Samsung DVD-V2000 DVD-VCR Combo
Very poor VCR recording--worse than my 16-year old Hitachi!
I bought this unit thinking I would be upgrading my 16-year old (!) VCR, and working my way into DVD with one convenient unit.  First disappointment:  there is no LP setting on the VCR--something I consider basic, even with my ancient Hitachi unit (which works great, though the sound quality when tapes are played back on other units is bad).  Second disappointment:  even on the SP setting, the recordings were just horrible--grainy, worse than my old VCR recordings even on the lowest setting quality.  I think this is a poor union of products--others have commented on the bad DVD playback.  Samsung has work to do.  I'm returning this today.  The only positive thing--shopping at Amazon is great.  They are making it very easy for me to send this back, and I will continue to try to find a good product.  But more research is in order--and I'm not sure that any of these 2-in-1 units is up to par in quality.
