Rating: - Never has worked quite right, perhaps it's a lemon!
I have had similar problems to the guy who wrote about his before me, except I have not called customer service yet, or even tried to send it back. The unit worked fine at first, and then started to have this problem: kept showing me a menu that said it could not play the DVD...this was any DVD I happened to put into it. It had played them before fine and they all are pristine, no scratches or dirt. Ok, so I unplugged/replugged in the unit and for a time that seemed to reset it; then it played again; ... Read More
Rating: - Samsung tunerless DVD and VCR
This combination DVD/VCR that I purchased was just as I expected. It was very easy to install onto my TV. I am not a lady who installs all things and I had no problem hooking it to my TV and it is working great and was a super deal on Amazon.
Rating: - VHS player failed in 6 months - ate tape, not worth repairing
Re Samsung DVD V9700/XAA DVD/VCR combo, purchased 2008 Feb., $99, at Circuit City:
We usually played DVDs and only rarely played VHS cassettes on this unit. After only six months it ate a tape. More precisely, suddenly the VHS cassette won't play, rewind, ff, or eject. At power on, it says "HI", and then the door partly opens and closes, then it says "L2". When I push eject, sometimes it tries to eject, and some of those times the door opens partly and closes again. I unplugged and waited but ... Read More
Rating: - Works great!
In August 2007, our old DVD/VCR combo quit about the same time I bought an HDTV. I looked into upconverting players and discovered this one. The first player would not work on the HDMI cable (deduct one star). The regular VHS output and component outputs worked fine. I called Amazon who immediately shipped another player. This player has worked great ever since then.
The upconverter with an HDMI cable is a noticeable improvement over the regular DVD player with component cables. I definitely ... Read More
Rating: - Samsung to Samsung no HDMI support
I have a Samsung 1080 HDTV. I bought this player because I thought I could use the same remote and an HDMI cable to merge the movie-watching experience. Unfortunately, the DVD player does not support HDMI in DD 5.1. This means that in order to get sound with HDMI video and DD, you have to have an optical output to a DD receiver/speaker system. Even at that point, the HDMI sound will only play from the DVD player to DD speakers. Also, the DVD/VCR conversion is not the best on the TV because the VCR can't play on ... Read More
