It's a nice concept. But on our unit, the left deck wouldn't track, so we couldn't watch rented movies from that side. And although the right deck played beautifully, it recorded only picture -- no sound.

Two defective decks in one box could be an extreme coincidence -- or it could indicate some problems with component quality.

I would be very careful before buying any Go-Video products, for when you have them for a few years and they need repair they are very hard to work with in getting them fixed. I have had 2 Go-Video Dual Deck VCR's and had to throw both of them away cause I couldn't get them fixed, even from Go-Video, they don't carry the replacement parts.

SonicBlue confirmed that some of their GoVideo DDV3120 Dual Deck 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR had some clock problems, but they were not aware of any clock problems on their DDV3110 model although some other reviews I read on both the DDV3110 and DDV3120 said they had clock problems on both models. I have had no problem with the clock (and the daylight savings works fine too) and everything else also works well except the commercial advance does not always work, and you can not skip commercials on old recordings that you make a new copy of with your GoVideo VCR. It's nice to be able to record something from the television while also being able to watch another video on the other VCR drive. Assuming your VCR has no clock problems, I would recommend this VCR.

I have purchased 2 of these plastic and metal boxes called dvd(slash) vhs player...Notice the slash because thats what you will want to do to your wrists for being stupid enough to buy a GO Video FROM CIRCUIT CITY. On the plus side..the unit comes with a plug cord long enough to form a noose. On the negative it will not work longer than 52 minutes before telling you the disc isn't recognized. Also don't worry about rewinding the VHS as it will eat the tape as it plays so there won't be any pesky tape to rewind.Also forget returning it to CIRCUIT CITY as they will tell you to mail it to the company, any but CIRCUIT CITY. CIRCUIT CITY knows they sold you junk and now it is YOUR FAULT. Also they will ask you to leave CIRCUIT CITY hopefully before some poor sucker saw the problems you're having with CIRCUIT CITY..Stars???they need a negative as I give GO-VIDEO and CIRCUIT CITY -8 stars.thats MINUS 8 STARS. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED..DON'T BE STUPID..

I love that vcr, got as a present about 5 months ago and really happy with it. It easy to use. Great copymaker. You can record from TV on one deck and at the same time watch video on another. The remote control controls everything. I locked all the buttons on VCR so my toddler cannot play with them and cotrol remote becomes really handy. The quality of copys are very good, but if you have a bad original tape - you cannot expext a good copy....
