JVC HR-XVC1U DVD-VCR Combo
Excellent choice for combination
After reading several reviews on this item, I purchased it as a Christmas gift.  My brother liked it a lot, so I decided to get one for my wife and me.  I'm really glad I did.  It's pretty easy to set up and use, and the playback is excellent in both the VCR and DVD modes.  The remote also operates my JVC TV.  This is a great choice if you're looking for a quality combination player from a trusted name in electronics.
