Neither VCR nor DVD work

Doesn't work. Came with VHS already in it but not extractable. Opening/closing DVDs works, but nothing else. All I get is ERR 2 flashing on the VCR. I've searched the web and the online manual for fixes, but so far to no avail.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • old

The VCR plays well. DVD is broken.

"Tested and working fine," says the summary. I've been using the VCR-VHS component since I've had it. I figured the DVD would work "perfectly" when we got to it. I tried to play a DVD last night and the tray didn't even pop out all the way, it got stuck halfway. The DVD player is broken. I know I should have checked earlier but believed I bought the item as presented. I want my money back or a working exchange. Many Thanks.

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Some bugs

Magnavox Guarantee - Selling another one!

I was a Magnavox fan (3 TVs, 2 VCRs, 2 CD players) BUT got a Magnavox MDV530VR combo for Christmas (2003). The DVD worked well, but the VCR never worked very well. No visible tape was ever recorded or played back from another VCR, although my other 3 VCRs (2 Magnavox) produced recordings that were completely interchangeable.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • weak

Not working. Came with VHS already in it but not extractable. Opening/closing DVDs works, but nothing else. All I get is a blinking ERR 2 on the VCR. I've searched the web and the online manual for fixes, but so far to no avail.

Pros
  • Dolby Digital/DTS surround sound and PCM line pass-through coaxial digital audio output
Cons

1/2 and 1/2

THIS IS 3 WEEKS FOR ME AND IS RECOVERY. ALTHOUGH IT WORKS GREAT BUT THERE IS NO REMOTE CONTROL, CAN I DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? IF YES PLEASE TELL ME. So I'm not happy because I do things like FF, PAUSE or ? ETC. BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT ON THE BOX. SO I HAVE TO WAIT AND WATCH ANYWAY

Pros
  • Compact DVD/VCR combo with MP3 and JPEG compatibility CD
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
