Magnavox MDV530VR DVD/VCR Combo
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY
Shame on me for not doing my homework first or at least reading these reviews prior to purchasing a machine.  A short time after having this dual VCR/DVD we encountered problems.  Of course it started after the huge 90-day warranty period.  We encountered jammed/torn up tapes and new movies in the VCR slot, blinking errors and a load humming like that of a 747 jet.  We tried getting it fixed three times from an independant store w/ no luck. Like they say you can't polish ______. Magnavox agreed to send us another DVD/VCR for $100.  No thanks.  Do not waste your $$, buy another brand - this one is a true junker.  Try Sony or another reputable brand - I have had good luck w/ Panasonic.
