Samsung DVD-V3500 Progressive-Scan DVD/VCR Combo
DVD player stops working after 10 months
I bought this DVD-VCR combo in December 2003.  In August of 2004, the DVD player started giving a \\"Disc cannot be played, please check the disc\\" message, intermittently.  By the end of September, it stopped loading and playing DVDs completely.  I called Samsung, and after a week or two of calling back and forth, they agreed to send me a prepaid mailing label so I could ship my player back to them.  Within two weeks of returning it, they sent me a refurbished player.  Now, 10 months later, it has the exact same problem as my orginial player.  DVDs will no longer play.  I have been in contact again with Samsung, and have been waiting for a call back from them for a week now, to see if they will again send me a replacement.  Judging from other reviews, this is a common problem with this player.  Don't waste your money on it.  Personally, I would not trust any Samsung product based on my experience with this DVD-VCR combo player.
