GoVideo DVR5100 Progressive Scan DVD-VCR Combo
New York Times rated this number 1??
The DVD play back is outstanding, though the 360 degree round button used for fast forward and rewind is tough to master. <br />My unit started failing on the sound playback of Videotapes.  Sound got softer then quit completely.  I cleaned the heads, to no avail.  It must go for repair,  warranty is only 90 days for labor, one year for parts.  Estimated repair labor is $60.00<br />I recommend not buying any DVD/ VCR without a 1 year warranty.  For [item price] I would have expected this unit to function for at least a year!  I have a 10 year old VCR and an 8 year old one that still work fine,  cannot understand why a 6 month old VCR should fail.<br />Note also that the instruction manual that comes with this does not address all questions, and that online manual is just a .pdf of the printed one.  This forces you to call the 800 number, with waits of up to 30 minutes on hold, to get your questions answered.
