| My daughter is the *very happy* recipient of this dual deck. She is not exactly an electronics wizard, but she called to say thanks and just bubbled over about how "simple" it was to connect ("really, Dad, I just plugged it in and connected 1 wire and my roommates and I said 'it can't be that simple' but we turned it on and it was like working great"!). She said the remote was "smooth" and the picture quality was "awesome". She also raved about the audio volume the CD player was able to produce and she was "wowed" by its ability to produce this volume cleanly while playing MP3s, ergo becoming, I am informed, the new music center for her dorm room. Anyway, she should remain happy, as GoVideo (& now SONICblue) has been around for quite a while, producing the first dual VCR decks (mostly for copying tapes that were [of course] not copyrighted, such as personal videos) more than a decade ago and since then having greatly expanded their product line, all the while maintaining a pretty good reputation for quality and service and an excellent track record for high value electronics. |
Audio problems?? Maybe for an amateur!!

| Ordered one USED and quickly realized that the other Amazon reviews were probably written by folks that did the most basic connection you could do (coax in...coax out). If you have a halfway decent home theatre system and utilize the dedicated DVD and VCR RCA audio outputs using good quality cables (Monster cables or other gold tipped audio cables), the audio is great. Dolby Digital is fantastic and the onboard menu allows you to configure for several different variations. Easy setup (less than 10 minutes), easy to use, on screen menus are easy to navigate, plays MP3's, great picture, great sound!! If you want to get an inexpensive unit that will handle DVD and VHS plus also play MP3's (!!!), get one of these!!! |
Best One Yet

| This vcr/dvd player is the only one that has lasted this long. I have 4 boys under 10 and they are a little rough on things. Ours finally died when three dvd's were put in at once. This is after several "repairs" by mom. It has been great and put up with loads of abuse. We tried two other players and neither would work with our television. So we are going to order this same exact one. Why mess with what works! I am just really impressed with this player. Also, when our remote was lost, we contacted the company to get a new one and they were very promt in getting back to us on how to re-order it. I would definatly recomend this player. It's easy to set up and work, works with older t.v.'s, put's up with ton's of abuse and can be easily connected to a sound system. |
Good Product

| For the price, this is a good DVD/VHS player. Very easy to install and just as easy to use. Simple instructions, good remote control. I'm very pleased with the unit. |
Excellent product

| This is a great piece of equipment. My last DVD player was very loud, you could hear the turntable turning while the movie played. But this machine is quiet and is exactly as described by Amazon. The operations and setup are simple. It took all of five minutes before I had a movie playing. Fabulous! |
