Samsung DVD-V3650 Progressive Scan DVD/VCR Combo
Works well!
I bought this unit three weeks ago. I was originally after the SONY but after all the bad reviews I went with Samsung -- about $50 cheaper as well. I have played a dozen DVDs all from Blockbuster and haven't had a problem with any of them. I've also recorded about 12 hours of VCR at both SP and SLP with no problems as well. I did find that reading the manual is only usefull for understanding all the extras. Basic operation is best by just using your intuition and trying it! It is easier to use than to try and read the manual first! My only gripe is I wish VCR recording had an LP mode as well. I am very pleased at its solid performance to date!
