Samsung SV-5000W Worldwide VHS Format VCR
Don't buy it, Cheap & Nasty, Poor Quality, Terrible Heads
I really don't recommend this.  I bought it a year ago and had to repair it many times.  After only 3 months, with regular cleaning, the heads shows wear and the picture quality was poor.  Also, the displays on the VCR are absolutely useless.  You don't know whether it's playing or rewinding.  It doesn't tell you.  The machine itself is cheaply made....  This is the worst product I've ever bought.  Now with its short life, it keeps ejecting my tapes and I can't play anything.  I bought this machine because we moved from Australia to USA and had plenty of Aussie PAL tapes, mainly for my kids.  We also have 2 other VCRs, it's not like we overused it.  Learn from our mistakes, never Samsung again....  I'm really mad.  I could have bought a really nice top-of-the-range VCR that plays PAL & NTSC from Australia for half the price.  All I had to do was buy a power converter from 240V to 110V.  My next trip I will be doing that....  Hope this helps, I hate for anyone else to waste their money.  I'm so dissapointed.
