DVD & VHS Movie Player,

I'm happy with this combo.
With my Target Trutech I couldn't watch any of the new music videos and DVD movies; This combo plays them all.
Has all the standard features and some nice ones I like.
EZ view allows a one button push for viewing DVD movies as a standard, widescreen, fit, zoom...
Useful VHS search features such as fast forward/back to the zero counter. Or doing a search that will pause and show each spot recorded on the tape.
Good quality remote!
There's no TV tuner so you cannot directly record TV to VHS. But as mentioned before you could patch it (connecting your old VCR) but its not as convient as having one already built in.
It may not play your home movies on CD-R, since it only plays the newer
formats: MPEG4 and DIVX.
Overall, I'm satisfied for fact that I'm watching current Movies, music videos, an occasional recording off the TV and all at an affordable price for a combo.

It doesn't cost much, and you get what you pay for,

I bought this machine for the VCR function (stand-alone VCRs having become impossible to find now), which was a good thing, since the DVD player stopped functioning (in fact, stopped opening) within a month of purchase. I recommend finding something of higher quality (although I have no suggestions about how to do that...)

You need 2 sets of cable connections,

We had to call the company to figure out how to make the connection work. All cables were correctly connected by us but the instruction book missed one little detail:telling us to use the source button.
Then 2 days later I tried to tape. It did not work. So I called the company again and they said I needed more than 1 set of connecting cables. I did not know that.
So be sure you go out and buy another "red,yellow, white" cable if you want to tape from your TV to your VCR.You only get one set in the box.
