Inputs and outputs include front and rear audio/video and an RF input for the VCR, combined DVD and VCR audio/video and RF outputs, and for the DVD player, component-video, S-video, and composite-video outputs, as well as one each stereo analog and coaxial digital-audio outputs.

Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Ok for the price........2007-05-18

The good:
Cheap. Lots of inputs & outputs. Good looks. Dolphin Screensaver.

The bad: confusing remote. Hard to program.

This is decent for the price I paid. Mine stopped loading disks properly after 3 years of heavy use and a move and is now on its way to the electronics recycler. I think I only paid like $50 for it way back when, so this is neither surprising nor really disappointing either.

4 out of 5 stars Still kickin after a few years.......2007-01-19

Good buy for money. A little bulky but overall good product. It's not progressive scan (for you flat panel owners)so look elsewhere.

2 out of 5 stars There's better to be had at this price-point..........2006-12-13

I've had two of these units for three years now - both in fine working order, although I practically never used their VHS features. They're light, easy to work with, and the remote control is easy to figure and hold.

There is no DTS-mode for these.

At the time of this writing, I'm sure that spending $100.00 on a DVD unit nets you better options...

2 out of 5 stars Bad Investment.......2005-11-24

This was a christmas present to my husband only two years ago. It began "eating" VHS tapes six months ago and now refuses to recognize DVDs, but it will still play CDs. If we didn't need another CD player this would still be a useful piece of equiptment, but as it is, don't buy this and plan on it working for more than two years.

5 out of 5 stars Well worth it!.......2004-11-09

Definately a good buy if you're looking for an easy to use, inexpensive unit. Its nice having both the dvd and vhs player in the same deck, its convenient and saves space. I previously owned a more expensive panasonic unit and the picture quality in this dual deck is actually better. Not too expensive, all the features i was looking for. Good buy.
