Less than expected from Samsung
The display does not show seconds of a tape/disk position, the remote control is not well design and looks and feels cheaply including small and not well located buttons, and the quality of workmanship leaves to wish.But, the 4 Head Hi-Fi VCR plays back and records on VHS tapes very well, and the DVD player plays superbly DVD discs including DVD-R, DVD+R, as well as VCD and SVCD discs all burned on both typical computer Toshiba and LG writers using generic, Maxell,... blanks under Nero, DVD Decrypter, 1 Click DVD Copy, Power Producer, unless rarely an *.IFO file is messed up. The quality of Dolby Surround compatible sound and picture with the added visual clarity of Progressive scan is excellent in any of the formats: MP3, JPEG, WMA playback, DivX. The available Coaxial, Composite video, S-video connection options are typical. Layout of keys and buttons is well designed, and their size is appropriate - simple and clear. There is a 7-event/1-month recording timer, and also one-touch recording to activate 30-minutes of recording time per button push on the remote control.

Skips and Freezes
This player will not play my Sony brand DVD-R's.It loads and tries to play but skips a lot.I did get a Memorex DVD+R to play.Samsung's tech support told me when it comes to playing burned DVD's it all depends on "What program you use to burn disks, the brand of disk and what format you are using."Wow...I just want to put a disk in and have it play.I have a $25 cheapo that plays all formats.For $100 you can do better than this unit.

Can't Play Most Burned Discs
Main reason I bought this:divx and xvid playback.This player cannot play most burned discs, and even the ones that it will load, it won't play all the files.I tried DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW.I tried multiple brands of each.The only brand it would play were some cheapy DVD+R's.It would list all 12 files on the disc.Each file was the same...652x324 DiVx, pretty much the same size, but this player would only play the first FOUR files...it choked on anything else.I would not recommend this if you're going to be using a lot of burned media. ...

Good buy
Customer reviews helped me make this my choice for sending a new TV to my Dad.He was thrilled with the quality of the picture -extremely clear- and good colors. The integrated DVD player and Video are a big plus too.Delivery was extremely fast and the product arrived in good condition.

Great Deal for a bedroom tv.
This is not a time-tested review, but my initial tests proved that this a nice TV for the price. The DVD could read a dirty, scratched disc beyond the menu and minutes into the show. There is a VHS "Rental" feature to improve the quality of rented videos. The One-touch VCR recording is only controlled from the TV set itself (not the remote). There is no "Previous Channel" button on the remote, but you'll be using your cable/satellite remote anyway. Only 50 lbs., less than similar TVs from Insignia, Sylvania, Panasonic and Toshiba. Right out of the box, the black levels looked like they needed a boost, but overall the picture quality is great. ... Read more

TOTALLY UNRELIABLE
I bought the whole Sony system including the surround sound with this product.About 6 months after I bought it, the DVDs would occasionally fail to load.One would fail, and then the next 2 would work, and I just persisted on.When a DVD failed, it would not eject.It would take anywhere from 5 minutes to 8 hours to eject, turning the player on and off.Three out of four times I played a DVD, it NEVER failed to skip or freeze up.I've finally had it - I'm putting it in the Good Will box and getting something else.I was silly, silly for not returning the thing immediately, but I kept on having faith it would work itself out.NOT.

It has good and bad
Around the same time, we had bought two DVD players, a Mintek ($40) and this Sony ($200.) I have to say I like the Mintek a lot more. This Sony Combo is very picky on what DVD's I put! The Mintek is able to play ALL data, most video, and even a PAL DVD from Italy. But the Sony, which costs way too much more, is not even able to play any of that. :(. Although, the reliablility level is very good. It really has never given us any technological problems. But I am saddened to see that Sony dosen't allow so many kinds of DVD's. Also, we have had experiences when this DVD would freeze in between parts of movies.It does play DATA MP3 CD. (Which thats a good feature.) The VHS player is very good and has not given any problems. I would reccomend this to someone who dosen't use data CD's with , AVI or any type of media file.Also its good for DVD's which are either WORLD or NTSC region. If you are someone who watches only DVD's and VHS, than this is for you. Thanks and God Bless.

Picky, picky, picky!(the reviews, not the player)
I have read the reviews for this product, and I have been horrified by how nit-picking and petty some of them are. One star simply because it does not play a Sony disc? Just how many of those does the buyer have in proportion to discs from other manufacturers? And one star simply because it does not do every single thing you demand of it? Isn't that more than a little extreme?

Whether you're recording or playing back, GoVideo's VR2940 dual-format DVD recorder and VCR has convenience written all over it.

You get 8-event, 1-month timer recording and you can choose whether to record to tape or disc for each program item.Read more

Don't buy
I like many others have been robbed by GoVideo's VR2940. I don't want to rehash all of the other negative comments but this product is a waste of money that does not work.

HOW TO SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS
First of all, none of the negative reviews here have mentioned anyone attempting to clean their DVD Drive with a DVD Head Cleaner.You should do this FIRST before calling something a piece of junk, and you should make it clear that you are not technicially incompetent, as some of you apparently are.For example, How could a DVD player "Lock me out of my TV" ???And did you bother to FINALIZE your DVDs before trying to play them on a different piece of hardware?
FIX for many GoVideo VR2940 issues
I have been told that this model has a problem with its auto clock that can cause the unit to lock up.Just go into the setup menu, buried deep in the third or fourth column of the menu, at the bottom you will find Auto Clock-turn it OFF, this will help product reliability tremendously.I have also been told ther is no fix for this, so be sure to set it off and leave it off! ...

I've had this player for almost 5 years now, and it's been very good to me since I originally purchased it. It hasnt had any compatibility issues, and usually played without skipping.

3 months use out of an $80 VCR
I bought this VCR to replace a cheap $60 Magnavox that began having issues after 6 long years. As far as I knew Sony still had a good reputation in electronics, and perhaps it does, but the Sony SLV-N500 I bought was and is a horrible VCR. Terrible VCR
I bought this VCR to match my other Sony components.I assumed that the Sony name meant something.I had two other VCRs that stopped working which didn't surprise me since they were very cheap no name brands I purchased at Walmart.I hoped that if I bought a Sony VCR it would be my last.I was very wrong.After a month and a half the VCR started ruining tapes.Note that this is long enough to be out of warranty.Sony will let you send it back to get repaired, but the cost of doing so exceeds the price of a new VCR.DO NOT PURCHASE this item.You will be sorry you did.

Not worthy of Sony name
Sony brand has high reputation for quality. But for VCRs somehow Sony seems to have lost its focus. This was my second Sony VCR. I love Sony brand, so when the first VCR started chewing my tapes, I bought another Sony. This one doesn't chew the tapes, but its rewind is the slowest. It takes about 30 seconds to start rewinding. Ironically, fast rewind was an advertised feature. No more Sony VCRs for me.Read more

Two years later and I still love it
My wife bought this two years ago to replace using my ps2 as a dvd player.We use it at least once a week and we have been very pleased.We haven't had any problems with the VCR and the DVD player stopped working for about a week, but came back and we haven't had any problems since.Plus, since it's progressive scan it looks great on an HD TV.

avoid this machine!!
We have owned this dvd/vcr combo player for about 9 months now.It is awful!The DVD player in particular is very poor.Often, the video will freeze, but the audio will continue and it will "skip".Also, many DVD's do not played properly.One movie that has the deleated scenes added back in will stop playing whenever it comes to an extra scene.Other times it will continue to play as it is supposed to.Also, home made DVD's with multiple chapters will sometimes play only the first chapter, sometimes not.On my dauaghters Baby Einstein, it will often only play the Spanish version and not allow us to access the DVD menu to play it in English.Other times it will.It is so inconsistant that it is unreliable.The VCR seems to function properly, although it is not used as often.

Worked good for a while
I bought this item in March of 2005 and never had any problems. Until about November of 2005. Now when I put in a dvd it just keeps skipping around like the discs are scratched and they are perfectly brand new DVD's. I put in one of those dvd cleaner discs that have little brushes underneath them to clean the eye. Well that isn't the problem I guess because it didn't help any.

No Upgrade to use 16x DVD-R/+R media!
Save your money!
technology has caught up to this unit
So ive had this unit for almost a year and wanted to wait long enough to write a review on it, im usually not quick to judge and it was a good thing i waited. First let me tell you that I did some very, very thorough research before purchasing ANY of these barely new DVD/VHS recorders and it came down to this one and the panasonic one, after going over every single review on this website i noticed many complaints were based on the shipping and handling and that ovbiosuly has nothing to do with the quality of the unit itself so i thought they were both pretty even as far as the reviews but i went with this sony unit since i trust the brand and many of my other equipment is sony as well...let me tell you the first surprise was getting the unit in a heavily smashed box !!! I was then understanding why there were so many bad reviews on the handling of this unit. Luckily for me only the remote control cracked a bit but was still able to use it without any problems, the unit itself was very well secured so nothing was wrong with it but i will tell you guys this if you get it from amazon you get it at your own risk because the delivery guys are not careful at all so good luck first off getting it home safe.....
UNIT IS USER UNFRIENDLY -POORLY DESIGNED - NO RECORD BUTTON FOR VCR ON REMOTE - DVD RECORDER TOO COMPLEX - I RETURNED IT
I purchased this system and promptly returned it when I realized how difficult it was to use. It is what you might call "user unfriendly". In order to full understand this unit from the directions that come with it, you should have a degree in engineering, otherwise it is too complicated. I wonder what Sony was thinking when they designed this unit. No appliance should be so complicated to operate and understand. The basic set up was OK, but I could not record from TV, as stated in the manual. In addition, I attempted to burn a DVD on a DVD-R from VCR to DVD. I then tried to play it on another DVD player I had (not a sony) and it would not read it at all and gave me an error message that it was a "bad dvd".In other words, if you burn a DVD on this Sony system, you will only be able to watch it on their unit. I should think that a DVD-R or DVD-RW format should be universal and you would be able to play it on any DVD player. Not so. I also did not like the fact that the VCR had a record button on the unit itself, but not on the remote. So, if you wanted to record something with the VCR it was not convenient at all. One would expect a VCR and DVD Recorder unit to have the same capabilities and recording features, but it does not. I would not recommend this unit to anyone. Sony needs to take this garbage off the market and go back to the drawing board as far as their DVD recorder units go. Sony should also try to design a unit that is easy to understand, install and use. No one wants to go through the hassle that you will be subjected to if you bring this DVD Recorder/VCR home. By the way, the salesman at the store said that a lot of people who purchased this Sony unit, returned them for the same reasons I have mentioned. Take my advice: don't waste your time and money on this system. It is a real pain in the neck. I wouldn't give a 1 star rating for it, except that is the lowest you can go. In actuality, I would give this system a minus zero! ... Read more

JVC supplies consumers with the best possible format for high-resolution recording with this digital VHS recorder. The device connects to the latest HDTV and hi-res projector systems through its High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) or component output, letting users archive everything from HD content (1080i and 720p) to standard digital broadcasts to analog programming. Fortunately for viewers with big videotape collections, the recorder is also compatible with the traditional VHS format, so you can still watch old videotapes and movies, along with the more modern D-Theater format. Recording lengths depend on the cassette type and the content source, with top-end D-VHS cassettes offering up to 3.5 hours of HD recording and up to 35 hours of analog recording. Other compatible cassettes include S-VHS (doesn't record HD content), S-VHS ET, Hi-Fi VHS (for multichannel analog sources), and traditional VHS. The recorder even offers MPEG-2 CODEC encoding, which enables viewers to make digital recordings of analog NTSC programming or analog cassettes (a technology aided by the Frame Synchronizer).

Features

• Digital VHS recorder archives high-definition, standard, and analog sources

A Great HD VCR!
This is an awsome VCR.Should you buy one now that HD DVD and Blu-Ray is to be release?I say not! Yes the picture quality on a D-theater tape blows DVD away! I have "Passion of The Christ" On DVHS and the picture and sound is awsome,pure 1080i video.I been looking for some other titles and must are no longer availible.FOX still have some movies avalible on there website,but the thing is must of those movies will be on HD Disc real soon,and for those that are lucky will be able to watch 1080p,sorry my TV only goes up to 1080i,but I'm sure it will still look great.Well any way this JVC DVHS is a great VCR.It will tied me over untill HD DVD and Blu-Ray.

HD recording
I own the JVC HM-DH3000U and a Samsung 5688 1080p dlp projection TV with built in HD tuner.I receive HD from my trusty rabbit ears and record it via the firewire cable. The picture on playback is perfect!I also own a sizeable library of pre-recorded D-VHS movies.They are also stunning! Once you go HD it's hard to go back.I have read other reviews that state they can't record or playback via the firewire link.I don't think newer model HD sets have this issue.My Samsung certainly doesn't. When I record a HD broadcast I only need to press three buttons and it's recording a HDTV broadcast in full HD via the firewire. So....Having said that. I am seriously considering buying this or the other JVC D-VHS VCR that has a built in HD tuner!the HDMI input/output is very attractive and I think extends the life of the unit.Another major factor is the support for DTS.I own two D-VHS movies that have DTS tracks (Alien Directors cut and I-Robot).My 3000 only plays dolby tracks.The Dolby tracks are 500+ k.The DTS is 1500+k!!!!the difference is not subtle.D-VHS plays back video at 1080i with high FPS.When HD-DVD and Blu-Ray come out shortly they will not offer the FPS speed of these units!If you are serious about HD recording and don't mind spending the extra 10 seconds it takes to record, then this is the only way to go.Unfortunately most people have grown used to the convenience of chapter searches that DVD's offer (why I don't know)and other useless frills.When I watch a movie I do just that, I watch the movie.Quality never wins out over convenience.
Don't Make This Mistake
I was hoping to record off to tape some High Definition football games for those slow summer days.But it can't be done.Unless you have one of those 169Time machines with a satillite dish service. That is about the ONLY way to get a HD signal into this VCR.I have digital cable ... the cable box I-Link is incompatabile with this VCR, as are almost ALL from what I have read.I have an outdoor digital antenna that feeds a clear and perfect 1080i signal into the TV (and it looks GREAT) but this VCR only accepts and records 480i ant signals. I can record cable channels in 480i standard definition format up to channel 99, since this VCR will NOT receive any channel past that. This VCR does not perform the functions of most VCR's that are available at 1/5 the price.

Dead after 2 minutes
Can't say much for the video or sound quality, menu options, or anything really, since this thing broke after 2 minutes of watching Monsters, Inc. on DVD.Playback just froze, the thing stopped recognizing that DVDs were in unless you turned the thing off and then back on again, and after another minute it wouldn't even startplaying the thing at all, just whirred a lot.
Great for Price
I bought this DVD in January 2006 and have not regretted to this day.There is the issue of the eject button being absent but then again, when you eject via remote control, you still have to get up to get the DVD out of the player so maybe it is not so necessary to have an eject button.I've had no problems with this player playing my home made DVDs unlike others.It is a bit difficult to set up but besides that it is a great purchase.

Does not play DVD's from other regions

Last JVC I'll own
The unit picks up interference from my treadmill during tape playback and transmits it to the TV. The current JVC that I am trying to replace does not do this. JVC sent a replacement that does the same thing. Now I can't return the unit. JVC customer service says it isn't a defect and will only replace it again. Who wants another unit if it does the same thing? The auto function didn't work correctly - I finally had to manually program the channels. There is no backup battery system like on my current unit. If the power flickers, you have to reprogram everything. The display only show time and channel - you don't know where you are on the tape without pressing the display button and the display goes off after a few seconds. I used to be a loyal JVC customer but if this is the quality of JVC now, I'm finding a new manufacturer.

Newer made machine???
I must have gotten a newer made machine, this thing has a great picture, and sound. I have used it a lot, and had no problems at all. I would buy the vcr again.

If you are thinking ofbuying a JVC VCR HR-J692 U...Think Again!
If some one had told us that a company like JVC would produce a piece of junk like their VCR-HR J692/U, I wouldn't have believed it. This unit is to electronics what the Yugo was to automobiles.

Broke really fast!!
It still looks brand new and it broke after only a few months.Put a tape in the machine, it plays for a minute, then stops, and the tape pops out.Tried several different tapes, and the same thing happens, so it wasn't the tape.Cheap!! ... Read more

Junk
Wow!I guess I should feel lucky.My MVR650 didn't start eating tapes until months after I bought it.Well, not eating them outright, anyway.It *always* chewed on them a bit.From the beginning fast forwarding would scrape the oxide off the tape (that section would never be watchable again) but it didn't actually start refusing to release the tape for several months.Shutting itself off as soon as you inserted a tape didn't start for months either along with ejecting that cassette once you turned it back on.Oh, but I said it wouldn't release the tape, didn't I?Well it would eject the *cassette*, but that doesn't mean it would release the *tape*.
BAD BAD BAD
I bought this thing (it's a Magnavox) and like most of the VCR's made in Asian countries it's a piece of junk. I wasted a couple of days trying to find out why I got no video out. Finally found it is the VCR. Isn't it ironic how all those Asian countries look down on us, call us lazy, incompetant, etc. Yet, unless they copy something we build here, exactly as we build it, all they can produce is junk.
