Toshiba SD-V391 Progressive Scan DVD-VCR Combo , Silver
Loved it till it broke
Loved the easy hook-up, easy use of remote, looked nice and played fine.  Purchased 11-06-03, and the DVD part stopped without warning 05-29-04.  The kids never touched this one; it was all for Mommy and therefore subject to only gentle use.  Now if you put a DVD in, it takes a long time to load, then comes up &quot;ERR.&quot;  And now the door makes a grinding noise when it opens.  Severely disappointed, heartbroken, etc.  Apparently VCRs, DVD players, and these combo units are meant to be disposable - work six months and then discard.  If so, we may as well disregard brand names and buy the cheapest ones available.  Forget quality, reliability, and pride of workmanship - those are things of the past.
