I know for the hardcore DVD viewer, this would not be considered, but was great for me. The instruction manual is easy to use. Installation was easy. However, in order to hook it up to an HDTV, you need an extra set of cables (not included). The remote is easy to use. I am unable to set this up to my cable remote, as the codes I entered did not work. No big deal, the Samsung remote is easy to use. I would recommend this model to anyone buying a VCR/DVD combo. 18 of 18 people found the following review helpful: By Mr Triscuit (Florida) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Samsung DVD-V8500 DVD/VCR Combo (Electronics) I thought my unit was broken when I first
hooked it up, because switched to VCR it still showed the "blue greeter" screen for DVD. I heard somebody else had this experience with the S-Video, so I tried Composite Video (yellow RCA) - same story. Only when I hooked up the RF-out jack (yuck!) could I see the VCR video. Oddly, I could hear the audio on Line-Out, I just couldn't use either of the Video jacks for Line-Out. I thought my unit might be broken, so I called their customer support. After hanging up on me several times, they eventually said you can only view the VCR on RF-out. Since I have Tivo, I don't need to hook up my Cable to the VCR - I just want to watch tapes. So my cable is already hooked up to my TV/Tivo. I could hook up the RF-out to a 2nd RF-in on my TV, but who wants to switch back and forth between RF-in jacks on my TV, and maybe leave it...Read more 12 of 12 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Samsung DVD-V8500 DVD/VCR Combo (Electronics) The best feature is the ability to plug your memory card in and view all those digital pictures! I have been shopping for a long time, reviewing Consumer Reports, Amazon, Epinions.com, etc. Like many, we have a plethora of old VCR tapes or camcorder tapes that need a VC player. Setup is easy, batteries for the remote included and color coded cables too. You may want to pick up a S cable. Codes are included to make this remote work on your TV. In our setup we have a cable tv, dvd recorder and now this beauty! |
