Digital camera reviews of Samsung DVD-V9700 Tunerless 1080i Upconverting DVD VHS Combo Player
Digital camera Review: Samsung DVD-VCR Combo
Summary: 4 Stars
For the price ,I recommend it. Great little product. I sure wish America could still build em like this for this price. At this point I could start talking about lawyers and unions but lets stick to this product. America can't build em, and Samsung can. They make a great flat panel tv also. I recommend this Samsung product.Digital camera Review: Samsung DVD/VHS Combo

Bought only for playing DVD's and VHS tapes. Does not have a tuner but if your into renting or just watching prerecorded tapes this is the unit for you. So simple even the wife can use it!Samsung DVD-V9700 Tunerless 1080i Upconverting DVD VHS Combo PlayerDigital camera Review: Samsung to Samsung no HDMI support
Summary: 3 Stars
I have a Samsung 1080 HDTV. I bought this player because I thought I could use the same remote and an HDMI cable to merge the movie-watching experience. Unfortunately, the DVD player does not support HDMI in DD 5.1. This means that in order to get sound with HDMI video and DD, you have to have an optical output to a DD receiver/speaker system. Even at that point, the HDMI sound will only play from the DVD player to DD speakers. Also, the DVD/VCR conversion is not the best on the TV because the VCR can't play on the HDMI channel and has to have the feed through the AVI cables on a different source channel. This means that you have to use the TV remote, switch the source and audio, then go to the DVD/VCR remote, switch to VCR on that remote and use it to play. Forget consolidating remotes. Better yet, if you've got a Samsung TV, the two remotes look the same with similar buttons that have very different functions. Overall, the HDMI video signal is good. It has some trouble playing movies with poor quality and movies with light scratching (such as Blockbuster/Netflix rentals), but I guess that is the trade-off for a better signal from an upconvert.Digital camera Review: Samsung tunerless DVD and VCR

This combination DVD/VCR that I purchased was just as I expected. It was very easy to install onto my TV. I am not a lady who installs all things and I had no problem hooking it to my TV and it is working great and was a super deal on Amazon.Digital camera Review: VCR did not work at all

We bought one of these. Could not get the unit to read a VHS tape. Tried another VHS tape still would not read tape. VHS unit did not turn tape at all either for any function (REW, PLAY, FF etc).
Took it back to vendor (not Amazon) and got another unit. Had the exact same problems with new unit. We ended of buying a third unit with same results.
What a disaster and waste of time!
