DVD-RW Recorder/VCR Combo with dts Digital Output
Sansui VRDVD5000  BEST VALUE!
I did a lot of research before I bought this machine.  I had heard about numerous problems with the Emerson/Sylvania brands although you can get them for the cheapest prices (in the $169 range now).  And there were bad reviews on their customer service.  I have a Sansui VCR now and never had a problem with it, very easy to use.  So when I saw all the features packed into this unit at such a good price (I bought mine for $192 on sale), I jumped at the deal.  This unit has more features for the money than any other unit out there.  And it works prefectly....no problems.  I recommend it.  The only thing is that only 4x disks can be used and it doesn't read photo CDs.  I have seen other units that use 8x disks.  Overall, you can't beat it for feature and price.
