Attractive Black front panel. Easy to set up, worked first time right out of box ! Video and audio quality good for a mid priced unit. Quiet DVD and Tape. Labels for lights and buttons on front of unit difficult to read in dim/under shelf location. Remote is on the small side. Some remote button labels in blue difficult to read in low light, not back lit. Still pleased with the purchase and give 4 stars. Worth the price

This is the way to go. Phillips has made a great little machine here. The controls aren't as straight forward as a stand alone machine, but 5 minutes with the manual will take care of that. Its quite simple to use once you get the hang of it. So far no problem. DVD and VHS playback are great. VHS recording is good quality. I'm not dissapointed at all. If you don't have either a dvd or vcr stand alone or if you're looking to replace both at the same time I'd recomend this model. I'm sure there are higher quality playback and record features on some stand alones but I haven't had any qualms here. Also this is something of a space saver. If I had to do it over again I wouldn't hesitate picking this model again.

I found this unit to have a very good picture quality in the VCR mode. In the DVD mode is not was as good as I thought it would be. It may be in the Quality of the DVD movies I tried. I do have it hooked up with the S-vidio cable to the TV. Hope to hear more form others that know more about this high-teck stuff. Thanks John

Want Philips DVD740VR DVD-VCR Combo Discount?

I would at all costs stay away from any product made by Phillips. I bought a dvd/vcr combo, it broke, I shipped it to them for repair, they charged me shipping and then sent back another broken unit. They then refused to take it back at their expense, even though they had shipped a broken unit (The first time the dvd didn't work, the unit they shipped to me had a defective vcr). Their customer service people have no authority to help you, and neither does their management. Repeated attempts to move up the ladder were ignored (i.e. being constantly told they weren't available, they never returned phone calls even after telling me they would, etc.). Beware of any Phillips product.

I bought this model a year ago and love it! It's easy to use, easy to see and beautiful, and have had zero problems with it.

I bought a different brand for another room and have only used it 3 times since. That was about 9 months ago.

Guess which one I'm going to be buying again so I can get rid of the other? ;-)
