Zenith XBV342 Progressive-Scan DVD-VCR Combo
Mine worked well for a while
It's possible that I just got a lemon, but my XBV342 crapped out after less than a year of use.  The warranty covers one year on parts and 90 days on labor, but I have no proof of when I bought it (my fault, but it still sucks.)<br />I took the player to a local electronics repair shop who told me the laser needed replacing, and that a new one would cost just as much as buying a new player.  What a waste.<br />Until it quit working, this was an excellent player.  It would have been nice to be able to play VCDs or DVD-R discs, but it could do neither.  I thought I would use the VCR quite a bit, but truthfully, I used it maybe 4 or 5 times out of 6 or 7 months.  Next time I get a DVD player, I'm going to get a non-combo player that plays DVD-R and/or VCDs - this time I'll keep my receipt, ESPECIALLY if I buy a Zenith.
