Sanyo DVW-6100 DVD Player / VCR Combo

Pros: Space-saving DVD/VHS combination. TVGuardian blocks offensive language.
Cons: No Progressive Scan, and you can buy a Panasonic that has it for LESS!

We used to watch our old VHS movie cassettes on a dedicated VHS player, and watch DVD movies (mostly new Blockbuster rentals) on our Sony Playstation 2. We plugged the PS2 into the front of the VHS player when we wanted to watch or play it. Eventually, ...

Pros: Not much
Cons: Poor reliability

We did not use it very often (about 2-3 movies a week) and still its front display panel died just 1.5 year after the purchase date. Although, it is still operational with button controls, the built-in infrared sensor died along with the panel, so it no longer accepts commands from the remote control and there is not buttons for tape forward/rewind.

Pros: It works
Cons: This model SUCKS!

Since all we had before I bought this DVD player was a VCR player, I guess it fit-the-bill for playing DVD's.
--> That's where my good review of this model ends.

The DVW-6100 is your BASIC DVD Player. I have no concern for the "parental control" feature, so that's a mute issue.

If you want to play any other format than your generic store bought DVD... Look a something else.
Their is no progressive scan either.
