Thanks for posting that this does NOT have a tuner!November 23, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Thank you to all the people posting that this does unit does NOT have a tuner, since Amazon doesn't seem to have that fact anywhere in their product description. I figured that it didn't, based on the price, but having that spelled out clearly in the listings would be pretty useful and save on Amazon having to deal with a bunch of returns from people who needed to have one with a tuner. Philips may be a decent brand, but we don't have a cable or satellite box and hook up our stuff directly to the RF cable from the cable company, so this unit would do us no good whatsoever. If your cable hook up setup is similar, SKIP this unit.
Great valueNovember 16, 2008 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
This is an excellent value. The description neglects to state this model is not cable ready. There are two solutions.
1. Use a cable converter box. 2. Purchase a (female) coax to (male) RCA converter for a few dollars.
Very disappointedNovember 15, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this thinking I would be able to at least record incoming video from cable, nope. There is no coax cable hook up, RCA hook up only. After a couple of months the VCR started to eat my tapes when the tape started to rewind. At first I thought it was due to the heads being dirty but after the fourth tape was eaten I have come to the conclusion that the VCR has a Gremlin.
The DVD player is okay.
Perhaps I got a lemon.
I suggest that others think of getting a different combo player.
Good DVD/VCR player with annoying remoteSeptember 8, 2008 9 out of 9 found this review helpful
After suffering through a couple of really junky DVD/VCR combinations, I have been happy with this Philips model. I've now been using it for nine months and have had no problems at all. It plays DVD flawlessly, even those scratched-up rental discs. I don't use the VCR all that much, but when I do, it works without a problem.
One nice feature is that if you turn off the DVD player in the middle of a movie, and you don't eject the disc, it will remember where you left off. The next time you power on, it will ask whether you want to resume, or start over from the beginning. That's an essential convenience, and unbelievably not not all players will do that!
My only complaint is the remote. A good remote will have different button shapes that you can feel without looking down at them. This one has some essential buttons close together with the same exact shape, which means you have to look down to make sure you're about to press the correct one.
As to the reviewers who complain that this unit has no tuner, well, you need to do your research before buying, and now you know! As long as you're using a separate tuner, you should be fine with this model.
Avoid this for sureAugust 28, 2008 9 out of 10 found this review helpful
I bought one of these & I have to say it's really bad. The set-up is complicated. The remote has every button you can imagine but you can never seem to find the one you want because the layout is complicated & not functionally organized. Bigger issues. The VCR player quit after a very short period of use. Next, the remote quit working. Without that, the DVD functions don't work because there's no manual option. This thing is a piece of junk.
