Zenith XBV243 Dual Deck DVD-VCR Combo
Good quality playback on VHS and DVD, but poor design
Picture and sound quality are good, but there are several major design flaws and lack of features.  If the electricity goes off, all eight programs need to be reset - not just the clock.  There are eight programs, but in order to record daily, seven days per week, you have to use up three of those eight programs - one for Mon.-Fri., one for Sat. and one for Sun.  Setting start and stop times takes forever, because you can't key in the numbers - you have to use the arrows. The directions say that the power must be off for the timer to work, but that is not true.  While the power is on, the timer will still come on and record over a tape that you don't want to record over.
