GoVideo DVR4200 DVD-VCR Combo
No go video
I just recently bought this DVD/VCR player.  It was very easy to set up and play, but right from the get-go I noticed that the dvd picture looked a bit stretched(elongated).  I'm a huge fan of widescreen dvds and didn't like the look of the picture.  The reason I noticed it was that I also have a SONY dvd player and compared the pictures.  The bars of the GV player are thinner than the bars of the SONY showing that the picture is indeed elongated.  The picture and people just looked more natural with the SONY player, but those without comparison might not notice the difference.  It depends on what you are used to.<br />Also another thing I REALLY, REALLY don't like about the machine is the remote control.  The search and skip button are the exact same button!! So if I want to fast forward/scan a little bit I accidentally skip to the next scene instead.  It's very frustrating.<br />And for those that are planning to record DVDs to VHS, don't hold your breath.  You can only record DVDs that don't have Macrovision(some type of anti-recording protection) and most original DVDs will have it.  I've also tried a CD-R and it didn't recognize it even though GV says it will play CD-Rs.<br />I have no complaints about the VCR.  It works great.<br />Basically, you get what you pay for.  This is a low price machine and you can't expect it to be exceptional.  If you just want to watch a movie and don't care about the look or anything else and want to save space, go ahead and buy it.  Otherwise, I would recommend just buying separate players.  <br />p.s.  I am not endorsing the SONY player.  DO NOT buy SONY DVD players.  They have different sets of problems all their own plus a court case against them.  Check the web for those reviews<BR>if you don't believe me.  Just don't do it.
