Panasonic PV-VD4743S Progressive Scan DVD/VCR Combo
Perfect solution for kids!
Since we are forced to keep VHS on the shelf (you know, the purple dinosaur problem), this offered an excellent replacement strategy for our older electronics (which managed to eat several household items mysteriously... did I mention my son is 18 months old?).  We mounted all of our home entertainment equipment on a 6' high shelf and the dual nature of the PV-VD4743K allowed us to get Dolby through our entire system: there's one less set of connections with the combo.  Needless to say, I hooked up the rear channel speakers (on brackets near the ceiling) and we're enjoying sound that we haven't had in a while (since that darn purple dinosaur showed up).  We're getting excellent quality from both sides of the PV-VD4743K, playing the latest generation DVD's with Dolby Surround, and also those 12-year-old-hand-me-down Barney tapes.  Those Barney kids must be out of college by now!  The only pieces of A/V equipment that I couldn't mount at ceiling height is the TV and the Subwoofer. (Now what could an 18 month old boy possibly do to those?)
