Strengths: Excellent VCR recording and playback, superb DVD quality, plays a wide variety of formats.
Weaknesses: It is somewhat difficult to master its many features--one must read the instruction book very carefully--but the time spent is well worth the effort.
Summary: I have owned many VCRs and this machine is far superior to them all in its recording capability and in the playback quality. It even improves the quality of tapes recorded on older machines. The DVD player plays both + and - formats (the instruction book and the box claim it only plays the - format). Also plays video CDs that I have created on the computer. The audio output is fantastic using a digital optical cable. This combo unit contains a host of useful features, but one must be patient when learning how to use them. For example, I could not understand why the on-screen display for the VCR would not work until I discovered that I had to activate "superimpose" in the menu first. But once you master all the features you will realize what a true gem this machine is.

Strengths: DVD PLAYER/VCR & RECORD & PLAYBACK SUPERIOR IMAGE SUPER VHS VCR!
Weaknesses: NONE SO FAR
Summary: BOUGHT THIS ITEM THINKING IT MAY NOT BE OF QUALITY BECAUSE OF THE PRICE. BUT BOY, WAS I WRONG! HAVING MANY SUPER VHS TAPES FROM THE PAST. RECORDINGS FROM MY OUT OF DATE LAZER DISK WITH MY NOW DEFUNCT OLD S-VHS VCR; THIS COMPONENT IS TOP NOTCH QUALITY WITH IT'S ADDED DVD PLAYER,IT'S DTS,EX,DOLBY PROLOGIC (3) S-VIDEO HOOKUPS 2 IN BACK & 1 IN FRONT AND SAME NUMBER OF AUDIO HOOKUPS PLUS AN EXTRA SPARE COMPONENT AUDIO VIDEO HOOKUP. THIS UNIT WOULD HAVE EASILY COST A THOUSAND DOLLARS JUST 6 OR 7 YEARS AGO. THIS UNIT BEATS MY PAST S-VHS SYSTEM BY $600.00 PLUS THIS HAS MANY, MANY MORE FEATURES. PAID ONLY $169.99 TOTAL COST DELIVERED! WHAT A BARGAIN! GONNA GET ANOTHER ONE; JUST TO HAVE AROUND! AND ONE MORE TO GIVE MY LADY FOR A GIFT!
