Samsung DVD-V8500

Pros: 3-D LIKE DVD PICTURE QUALITY. EXCEPTIONAL SOUNDing DVD AND VCR. AUTO DVD/VCR SWITHCING.

Cons: QUICK SET-UP GUIDE MIGHT CONFUSE THOSE UNFAMILIAR TO HOME THEATER HOOK-UPS.

The Bottom Line: Buy Samsung, especially if on sale. High quality performance. Definitely much better than the no-name "off" brands.

Review: Just purchased this SAMSUNG V8500 the other day. My cheapy DVD player died on me. Do NOT believe those negative reviews. Please read on before deciding.

First of all, this SAMSUNG is easy to hook-up. You can connect video via component,...

Pros: This is not the only choice out there. The $20 ones at Walmart are better.

Cons: 1 hate 2 sucks 3 hate 4 sucks 5 hate 6 sucks 7 hate

Review: I believe every negative review written about this player.
Same exact problem with the DVD not playing, so for the person who wrote "don't believe.." I'll gladly trade mine with yours...hey, they're both the same model! Then again probably...

Pros: Inexpensive, good VCR unit

Cons: Very poor DVD player, difficult to program into remote.

Review: I have had better experiences with electronics. This DVD/VCR combo is a better VCR player than a DVD player. With DVD's. it has a tendency to be very jerky and inconsistent. It pauses by itself for no apparent reason.
It also not easy to...

Pros: It had the appearance of a nice combo of VCR/DVD/JPEG player.

Cons: It doesn't actually work. Seems like a major con in my book!

Review: Boy am I mad! I bought this today and went to set it up... the VCR player worked fine, but the DVD drawer refused to open. I tried using both the remote and the button on the unit itself- multiple times!
I would definitely avoid this product!
