Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Good buy Comment: This product is well worth the price. The picture and sound quality are great. The only negatives I have found are the small stuff. Mine doesn't keep time. If I record something it does something to the clock to throw it off time. The menu controls are very sluggish in responding. When selecting "menu" to do any of the programing functions it takes quite a while for the menu to come up and every selection you make after that takes a few seconds to register/respond. Other than that I really like the unit, saves lots of space and output quality is great. I'm a big fan of Samsung electronics. Customer Rating: Summary: Doesn't Record Comment: Anyone that buys this - should know - this doesn't record. Talking VHS portion of the unit. We bought this for an elderly person - in order they could record their "shows" - and found after trying to install - it doesn't connect into the TV in order to do this. So if you are buying it - it only plays existing DVD's and VHS's - NO RECORDING FAVORITE SHOWS. We were very angry and this information doesn't show up on the "fine print". You don't know you haven't got the same SAMSUNG unit - made a few years ago. It's okay - if you just want to play something. We were extremely angry. Phillips is making the only unit that will still record VHS - and play. We had to buy that one and ship it - will keep the player in case we lose our exiting equipment. Customer Rating: Summary: Good For The Money Comment: The DVD player didn't work on the first one I got, but Amazon was quick to make it right by sending me another. The new one works as expected for the money spent. You do have to hook up the VCR and DVD player seperately. You would think that the VCR signal could be converted into a digital signal and sent through the HDMI also, but NOT! Overall, a good buy with an easy to use menu and great picture quality. Customer Rating: Summary: Samsung DVD/VCR Combo Player Comment: The player works great. It rewinds & fast forwards very fast & has a counter for the VCR when fast forwarding, it counts by the hour on the tapes. When in pause mode (vcr) after 5 min it will start to play again. The remote is easy to use, not complicated at all. Thinking about getting a second one for future use. Customer Rating: Summary: VCR did not work from the beginning Comment: My old VCR was beginning to "eat" tapes, and I wanted a product that would combine a good DVD and a VCR player. After extensive study, I warned my wife that finding a good VCR player is a crap shoot, but this model seemed the best choice... I LOST. The VCR player could fast forward and rewind, but WOULD NOT PLAY. I spent about 1/2 hour with tech support and they told me to send it back for repair. I opted to return it to Amazon. That process was simple and straightforward, a benefit of buying from Amazon. Just a general suggestion: wean yourself off VCR tapes (I immediately replaced $50 of children's videos my son wants to keep with DVDs). More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: This versatile unit plays both DVD discs and VHS tapes, delivering crisp pictures and high-quality sound. Samsung's DVD-V9800 includes a 4-head Hi-Fi VCR with the added visual clarity of progressive scan output and allows MP3, JPEG and WMA playback.
