Samsung DVD-V1000 DVD Player / VCR Combo

Pros: Easy set up, step by step instructions, size
Cons: None

We were looking for a DVD player but have so many VHS tapes we didn't want to reinvest in repurchasing movies in DVD so we found this Samsung. It is the best invention, you don't have to give up the old tapes and you get new technology with the DVD...

Pros: Very good features, nice remote, easy to understand, looks nice.
Cons: If you leave a dvd in the player it will revert back to it later.

This machine is pretty neat, you can use dvds, vhs, vcds, mp3 data discs , and other multimedia devices. You are paying this low price for about 6 or 7 machines in one.

Remote:The remote is pretty cool only problem is, is that if you break it...

Pros: fast and easy to use!
Cons: haven't found any so far

What more could you ask for in a VCR/DVD combo? I don't know too much about technology aside from computers, and I was perfectly content with the DVD player on my computer, but the price was too sweet for a combo. I was able to set it up in under ten...

Pros: Ease of use, size, great standard features, plays MP3 CDs, one less remote.
Cons: Remote shares some of the buttons.

This is a decent player that fits the roles of both VCR and DVD player. It was perfect for me, for three main reasons:

1. I was looking for a secondary DVD player for my bedroom.
2. I needed to replace an aging 2-head VCR.
3....

Pros: Works great, up and running in minutes!
Cons: Only holds one DVD (but hey, that's not bad for everyone!)

Here is the story of how I can to acquire this great piece of machinery--

Last week I purchased this dvd/vcr player online. At bestbuy.com I paid $299.99 for this great machine. I ordered it to be sent to my house, but I had to pay a...

Pros: Great space saver, with great picture and sound quality
Cons: None for me

I’m a second year college student, and when I moved from the dorm to an apartment, my tiny little TV/VCR combo was just not enough for my large living room, especially because we had our couch fairly far away. The sound and picture quality weren’t...

Pros: Ease of Use, size and concept
Cons: None yet

We have a 10 year old TV in our playroom for the kids to watch their movies on. We wanted to get them a DVD but the TV is only cable ready so they were stuck with either a VCR or DVD. Well, the old VCR died in time for the new technology of combination...

Pros: DVD/VCR/CD player all in one
Cons: Need different color than silver

I have procrastinated for several months on making a purchase for a replacement for our VCR. The old VCR (Sony) works well, but has the bad habit of not taking up the slack on the tape when unloading, with the consequence of the tape catching on one of...

Pros: One-box DVD, CD, CDR, VHS player (and VCR) at a very reasonable price.
Cons: Lack of features - no Jog/Shuttle

I purchased this machine about a year ago and use it as my DVD player, VCR, and CD player. I sold my existing DVD player (a Samsung DVD812 that I was very happy with) to a friend rather than buying a new VCR and CD player for myself and being stuck with...

Pros: DVD and Video player in one component. Good quality in just about everything.
Cons: Irritatingly 'helpful'; joystick a bit 'touchy'

This is actually a review of the DVD-V5000 since epinions don't have it actually listed yet.

Firstly, the differences (that I know of) between the 1000 and the 5000:
The 5000 is the same as the 1000 but has Zoom function, and headphone...

Pros: Combo DVD/VCR player and easy setup.
Cons: Limited functions on remote control.

I wanted a VCR/DVD combo because I don't have space for separate components. I compared all the technical aspects of similar VCR/DVD combo models from Samsung, Panasonic, Go-Video, and others. I was hesitant to purchase Samsung (based upon earlier...

Pros: Nice Finish and attractive styling. Great Price.
Cons: VCR not S-VHS.

The Samsumg DV-1000 is an attractive unit for about $300 retail.

The Unit is easy enough to setup. My only complain is that the VCR could have been better if it were S-VHS. The unit can play S-VHS tapes but will not output through the S-video...

Pros: Space-saving combo unit for both VHS tapes and DVD
Cons: Needs tracking adjustment when playing VHS tapes recorded from another VCR

When my Panasonic VCR started to show signs of wear & tear, I decided that it was time to bring myself into the new Millennium and get a DVD player...however, I have thousands of VHS tapes which I can't just throw away....and my entertainment wall unit...

Pros: Strong feature set Component video output VCR is great
Cons: Duplication of Output ports Dolby Digital Output issue (see review)

I decided to purchase this unit for a variety of reasons that I think are very important to the review.

I bought this unit to replace:
1 Proscan single-disc DVD player
1 JVC S-VHS VCR
1 Teac 5-disc CD changer

The...

Pros: Affordable, efficient, and easy to use
Cons: If one component breaks, you're out a VCR AND a DVD player

My wife and I were slow to wade into the pool of DVD ownership, primarily because we already owned a VCR and quite a few VHS tapes. "Why buy a DVD player," we thought, "when we don't own any DVDs and we already have a precarious pile of electronics?"...
