Philips DVP3345V/17 DVD/VCR Combo Review

I set this unit up with a Philips PH 61159 modulator. In other words I hooked up the two units to an old TV that only has a 75 ohm F connector on the back. This allowes both a roof antenna and this combo unit to be connected to an older TV doesn't have RCA inputs. This arrangement worked great until the HD switchover. Now I'm going to add an HD converter box until it's time to buy a new television. For playing movies from VHS tapes and DVDs this unit works great. This unit has been light use since December 2008. No issues.

Customer Reviews

Defective after three years. - A. Ryder -
I have a slightly different model, but in essentials I believe it is the same player as this one. I noticed other users also posted that they had this problem, and some earlier than others! I've hardly tried to play any VHS tapes on it at all, but recently (after three years of satisfied ownership) I tried to play a VHS tape with it and it "kindly but stubbornly" refused. This appeared to cause a further glitch to the system in that now, when I try to play DVDs, it will play them for a few minutes until the whole thing will shut itself off (usually after the VCR makes some angry clicks and whirs.) After that it will not work for even a few more seconds again without unplugging the machine for a couple of minutes, but even then it will only play DVDs for a few minutes more-- 10 minutes at the most-- before shutting down again.br /br /It is very frustrating and I am currently dismantling it for fun before I throw it away. I would have hoped it would last as long as my old combo DVD player; I can't remember the model but it lasted at least ten years. Too bad this one couldn't cut it.
