Toshiba SD-V280 DVD-VCR Combo, Silver
Remote control won't control TV <-- Shame
It was a great idea to buy this unit instead of buying VCR and DVD players separately.  I checked all the specs, inputs, outputs, etc., and was OK with them.  Except one I did not check ... Will the remote from this combo operate a TV?  This feature was so given that it did not even occurred to me to check it.  For last ten years remote control from every single VCR player I bought, could operate many different brands of TVs.<br />I also tried universal remote controls.  They would not work with the combo b/c appearantly Toshiba came up with the new IR control codes that universal controls don't yet know about.<br />Anyway, I am dissapointed in Toshiba.  They lost a loyal customer and a big fan.  I am returning this unit back.  I am not used to use two remote control units to just perform one simple task like watch a DVD.
