Samsung DVD-V2000 DVD-VCR Combo
Fairly happy in Arizona
I purchased this unit for the same reason that many others did...space was at a premium.  I had to return the first one after 2 weeks, since there was noticable &quot;static&quot; in the audio whenever I taped a program off my cable system.  There was no static on prerecorded tapes, and the source was not the signal. I exchanged the unit, and the second one seems to be working very well. I do not find it &quot;noisy&quot; as others have said at all (other than the problem I mentioned...which was most likely a faulty recording head on the VCR side).  We've watched 3 or 4 DVD's and they seem to play perfectly fine.  While I'm pleased--so far--, this is the first time I've ever had to return a product of this type. I don't know for sure, but it certainly doesn't seem to have the same feel and quality as my old faithful 10 yr old Sony VCR---which unfortunately just started eating tapes in its old age!!
