Excellent VCR, once you figure out how to use it
After just returning from living in Europe, where we had built up a large video collection, we were needing to by a multi-system VCR. When I first started shopping for them here in the US, I was in shock. The prices were huge ($1000+), or you had to buy other decoders, or multi-system TV's... Read full review »

Consider a different VCR
This unit was given to me as a gift and after less than 15 hours of use it broke down. This happened to be 13 months after it was purchased. Samsung customer service was no help to me at all. The build quality of this rather expensive unit is simply awful, with cut rate components from $80 VCRs... Read full review »
Not recommended, unless you don't mind paying for out-of-warranty repairs!

The good idea , but bad device
I have bought it 2 years ago and it is dead now. The problem in power supply, I guess. Also, it was always white traces on the screen. Samsung doesn't provide any information about repair on them website. Bad device, bad marketing with good idea. Read full review »

Around the World
I bought the Samsung SV-5000W for really only one reason. I needed to record some PAL videos into NTSC tapes. I didn't want to pay alot for a vcr that would find limited use in my home. I was surprised to see how few PAL VCRs are available in the USA and that most were very expensive. The Samsung... Read full review »
Beware of power supply problems
I bought one of these machines several years ago to play my PAL tapes here in the US. After about 18 months it died. One day it just would not function. I had my brother, an electrician check the inside - fuse etc. which seemed fine, but it was still dead.
A search on ebay just revealed 3...

It seems to me as an either design or manufacturing flow, or may be the party has some defective components. During my research after second break down I found that power supply... Read full review »
