Samsung DVD-V 70

Worked really well originally VCR is very good, best quality I've seen from VHS Easy to use

DVD player is TERRIBLE. Awful, awful, awful It doesn't play DVD-Rs (at least in my experience) Region-locked, single region only VCR Recorder incredibly unreliable - often cuts off recordings part way through, or never starts them at all No progressive...

Versatility of a dual video cassette recorder and also digital video disc player. Easy to use and good to have a VCR capability as well as the DVD. Not so many video players on the market now.

Doesn't have an inbuilt hard drive. It is difficult to copy old video tapes onto DVDs. Would be more versatile if it also had a hard drive.

vhs player worked fine but could of easy got a video player for 10 dollar at a yardsale

dvd player was horrible worked maybe twice if i put in a brand new dvd it will say check disk

I like the VCR side of things, it is easy to operate and program, it has not given an ounce of trouble.

The DVD side has only played 3 DVDs in its entire life (about 5 years) a message just comes up saying this disc cannot be played please check the disc, so I have given up on it, I guess I'll be considering a different brand next time.

Easy to use

The DVD is hopeless one day it will play the movie the next day it won't play the same movie, stops half way through for no apparent reason and the kids movies if they have got fingerprints on the disk will not play at all or you just get continued...

Works very well with Foxtel. I have an ancient telly with coaxial being the only input. I have sound out straight to the stereo and picture via coaxial cable which is now the best picture I've ever had in the last 18 years on this telly (due to Foxtel...

Playback of some DVD's is not even worth mentioning, I think NTSC or whatever it is. MP3 playback is garbage also, freezing up at times. It also has trouble with burnt audio discs.

The obvious of having the two units in one. Large display so can still see if a distance away. Light weight and compact.

The remote is very chunky and the button pad of low quality as one button broke off within 2 weeks. Also, the video auto tracking is hopeless which I guess they had some idea as that put these buttons on the remote for you to do your self!

Looks good, and performs just as well. Reliable so far (don't want to jinx myself) and has many features e.g YPbPr, S-VHS, Co-Ax S/P DIF, and the 6 head stereo VCR is outstanding. Instruction manual in reasonable English, and set-up is intuitive.

Can't copy DVD to Tape, although it may be possible with external cables. No Fibreoptic S/P DIF output. LED display doesn't continue to show I/P channel during recording.

Having one machine instead of two machines is what really appealed. Also being able to tape on the VCR whilst watching a DVD is great. Also being able to copy from a DVD to the VCR is a great benefit.

I haven't had any problems with mine yet and I have had a few years now. I suppose when (if it ever does) break down you then lose both your VCR and DVD player in one hit.

Supports DiVX.

Everything! NTSC playback is horrible, the screen looks terrible even though it's plugged into a $4K widescreen tv. DVD just stopped working! I rang the support centre who are rude. One consultant "Mary" decided that she didn't want to help me anymore...
