GoVideo was a mistake
(1 out of 5) by John Vineyard on May 2, 2002 (Riverside, CA USA)I bought this item less than a year ago, and now I am shopping for a replacement. The combo unit is a good idea - it saves space and simplifies set up - but the quality of GoVideo leaves quite a bit to be desired. The VCR side works well, but the DVD side is hopeless. It's slow to load. It skips and freezes. The materials are generally cheap.

Works Great Once You Figure Out the Audio Setup
(4 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Jun 13, 2002This unit worked as described right out of the box. I just hooked up the same cables from my old VCR to get both DVD and VCR working.
Only issue was that the audio while running a DVD was lower than normal TV or running a VCR tape. Subsequently I connected my stereo system/speakers as secondary output for the DVD (it's labeled on the back of the unit) and now I get great surround sound coming out of both the TV and the stereo system.
It takes a bit to figure out the audio settings but once you do you'll highly enjoy this unit!!

Not a good consumer choice...
(2 out of 5) by Jared Jongeling on Sep 13, 2002 (USA)I bought this set a few months ago and after a few movies watched on it, almost every DVD I had tried was skipping like heck. It wasn't my DVDs, because they were brand new, and the player was brand new, so I doubt it needed a cleaning. At first I thought I had just gotten a "lemon", but from the other reviewers on here, it seems like I'm not the only one. This player skips...hopefully I can get a replacement soon.

Works Fine ...BUT...No DVD+ formats
(2 out of 5) by Ron Frey on Dec 22, 2002 (somewhere in the swamps of Jersey)The unit plays store bought DVD and all VHS tapes fine-BUT-The DVD unit did NOT play my VCD's(CD-R's) or any of my DVD +R /DVD +RW dvd's.THIS IS NOT mentioned on the BOX.
Until they make a unit that plays these formats --this one's goin back to the store.
If it played the formats I need it to play I would rate it a 4--good price--easy hook up--easy operation --good playback.BUT...until that time it gets a 2.

Excellent choice
(5 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Nov 15, 2003I've had this unit almost a year now and it works perfectly. It was easy to set up, just swapped the same input and output as went into the VCR this was replacing. Sound and video quality are both good, it's easy to use and small in size. Overall, I'm very happy with my choice.
