Zenith XBV442 Progressive-Scan DVD/VCR Combo
Should have listened to the bad reviews...
This VCR/DVD really is a bad one.  I read mixed reviews on Circuit City's website, but still went ahead and bought it b/c the price was low and it was for my kids' playroom.  I wasn't going to get an expensive one with a five-year-old and two-year-old running around...and I wanted one I could teach them to work.<br /><br />Well, I shot myself in the foot - try telling two impatient little ones why you're spending ten minutes trying to get the darn thing to work!  Within a month or two the VCR stopped rewinding halfway through the rewind process, which was a big warning noted in the reviews.  I have to manually hold the button down and it rewinds with the movie ONSCREEN.  Imagine how long that takes.  I went out and bought a rewinder (another 12 bucks) and THAT broke within two weeks!  It's kind of comical - I have to run all the way across the house to another VCR to rewind tapes whenever the kids want to watch them.<br /><br />I also have the audio static problem here and there.  My husband and I have finally figured out that if you turn the TV to Channel 4 and then back to 3, the static goes away.  However, my kids can't really understand that concept so they get frustrated and I come running...<br /><br />Overall, this was NOT worth the cheap price.  It's more trouble than it's worth.  DON'T BUY IT!
