Samsung DVD-V1000 DVD-VCR Combo
Good buy, good pic and sound, convenience (but VCR's loud)
This is a terrific unit and a good value for money. The good stuff: I was able to throw away my CD player, my VCR and my MP3 player and I got a DVD player with it all in one nice slim package. I can watch DVDs while recording TV programs with the VCR! The DVD picture quality and sound is great, although I find the DVD slow to respond to commands from the remote. The bad stuff: One flaw though (and I read this from other people too) the VCR is loud. The motors inside make a lot of noise when playing back tapes or recording. This is especially annoying if you have the VCR in your bedroom and you're recording some late night program when you usually sleep.
