Sylvania DVC860D DVD/VCR Combo
Don't waste your money
We received this DVD/VCR player as a gift less than 6 months ago.  In that time, we've had trouble with the remote (certain buttons just stopped working) and with the DVD laser.  When I called for warranty service on both problems, I was given the run-around.  It took over a month before I received a replacement remote control (which, thankfully, came at no charge and was covered by warranty).  In addition, the DVD player, after getting progressively worse, now no longer plays DVD's.  When I called the company, what advice did I get?  &quot;Well, have you tried unplugging the unit and plugging it back in?&quot;  Needless to say, that quick fix wasn't a success.  Now I'm stuck with the option of paying $50-60 to get the DVD player repaired (parts are covered for 1 year, but labor for only 90 days) or just scrapping this piece of junk and starting over.  The only redeeming quality is the VCR--so far we've had no problems (though after reading other reviews, I'm almost afraid to put any more tapes in the slot).
