sylvania DVR90VE DVD Player/Recorder and Hi-Fi VCR Combo
Super Value
This was one where I was hoping for the best but a bit dubious of what I might end up with at this price.  As it turns out I was very pleasantly surprised.  Easy to use with clear instructions, I was dubbing home videos to dvd 15-20 minutes out of the box.  Easy hook up with digital/HD cable involved.  High quality DVD picture, both playing and recording (dubbing from VCR or recording from TV).  VCR portion does a nice job too.  The copies and recordings I have made using DVD-R media work perfectly on 3 different DVD players in my house (each a different brand at a different price point bought at different times), so compatability doesn't seem to be an issue.  I would have to say that the quality I got was much more than I expected for the money.
