Sanyo DVW-5000 DVD Player / VCR Combo

Pros: Plays almost everything. TVGuardian is great. Digital audio is wonderful.
Cons: See above. Play options limited, remote is a pain, CC captioning has design flaw

We bought this combo player when our VCR died. Our previous DVD player had problems with getting too hot so we thought this would cover everything with one device. We have used TV Guardian for many years and this device sounded perfect. It plays most ...

I was an electronics tech. for 15 years and pride myself in being able to figure out and program things but I can't get the TV guardian to work on VCR or TV. I bought the DVW-5000 because my previous TV Guardian distorted the sound on my TV and VCR. The Sanyo sounds great but doesn't filter the TV or VCR. I am guessing that it only works with the DVD but haven't tested that yet.
