Magnavox MDV530VR DVD/VCR Combo
This model sucks.  Don't buy.
My wife and I purchased two of these units for our daughters' families last year at Christmas (2003).  Just as everyone else explained, they lasted about 6 months and the DVD player quit working. <br /> <br />I don't know why the guy that posted a 5-star rating on this unit, and says to not complain about Philips or Magnavox, can make such a claim considering what all of us other \\"non-experienced electronics users\\" have to say about this unit (I'm a both a computer services program manager and video/dvd producer, and have never considered myself so unknowledgeable about electronics). <br /> <br />Perhaps he bought from a different lot.  It would be interesting to find out.  Mine says \\"Manufactured:D  August 2003\\".  Maybe if others are from the same lot, we can contact our Attorney General and file something to cause a recall.
