this be a combo dvd\/vcr unit and if it be not for the dvd player that do not work i would give it four star . apparently the dvd player have software issue and magnavox\/phillips be aware of they but continue to sell the product . the manufacturer have a one year exchange warranty but then you have to deal with ship the thing across the country and at you own cost by the way . consider how heavy it be you may be better off buy a different model from a manufacturer who care about quality control and customer satisfaction . but if you want to take you chance i love the a\/v input in the front and the sound be pretty good .
