Great Value for money I bought the unit a few days ago and Works great. DVD player plays all formats as mentioned. I have some CD-R/VCD/CD-RW from different countries and it could play it all. VCR is pretty good too, however some noise through the coaxial. Memory reader is a cool feature, reads Sony Memory Stick well. Slideshow is a good feature. Universal Remote is nice, operates TV/VCR/DVD as well. Compared to V4600 reviews, I think Samsung has done a good job with this model. It is compact and slick compared to some other brands. Issue: "Memory Stick Pro" could not read Sandisk 256mb. Also, photoviewer in general is very slow. This is a great value for money ! Just a poorly-designed unit So, as soon as I get it home, I only get sound from the right channel when using a DVD, but both when playing a VHS. So that means there's an internal fault somewhere with the DVD player. Also, I've never seen a DVD player where pressing Menu while a DVD is playing, brings you to the system menu, NOT the DVD's menu. That is ridiculous. My unit is definitely going back, and will be replaced with a Sony or something else NON-Samsung. Very dissapointed. Horrible remote. Have had this for several years. The player actually works okay for both VCR and DVD use. However, the remote control is so poorly designed, I rarely use the unit. The buttons are small, and as another reviewer commented, pressing menu takes you back to the main setup, and you have to start over. It's too bad, because as I said, I have had no technical issues with the DVD play, VCR play, or memory card. You will regret buying this unit. I use component hookup for my DVD, and have the sound connected to a Sony receiver control center. No technical issues at all. Still only a one. What a horrible remote.
