The Bottom Line:
A combo DVD/VCR is a handy unit to have at this point in time, and this unit does the job well.
I bought this combo unit for a gift, and it's used to play rental videos.
Combo units are definitely the way to go for a number of situations:
- Televisions (older, mainly) that do not have separate audio/video inputs. With only an antenna connection, a regular DVD player will not connect directly. However, the combo units can connect to such a TV just using the antenna input.
- Space savings - less wire, clutter, and shelf space
- Simplicity - less switching between components, fewer clocks and setup menus to deal with
Pros for this unit:
- good quality viewing for tape and DVD
- DVD pan/zoom feature to cut the sides and expand vertically to have a wide screen movie fill a standard size TV screen vs. show in letterbox mode (useful for smaller TV's)
- auto clock set including daylight savings time adjustment. Surprisingly, a number of units do not have this feature.
- clock visible on front panel display. Some models save money by eliminating the clock on the front panel display and only showing it onscreen.
- JPEG slide show mode - automatically advances to the next picture every 5-15 seconds. (JPEG pictures from digital cameras can be written to CD's using a computer or from a camera store, and viewed directly on the TV).
- support Kodak picture CD mode (according to the manual, I didn't test this). Some players specifically say they do not support this format.
- VCR/DVD mode lights visible from a distance
Cons
- no universal remote
- layout of remote buttons a bit confusing
