Toshiba SD-V280 DVD-VCR Combo, Silver
Not bad for a non-techie
I know nothing about audio-video equipment, but this was really a snap to set-up. I don't own any DVDs to test that part of the machine, but the video that I have in right now looks simply beautiful, much better than other VCRs I have owned. The images are crisp and clean.<br />As far as the remote goes, yes, it is a little confusing, but I followed the manual for setting it up and I had no problem. I wish it had a little more structure and substance (it seems almost kind of flimsy). Still, I was able to get the machine running in a matter of minutes.<br />My only other issue is that the cable TV that now feeds through the DVD/VCR seems a bit muddled (the picture is fuzzy, but I haven't really tightened any of the connections yet and I don't remember how fuzzy it was before), so it could be due to that. I look forward to learning how to go from stereo to surround-sound, and the manual seems to provide that kind of info. I am truly impressed with this device!
