| xander73's Full Review: Samsung DVD-V2000 DVD Player / VCR Combo |
I read several reviews before unpacking this unit (purchased at Target), seeing how they were favorable for the most part. I've only had it out of the box for an hour, and I will agree with other reviewers that the unit is very easy to setup, the remote is a little too small, and the unit can be noisy during playback. The noise did seem to go away after I changed DVD's, I haven't
I'd like to add several more comments:
* I had to set the unit to our local TV Guide channel to get the time to set automatically.
* Programming the universal remote feature has never been easier! I followed the directions, punched in "04" for my Magnavox TV, and it was programmed. The only problem is that they input selection button doesn't seem to work, and the mute button recalls my last channel, but everything else is fine.
* I LOVE all the different search functions! I haven't played with all of them yet, but I can't wait to experiment after reading the user guide. Audio during 2x playback is nice, as is the variable speeds up to 128x. It would be nice if I didn't have to hold down the button forever to step through the shuttle speeds. The screen index is interesting too.
So far I'm not experiencing any buyers regret, and I'm happy to finally have a DVD player, and a replacement for my temperamental old VCR. I figured that the price was right, and it was just as good to kill two birds w/ one stone since I don't use my TV or VCR very often.
I would like to see further reviews from other buyers who have tried to return/repair this unit for problems with DVD/VCR noise.
