Samsung DVD-V3500 Progressive-Scan DVD/VCR Combo
Loud whirring noise
I just recently purchased the v3500 and was impressed with all the features it has to offer. However, this unit made a LOUD whirring noise while playing VHS tapes and an even LOUDER whirring noise while tracking. I tried it with both the standard connection as well as the line connection. I even tried it w/ the upgraded wires I bought. The noise is definitely in the mechanics of the unit. Before returning it, I purchased a second unit from Best Buy and it had the same problem. I am returning both.  The DVD portion did not have that problem.
