Samsung DVD-V2000 DVD-VCR Combo
Noisy and dirty
When I first got this as a gift I was happy to finaly have a DVD player, but two months later, I'm very unhappy.  It has a lot of trouble reading DVD discs I rent from Blockbuster.  My girlfriend's Sony on the other hand can read them all without a hicup.  Then the VCR sort of stopped working, until I banged on the unit hard out of frustration one night.  It's now working again, but I'm scared it'll ruin my high-grade videotapes.  The paint in one corner is coming off; not from my bang, tho.!  If I spent money to buy another one, I'd go with a Sony or Toshiba.  This increasinly feels like junk quality.
