No complaints. Standard combo machine.
Using this on a tv that isn’t used much in the basement. But the machine seems pretty standard and it was cheap!

Worst DVD and worst service from Samsung
I bought this DVD player a little over a year ago and it has been fine for what I use it for…just watching movies.

Never has worked quite right, perhaps it’s a lemon!
I have had similar problems to the guy who wrote about his before me, except I have not called customer service yet, or even tried to send it back.

Samsung tunerless DVD and VCR
This combination DVD/VCR that I purchased was just as I expected. It was very easy to install onto my TV.

VHS player failed in 6 months – ate tape, not worth repairing
Re Samsung DVD V9700/XAA DVD/VCR combo, purchased 2008 Feb., $99, at Circuit City:
We usually played DVDs and only rarely played VHS cassettes on this unit.

Hook-up difficult but works as advertised.
I don’t understand the issues you’re all having with this combo unit. It works perfectly for me. Records DVDs from VHS, from Cable and from TiVo HD.

Not built to last
This is the first of this type device that didn’t last but just over a year. Very poor return on investment.

GARBAGE!!!
Maybe I happened to get a “lemon”, folks, but my unit was JUNK! Brand-new unit — right outta the box as it was shipped to me from Sears — yet it damaged (scratched and…
