First off, everyone should know that a DVD/VCR combo machine such as this Panasonic will not allow you to tape DVDs you rent at Blockbuster! Most DVDs have Macrovision anti-copying technology which makes it impossible to copy to a VHS tape without a hacked VCR machine. You can, however, tape your own home-movie DVDs made on a PC.

As with their stand-alone DVD and VCR products, the Panasonic is an excellent machine that's easy to use, buit to last, and offers great video quality on all kinds of TV sets. The remote control unfortunately is a bit more complicated than necessary, but that doesn't distract from the good overall design of the machine itself. The biggest advantage of an integrated DVD/VCR is that it saves space and cables. The biggest downside is if one thing breaks, you have to fix the whole unit.

This is unit is great, both in looks and features. It is fairly slim, and stylish...with sturdy construction. The DVD features are easy to figure out and easy to use via remote. I have watched SEVERAL DVDs, including widescreen. Good resolution and abitily to zoom off widescreen.

The VCR is a little more complicated than my original VCR...but not impossible to figure out and get used to. The picture resolution is better than I expected.

Great product manual, up to the usual Panasonic standards.

I tried a Samsung first, but it was defective and flimsy. Back it went!

Good unit for the price.

I first reviewed this product and said it was great. Overall it has been a fine unit, but it seems to everheat once in a while during a long DVD session. From time to time the movie will freeze up, and then jump forward or backward, very annoying. Considering how inexpensive the unit is for VCR and DVD, it was still an OK value, but the overheating seems to be a fatal flaw.
