Zenith XBV443 Progressive Scan DVD / VCR Combo
A lotta bang for the buck
Bought this unit last year and so far it hasn't given me any problems.  The DVD side has played everything I've thrown at it (DVD, DVD-R, CDs, Jpeg files), with the exception of a couple of DVD-Rs that wouldn't play on any of my players.  I don't use the VCR a lot, but I haven't had any trouble with the auto tracking or playback of pre-recorded tapes or tapes that were recorded on other players.  The VCR picture quality is a little soft (particulary if you record at EP), but not appreciably worse than my Panasonic or Toshiba. <br /> <br />I don't know what the previous reviewer was smoking, but to say that the DVD player was great and then to give the unit only \\"one star\\" seems pretty lame.  Media specialist or media idiot?  This DVD/VCR combo is a great unit to have as long as you have some sort of knowledge on how to properly operate a DVD player or VCR.  And that shouldn't be a problem for anybody with an average IQ or better.
