Trouble with VCR:
This product(Philips DVP3150V HiFi DVD/VCR Combo, Purchased on 11/09/2008)was supposedly refurbished but the VCR section was defective. I returned it to the DiscountJungle/Amazon.com vendor but still haven't received a replacement.

Mediocre quality, low price:
Pluses: Low price, combo DVD/VCR.
Minuses: poor screen quality, quirks.
We use it for time-shifting news programs, which doesn't require great clarity, and for very occasional DVD watching. We learned how to do this, which it does well enough, and the price (about $55, shipping and all) was right.
It records only the top half of the screen in color; the bottom half fades into black and white. It may be because we bought a refurbished model.
It can only be programmed for 8 recordings... more info
Love It, Love It!!:
I am so glad I ordered this DVD/VCR combo. I still have a lot of movies on VHS so rather than get rid of them, purchase the movies all over again on DVD, I decided to order this wonderful machine. Now I can enjoy all my favorite old movies and my favorite new releases on the same machine. I love it!
Philips DVP3150V HiFi DVD/VCR Combo:
This unit was bought at a great price. It arrived in its original factory carton and everything I needed for a fast hookup was in the box. I have been using it for a month and am completely satisfied. While it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of a more expensive unit, it work just fine for our needs.
