Toshiba SD-V392 DVD/VCR Combo , Silver
pretty disappointing
Gripe #1: Ridiculously bad user interface. Rather than come up with a big list, I think I can summarize the poor quality of the interface with a single point: when setting up a timer program, you cannot use the number keys to type in *either* the time *OR* the channel. I have to press that stupid little up arrow/down arrow key over and over again to get to the desired minute *AND* the desired channel. Ooof what a pain. (Note: if you're smart and think ahead you can put the vcr on the channel you want to record on *before* you go into programming mode, but if you want to do 2 programs on very far apart channels....) In any case, what a lousy job of making it easy to use. This is just one of a bunch of little annoying useability problems.    Gripe #2: stuttering DVD playback. It's not the DVD's fault because it plays fine on other players. In fact, if you pause it for a moment, or rewind a little, it will play back the same part w/o stuttering, and then start stuttering again a few seconds later!    Gripe #2 was the last straw for me, I'm getting rid of it and getting a regular ol' dedicated DVD player.
