TVGuardian DVD/VCR combos are very hard to find. In fact, you pretty much HAVE to buy them refurbished. I checked all the models that came with TVGuardian (RCA, Sanyo, Memorex). They are all refurbished. I wondered why. Was there something wrong with them? Not really. In fact, it's not the model of the VCR that's the issue. It's the TVGuardian company. They must have recalled their DVD/VCR players to install a little something that requires a code in order for the TVG to even work. How do you get the code for it to work? You have to go to the TVGuardian website (www.tvguardian.com) and purchase the code for each DVD player for $29.95. I guess the company needed more money during these hard times. So I say, not to complain necessarily, but to warn. If you purchased a memorex DVD/VCR combo and you actually care about using the TVGuardian to filter out all those cuss words in movies (which pretty much includes all modern films), than get your thirty bucks ready. If you swear like a sailor yourself, and don't give a care about profanity, than I guess you don't have to worry about the extra money.Read full review
The published description of this machine is DVD RECORDER. Most people who buy a unit labeled DVD recorder would expect it to record DVD. But it does not. It only PLAYS DVD. It will not record new DVD for you. The machine is designed like those units whose specific job is transfer old VHS tapes to the DVD medium. This looks like such machines, with a VHS slot on one side, and a DVD portal on the other. But you can not transfer anything. You can both record and play back VHS tapes. The playback of both styles of recording is okay, and the tape recording is acceptible. If you only need a machine to play DVD and not record discs, this might be satisfactory for you.
I found this unit to be a space saving, good looking machine with only 1 drawback - no HDMI. With a unit such as this containing a 6 head vcr and a progressive scan dvd player, one would come to expect at least 1 input and 1 output that was HDMI. Other than that 1 drawback I found the unit to be of good construction with easy to use controls, both on the unit and the remote. The video output was very clear and the sound decent. I would recommend this unit to anyone trying to save space with a non high definition television.
Came 8 days early. Super well packed in box. Snug fit with several layers if bubble wrap. Looks brand new.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
For those folks that still use VHS and DVDs, this is good equipment to have.
