Panasonic PV-VD4743S Progressive Scan DVD/VCR Combo
Excellent DVD plus VCR in one
First off, everyone should know that a DVD/VCR combo machine such as this Panasonic will not allow you to tape DVDs you rent at Blockbuster!  Most DVDs have Macrovision anti-copying technology which makes it impossible to copy to a VHS tape without a hacked VCR machine.  You can, however, tape your own home-movie DVDs made on a PC.<br />As with their stand-alone DVD and VCR products, the Panasonic is an excellent machine that's easy to use, buit to last, and offers great video quality on all kinds of TV sets.  The remote control unfortunately is a bit more complicated than necessary, but that doesn't distract from the good overall design of the machine itself.  The biggest advantage of an integrated DVD/VCR is that it saves space and cables.  The biggest downside is if one thing breaks, you have to fix the whole unit.  Luckily, Panasonic is known of its excellent quality control, and my first VCR purchased 15+ years ago, a Panasonic, still works to this very day!  My family owns a few Panasonic DVD players -- I have a big family -- and they all work flawlessly, including my first DVD player which I bought back in 1999, at the dawn of DVD age.<br />Finally, I personally prefer to silver model, because it looks high-tech and looks stunning under my black Xbox. :)
