Samsung DVD-VR325 Review

- Samsung's sleek, black DVD-VR325 pairs a DVD recorder with a VHS videotape recorder, a winning combination that makes copying old videotapes (if they aren't copy-protected) a breeze. Another noteworthy attribute: The $400 DVD-VR325 has HDMI output to support an all-digital video and audio connection--in a single cable--to an HDTV. (HDMI remains a rarity on DVD recorders.)

User Reviews for Samsung DVD-VR325 DVD Recorder/vcr Combo

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Samsung quality!

    Weaknesses: none

    Overall Evaluation: I love this product. I like the design and it works perfect. The only complains are that it only accept Dvd-r and not dvd+r. Also I wish there was a component in; it only has component out. Overall, I love it! I recommend it!

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: good picture, good flexiblity of dvd functions & settings

    Weaknesses: limited connectivity with tv - has to be set to RF channel to view instead of selecting input (e.g. AV1, AV2,..) from tv. remote signal is either easily interfered or pretty weak from 7'.

    Overall Evaluation: unit was fairly easy to connect to my A/V system. picture is great on both vcr & dvd. really disappointed that connection to tv is limited to RF connection. (i.e., tv has to be set to channel 3 or 4.).. automatic time setup does not work well. had to manually set time, but when power is off it reverts back to a default time which is still wrong... labels on remote are so small its hard to read, but the unit does perform well.
