So I called the company again and they said I needed more than 1 set of connecting cables. It did not work. We had to call the company to figure out how to make the connection work. All cables were correctly connected by us but the instruction book missed one little detail:telling us to use the source button.Then 2 days later I tried to tape. I did not know that.So be sure you go out and buy another "red,yellow, white" cable if you want to tape from your TV to your VCR.You only get one set in the box.
Samsung warranty is only 3 months labor and 1 year parts, so I was just barely within the warranty period. Bought it slightly over two months ago just to be able to play our old video tapes, and now there is no video output from the VCR section, even though I can still play the DVDs. If it breaks down again, the repair cost might be more than the cost to purchase a better quality unit.
I faxed them the receipt twice, they say they will not accept a mailed in receipt - it has to be a fax or an email, but they say they have no email address. They gave me a tracking number but never called me back. Now they want me to get a better receipt from Frys to send to them before they will repair the unit. I bought the DVD player and it will play for a couple of months and stop. Samsung will drag their feet about getting you the information to send back the product. I went to Walmart and bought a Magnovox. You won't be able to take it back to it's place of purchase. So far, I like it better, but it has not been a month yet.
EZ view allows a one button push for viewing DVD movies as a standard, widescreen, fit, zoom.Useful VHS search features such as fast forward/back to the zero counter. Or doing a search that will pause and show each spot recorded on the tape. I'm happy with this combo. Good quality remote.There's no TV tuner so you cannot directly record TV to VHS. But as mentioned before you could patch it (connecting your old VCR) but its not as convient as having one already built in.It may not play your home movies on CD-R, since it only plays the newer formats: MPEG4 and DIVX. With my Target Trutech I couldn't watch any of the new music videos and DVD movies; This combo plays them all.Has all the standard features and some nice ones I like. Overall, I'm satisfied for fact that I'm watching current Movies, music videos, an occasional recording off the TV and all at an affordable price for a combo.
I bought this as a replacement for one I had had for several years. One feature I do not like is the fact that there is no pause button on the VCR.
