Toshiba SD-V291
Product Rating  
What if you could watch both DVDs and videotapes using one player? You can, when the player's the Toshiba SD-V291! It combines DVD and VHS playback in one standard-sized component - add DVD playback to your home theater without losing the ability to record in VHS or view your favorite videotapes! If you've got a Dolby® Digital receiver, hook up the SD-V291 and feel the full impact of your movies' multichannel soundtracks. Or use the 'V291's Spatializer® feature to simulate surround sound effects using your TV's built-in stereo speakers. Watch DVDs on any television, thanks to the player's RF output. Plus, you get playback for all your music discs: regular audio CDs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs, as well as recordable CDs encoded with MP3 and WMA files. The VCR deck boasts cool conveniences, such as an 8-event/1-year program timer, auto clock and channel set, and a front-panel A/V input, for easily connecting a camcorder.

I purchased the Toshiba SD-V291 a little over a year ago as a companion to our Toshiba TV. I have had no problems with it as far as working properly. It has played all DVDs and VHS tapes very well. The biggest problems I have with the machine is the DVD tray is really slow, it is awkward to switch between the DVDs and VHS parts, the remote is not user friendly, the maximum speed of fast foward on DVDs is only 5 times normal speed, and there is no "skip to the next segment" feature for DVDs. If I were looking for a combo unit again, this wouldn't be my first choice. I also have a JVC XVS-500 (DVD player only) which is much easier to use and has many more features and has been just as reliable.
