Zenith XBV443 Progressive Scan DVD / VCR Combo
avoid this machine!!
We have owned this dvd/vcr combo player for about 9 months now.  It is awful!  The DVD player in particular is very poor.  Often, the video will freeze, but the audio will continue and it will \\"skip\\".  Also, many DVD's do not played properly.  One movie that has the deleated scenes added back in will stop playing whenever it comes to an extra scene.  Other times it will continue to play as it is supposed to.  Also, home made DVD's with multiple chapters will sometimes play only the first chapter, sometimes not.  On my dauaghters Baby Einstein, it will often only play the Spanish version and not allow us to access the DVD menu to play it in English.  Other times it will.  It is so inconsistant that it is unreliable.  The VCR seems to function properly, although it is not used as often.
