I have had this product almost a week. I really like it. I am concerned about the combo and quality issues. So far I really like it. The only complaint I have is that the remote is not very responsive. I have to push the buttons quite hard and sometimes multiple times before it takes.

I haven't have it for very long, but so far I love it. The picture is great, and the sound is fabulous. The remote was a bit intimidating at first, but turned out to be fairly easy. I have not had any problem getting the remote to work smoothly as long as I remember to point it at the sensor. If I do that, it works great.
The only complaint that I have so far, is that the manual could have been put together in a more onganized manner. Flipping back and forth just to do one thing got to be more than a bit agravating.
Overall, I am happy with my purchase. So far, I recomend this product.

It plays well, but it can really annoy you. The VCR plays some tapes well, but other tapes jump like crazy. These same types play just fine in our other VCR. Also, the DVD plays some DVDs. Others begin with a lot of jumping or skipping, when they play fine in our other player. Also, it has the habit of skipping ahead to the next chapter on DVDs. And the DVD player is EXTREMELY annoying. If a DVD is in the player when you turn it on, the DVD begins playing automatically and often won't let you stop it right away. Apparently, it didn't occur to the designer that perhaps I might want to play a video. Lastly, the remote is designed with only one fast-forward and one reverse button. You press them to skip back or ahead a chapter. To search, you have to hold down the same buttons. In short, it's really easy to skip to another chapter rather than search.

We've already decided that when we replace this unit, we're going to pound on it a few times before throwing it in the trash. I wouldn't even GIVE it to anyone.
