I've had an apex1500 (love it), and various VHS machines.
I wanted a machine that would play VHS, VCD, SVCD, DVD-R, and mp3s. This machine does all reasonably well. The picture quality
is good, not as great as sony or apex, but close. There are
occasional black square flashs on some disks, but nothing
annoying. I'd rate this a full 5, but the mp3 playback only
shows short (useless) filenames on the screen, which means
you have to label your disks, and remember whats on them
rather than read the screen. There is a macrovision and region
free option at vcdhelp.com.

You can't touch any dual deck that does all these formats
for less than $400. So this is a great value.

Over a 7 day period I searched the web for a replacement for the player that was inadvertently dropped and irreparably broken. Looking for the most features, highest reviews, and best dollar value I arrived at my top 3. The Daewoo DV6T811N was my first pick for reasons obvious as soon as I used it...It was easy to set up, the manual was clear and on a "user" level so it was playing "The Maxtrix" 15 minutes after I got home.
The only problem was that the DVD I played was rented and it was necessary to thoroughly clean the disk to get the picture to quit stuttering. After that though, I watched the entire movie trouble free, my family used the player (in DVD and VCR mode) several times with no problems either as I told them about cleaning first.....
I like anything I buy to last as long as possible so I usually end up spending more money for what I need. In this case I got the best as well as...more dollars left in my pocket! Spend more money if you need to get a particular brand, but if you want the best value get this one.

I purchased this combo unit based on reviews I read. My experience in the 3 weeks I've had it is poor. Both the vcr and dvd are loud and the dvd part is defective...After only 3 weeks there are lines across the picture...It is going back! Unfortunately!

I've purchased this same item at Targets for 144.00 on sale. This is connected to a Daewoo 25" TV I've had since 1994.The matching daewoo set show better quality than most brand names that cost more. Deawoo has got my business from now on.

This is not worth the price. It is not dependable. The picture quality is average at best. The media compartments are flimsy and sluggish in response. Look at other brands. For a few dollars more you can do much better (think Toshiba or Sony).
