Samsung SV-DVD54T

Samsung's 3-in-1 device includes technology both old and new. It has a VCR, DVD player, and a digital set top box to bring SD pictures into your living room.

Eliminates the need for three separate units. Integrated remote control simplifies usage. Dual tuners allow you to watch one program while recording another.

DVD is only for playback; not a DVD recorder. Bulky unit compared to slimline DVD players.

Samsung have successfully integrated three devices (DVD,VCR,STB) into one unit suitable for people that want to future proof their home entertainment device for when analog broadcasts cease or those who can't let go of their VCR.

Samsung SV-DVD54T

A solid combination of three products - STB, DVD player, VHS tape recorder/player

Efficient in concept ; Reduces number of boxes in your setup

Completely unable to play anything other than standard conventional DVDs. Forget about CD-R etc. Careful reading of the manual gives this fact away ; Breaks down not infrequently, have needed to use an extended warranty several times (glad I bought...

"It's good"

Was able to forget about the rooftop antenna and go with a rabbit ear set up. Pictures are dead perfect, no reception issues whatsoever. Plays all the DVDs I rented. I ran cables to my stereo and the sound is good - much better than what I was getting...
