I've had this dual for over a year and I love it! I haven't had one problem! This was one of first combos in the market so anything new from this brand name can only get better!

The DVD player on this unit skipped a lot, couldn't handle many rental discs well, and eventually just got too annoying so I gave it to a neighbor and bought a cheapo unit elsewhere. I liked having the combo package but got too frustrated with skipping during DVD playback.

One of the reasons i wanted a combo unit was to view and convert dvds from grandchildren's recitals and other performances. I found out that MOST combo units do NOT read DVD-R or DVD RW. they only read commercial dvds. I just spent [a lot of money] on a dvd burner. with apple selling all these imovie tools and superdrives to burn dvds where is anyone going to be able to play them? Let's face it, we'd like to view our masterpieces on our tv...not a 17in computer screen. i am SOOOO disappointed. I've been searching for days for an alternative and still haven't found one that ready DVD-R!

Great picture for DVD and Video, easy to hook-up. I don't know why other people didn't like it, it's exactly what I was hoping for. I have my stereo speakers hooked up to it also, and it sounds great too. No problems at all, good value for the money.
