Sony SLV-D500P DVD/VCR Combo
Works great, but just one prob.....
I don't have any issues with noise, like the other posters, and the progressive scanning is simple to use. I've viewed new and old VHS tapes, recorded with it, works perfect. I've played CDS, MP3s and DVD-R with no prob.I've had no problems using rented (and worn, scratched) DVDs and most of the time it works perfect. However, just about every other DVD I watch will \\"lock up\\" in the middle of a movie, (pausing, but the only way to release the pause would be to skip back a few frames and push play) not the DVDs-happens with new ones as well. The local repair shop apparently can't work on combo players and I would have to ship it to Sony on my own---not worth risking it to me, so I'll just live with that one prob.--other than that--I happened to get it cheap, because the older model I picked out was out of stock, so I got it as they just received it in store that day at the older model's price....so I think it was worth it, and I'm happy with it...
