Sony SLV-D100 DVD-VCR Combo
Good Unit
I couldn't decide whether to buy a DVD player or a VCR (I didn't have room for both) and realized that I could have both with a combo unit.  I looked over some of the units offered by various companies and decided to go with Sony, mostly because of the name.  I wasn't disappointed; this unit works wonderfully well.  Connecting to a TV is easy and the instructions that come with it are easy to understand.<br />The DVD player is excellent and I have not had any problems (unlike other reviewers) with skipping or pausing of the DVD movies I have played.  The picture is clear and crisp and the sound quality is excellent.<br />My only complaint thus far with this unit is the VCR.  It works well enough and it is quiet but the picture quality when you record isn't quite up to par.  Videos I have rented or bought play well enough, however, anything I record doesn't have a real sharp picture.  I thought it might be the tapes I bought to record on, but I have tried two other brands and received the same results.<br />I haven't tried any CDs or CD-Rs in this unit yet so I can't comment on those.<br />All in all I give the Sony SLV-D100, 4 stars - taking off 1 star for the sub-par VCR, and the high price.
