Samsung DVD-V2000 DVD-VCR Combo
works alright when it's working
I've been reading most of the postings here and must admit I have not noticed any undue noise from this unit (many have complained of this) and I think that the picture quality is okay.  I've generally been satisfied with the picture, sound, etc. but have had a problem with it powering off occasionally.  I have only seem one review that mentioned this problem so far.  <br /> <br />We purchased this unit about a year and a half ago.  For quite some time now, it has developed the habit of completely powering off unexpectedly, usually while a DVD is playing, sometimes while my son is playing his PS2 which is hooked up through the unit.  I don't use this DVD-VCR player as much as my kids do, so it seems as though they were just putting up with it and not mentioning it to me for quite some time. It sometimes just needs to be turned back on, but on occasion it keeps turning off, over and over. Sometimes it even ejects the DVD. <br /> <br />Luckily I have an extended warranty which I finally put into use this week because as I was sitting watching TV a few days ago, the thing just powered up on it's own...and then powered off....spooky.  The remote was nowhere near me and I was ALL ALONE.... <br /> <br />Of course, even the techs at Best Buy told me, they may not be able to replicate the problem since it is intermittent.  They only had it a few days, they reset this and that, cleaned this and that and promised that if it happened again they would replace it.  I wonder if they've been getting a lot of complaints since they seemed to be so easygoing about it. <br /> <br />It has been a problem so I wouldn't recommend this unit, you could probably do better.
