Samsung DVD-V8600 DVD/CD Player w/Built-in HiFi VCR & Flash Reader – Customer Reviews
Samsung is a lemon brand! Do not buy from them!

First of all I tried to tuned in the TV channels, and only 3/5 of the commercial channels worked. Secondly I try and put a DVD in and the remote control is not very receptive. You repeatedly push the button and nothing happens when you try and use it. Thirdly it is slow and sluggish. Fourthly, now it won't accept NTSC and only PAL DVD's! Even though they were fine in the past. I put a NTSC DVD in, and the screen quality looked very poor and went green and now the VHS video side will work!
This is a lemon this brand! I'll never buy off these cons ever again!11/30/2005 12:00 AM | Rating:

Great Bang for the Buck

I'm not looking for anything fancy, but I want something to play the media I use.This unit plays +R's without a problem and does a nice job with store-bought dvd's as well (my combo Toshiba SD-K220S started having a problem sticking in the middle of the movie).
The finish could have be nicer and I'd given it 5 stars.7/15/2005 12:00 AM | Rating:
Great idea, poor implementation

I bought 2 of these units thinking I could replace my VCR and DVD player. The good news is that yes, it performs both functions just like my old VCR and my old DVD player, but no more! Oh, it does play back from my Flash cards, but I didn't buy it for that.
On the negative side, it won't play any of my VCDs or anything recorded on DVD-R, it also won't play anything on RW media either.
While it does do what it claims: plays both VCR tapes and DVDs, don't expect it to play your home made DVDs of your computer. It seems to only playback commercial DVDs. I didn't bother checking to see if it could playback MP3s since I didn't buy it for that.
I have a Sony DVD player that seems to playback everything I put in it. I am very disappointed with this Samsung player. Great idea! Poor implementation!7/10/2005 12:00 AM | Rating:
A great machine

I got this from a big box store for a good price (less than $100). It's a good DVD player. I like the flash reader for my digital camera. It's hard to fast forward with the DVD, and the display panel for the DVD needs work. You cant tell what chapter you're on, and I miss that.
