This player isn't flashy, but very functional. After 4 years of use, we have had zero problems. Simple to setup and operate and has good features - excellent given the price.

Bad Buy - Ohio Cat - Columbus, OH
Purchased 11/02 - after warranty ran out, unit began eating commercial VHS tapes. After prying tape out of unit, DVD worked, but now that is bad as well - unit continues to shut down automatically. Funai/Sylvania is no help an no service local to my area in Columbus, OH?? Repair probably higher than 5 cost - junk. Ignored the advice not to purchase combos - never again.
