Overview
A household with shelves of VHS tapes and DVDs gets both players in this Magnavox combo, which records to tape from a line-in source and plays discs with progressive scan video out. Dolby Digital stream out and a virtual surround mode cover the sound.
Choose it to free up shelf space by replacing two decks with one, with the cables and remote already supplied. Because it is tunerless, it cannot record broadcast channels unless an outside tuner supplies the signal.
Who it's for
Playing movies on DVD, dubbing between formats and recording from a cable box or satellite receiver through the line-in are the use cases. Buyers who want a built-in tuner, disc recording or high-definition video should choose a different device.
Pros and cons
- DVD and VCR in one unit
- Progressive scan video out
- Remote and cables included
- Universal voltage range
- No tuner for broadcast recording
- Standard-definition video only
- Two AA batteries needed for the remote
- Labor warranty limited to a short term
Performance notes
Video from tape or disc reaches the TV through RCA or S-Video, with progressive scan available on the disc side. Line-in recording takes signal from an outside source, and the satellite link recording and power-off through features pass the signal along to the output. The voltage range allows use on mains power in many regions.
