    I know that Samsung and LG makes the Combo player. They should be good.

    I have a Sony, and it's good, but there are remote problems when using universal remotes. The new Sony TV I just bought has a remote that won't work with it.

    My parents have a Panasonic, and I think that's a good one as well. Don't know about any possible remote problems with that one, though.

    I have a Samsung, and it works fine. Occassionally there's a logic problem that requires I unplug the unit and plug it back in.

    Two things to note: While a combo player reduces cable clutter, it's invariably more expensive than buying a seperate DVD player and VCR. Also, you cannot dub a commercial DVD directly to a tape in the VCR.

    Just got a Toshiba V392. Less than $140. Have only had it a couple of weeks, but works great. Chose that brand because I've had good luck with a dedicated DVD player I bought (and still have) several years ago.

    My cousin has the Toshiba & hasn't had any complaints. My aunt has one from Hitachi & it's been great for her.

    Our local Sony outlet had VHS/DVD players a week before Xmas at $99.99. They also had DVD-only players for $39. (Our joke when we saw those: pay $10 more than Wal*Mart, and avoid the stampede. :D ) I almost wish I'd bought one (or two) back then, but I'm sure they'll have more deals next time I go up there. That combo player is the same one Target sells for more than $150 (I think I saw it there for $179...?).

    I picked up an "out-of-the-box" Sansui DVD/VCR combo player at Sears last year for $69 bucks.

    Great for the bedroom system.

    I buy Panasonic whenever given the option. Next pick is Toshiba.
