TWO defective for TV and video

I ordered this player. came first. the dvd tray would not open and would not open. I returned it. The second came. the same happened. seems to be an unreliable block they are trying to get rid of.

Pros
  • Compact combo DVD player and 4-channel VCR
Cons
  • Not sure

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Need a remote controlled VCR/DVD combo and it's perfect!

My daughter has special needs and loves many of her VHS cassettes and we needed a new one but they are so expensive that we a used one got a cheap one with remote control and so far so good!

Pros
  • Optical and coaxial Dolby Digital and DTS surround channel digital audio output for compatible receivers and speakers
Cons
  • Negative impression

it is great. So I bought another one through Revain

I have this device but the DVD side has stopped working. When this machine works, it's great. So I bought another one from Revain. Unfortunately, the player sent could not play any VHS or DVD elements. I returned it.

Pros
  • Plays DVD-Video, DVD-R, VCD, Audio CD, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3/WMA CD and JPEG Image CD
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.

Cannot load VCR cassettes

1. The VCR part did not load a VCR tape when a VCR cassette was inserted in the VCR slot. The movement of the internal mechanism could be heard, but the VCR tape did not feed into the cassette deck. Therefore, the VCR did not play the tape. That's why I returned this item.2. The DVD tray only opens this distance (about ½ inch) when you press the OPEN/CLOSE button on the player and/or remote control (see photo). The compartment can be opened manually and closes correctly with every button. Since

Pros
  • TV recording while watching a DVD movie; Burn non-copy protected DVDs to videotape
Cons
  • Nothing here

Cannot load videocassettes

1. Part of the VCR did not have a videocassette loaded when a videocassette was inserted into the VCR socket. The movement of the internal mechanism could be heard, but the VCR tape did not feed into the cassette deck. Therefore, the VCR did not play the tape. That's why I returned this item.2. The DVD tray will only open this distance (about ½ inch) when you press the OPEN/CLOSE button on the player and/or remote control (see photo). The compartment can be opened manually and closes correctly…

Pros
  • Compact DVD and Hi-Fi 4 head VCR combo
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
