GoVideo DV1030 DVD/VCR Combo

Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Easy to set up and even easier to operate, the compact and affordable GoVideo DV1030 gives you a full-featured DVD player/CD player to handle your movies and music--including MP3 files stored on CD-R or CD-RW--and a built-in four-head, hi-fi, stereo VCR to play your existing library of videotapes and record new programs. Front-panel audio/video inputs accommodate camcorder and gaming hookups, JPEG picture CD playback lets you watch slideshows of your digital photos, and the unit's compatibility with recordable DVDs (DVD-R, DVD-RW) makes copying your homemade tapes to discs, and vice versa, a breeze. The combo unit even lets you watch a DVD or listen to a CD while recording a TV show.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DV1030's DVD section stands ready to deliver the full potential of your commercial DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. Even without an HD-ready set, the component-video outputs can be set to output interlaced video, in which they help minimize line-scan and digital artifacts on compatible televisions. Composite- and S-video outputs bring DVD compatibility with nearly any television.

In the audio realm, two sets of left/right RCA analog-audio outputs (one each for the DVD player and the VCR) channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. For immersive home-theater audio from DVDs, both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's optical digital-audio output for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. If you don't have a surround receiver or six-channel speaker setup, you can still make every movie night the ultimate experience: 3D Surround simulates surround sound through two speakers (even the stereo speakers on your TV).

This model's four-head VCR design ensures smooth slow-motion play (forward and reverse) and clear still-frame images, while hi-fi sound records and plays back stereo audio tracks. If you route the stereo output to an AV receiver, you can even enjoy four-channel (left, center, right, and monaural surround) Dolby Pro Logic mixes from TV and Dolby-encoded videotapes. Convenient features include eight-event, one-year programming, 19-micron heads (which deliver the clearest possible picture when recording or viewing in extended-play mode), and auto clock and channel sets.

What's in the Box
DVD/VCR combo player/recorder, remote control, remote batteries (2 AAA), user's manual, and stereo analog audio interconnect/composite-video cable.

Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Same results as others.......2005-12-05

It worked ok for a year. although I agreed with another reviewer who commented on the bad remote. After about a year it started giving me the bad disc response! I would not reccomend this player.

1 out of 5 stars Worked fine for approx. 8 months then died.......2005-11-21

DVD side of this player says all my discs are "bad discs". I have to smack it on the sides or top to make it work. But even then in the middle of the movie it dies. I have even tried cd/dvd cleaners to no avail. So I will be buying a new dvd player because this is an extreme annoyance.

One thing I never liked was the remote control--buttons are tiny & not clearly marked.

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS DVD/VCR player no matter how low the cost!

1 out of 5 stars Don't buy it!.......2005-04-19

Yes, believe the bad reviews and save yourself some major frustration. The price suckers you in. This product worked ok for a year, but once the warranty was up, the machine stopped working altogether. The "professional service" is a joke. They don't care, and it shows. It would cost more to fix this piece of junk than to buy a new one, and that's what I have to do. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

4 out of 5 stars govideo dv 1030 is good buy.!.......2005-04-08

the go video i have the dv1030 dvd/vcr is good,i purchased it here on amazon.com.i was alittle afraid due to some of the reviews i looked at, but mine is find;the dvd plays well and the vcr is ok.only thing i could see the vcr picture is alittle soft.due to no h.q. circuits,other wise i found it's agood buy.

1 out of 5 stars Stay away from Go Video.......2005-03-20

I purchased this player from Ecost.com and was over charged. The unit I bought was factory reconditioned, so I figured it would be in mint condition. It never worked on the DVD side when it arrived. These units when not working are to be returned to Go Video for repair. So you are stuck with paying the shipping to them. This will cancel out any great buys you might think you are getting. STAY AWAY FROM GO VIDEO!!!!!!!!!

    Amazon.com Product Description

    Enjoy movies, music, slideshows, and more on the remanufactured GoVideo DV1030, which combines a progressive scan DVD player with a four-head hi-fi VCR. It's the perfect machine for users who want access to the latest video technologies without sacrificing their old VHS collection, and for folks who want to record from the TV without investing in a more expensive DVD or digital video recorder. Video playback is crisp and impressive thanks to the progressive scan technology, which stands ready to deliver the full potential of your DVDs when connected to an HDTV. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

    Though DVDs are clearly the feature attraction, the DV1030 also plays several other audio and video formats, including audio CDs, CD-R/RWs, DVD-R/RWs, DVD+R/RWs, and MP3 or JPEG files recorded on a CD-R/RW disc. The VCR portion, meanwhile, offers playback of traditional and home-recorded VHS tapes, along with recording from either the TV or DVD player. It even lets users watch a DVD and record a TV program on VHS at the same time. In addition, both slow-motion and still-frame images look smooth and clear thanks to the four 19-micron heads, which ensure the best possible picture when recording.

    Audio-wise, the device supports 5.1-channel surround sound through its built-in Dolby Digital and DTS audio outputs, along with virtual 3-D surround. Additional features include a 181-channel cable-ready TV tuner with an eight-event/one-year timer; multilanguage onscreen programming in English, French, or Spanish; component, S-video, and composite outputs; two stereo RCA audio outputs; and a full-function remote control that operates both the DVD and VCR portions.

    The DV1030 measures 17 by 3.6 by 10 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a 90-day warranty on labor.
