Samsung DVDV5500 DVD/VCR Combination Dual Deck
Fine after 6 months
I have one of these that is working just fine after about 6 months, though it appears from other reviews that a year may be the critical test.  My only slight criticism is that the recording quality on the VCR for extended play is not as good as I've had on prior VCRs, and it has no in-between \\"LP\\" speed. Otherwise, life is good. Counting down for the next six months!  P.S. I originally wrote this review in Feb. 2006 and am updating it 7 months later.  The machine is still doing just fine. The 6-month jinx may be broken!
