This is a good price and a good device. It plays videos and also DVDs. While there are several things missing from the features list and the manual shows many limitations it does what you want it to. I have had no trouble with my cassettes, even the old ones (for which I bought this device). DVD playback is simple and is lead by an on screen display.

Bear in mind that the device may have trouble with a few discs. I have yet to try any homemade DVDs but when I do I will update.

All in all, a good DVD player and a great VCR. Best of both ages and a good price.

This was a purchase for my husband and I who are not that techno. We needed something easy to use and this is it. It is also very good looking when it's up and being used. We are enjoying using this item very much and would buy and/or recommend it to anyone else. The price wasn't bad either and we've used the Sylvania brand before and find it to be very reliable.

It has performed beautifully thus far with zero problems and over 50 disks without a reject. Just follow instructions...
