Product Description
SYLVANIA DVC-860E, PROGRESSIVE SCAN DVD/VCR COMBO

Amazon.com Product Description
Ultimate quality, ultimate convenience: from high-end progressive-scan video output for DVD programs to MP3 music playback from homemade CD-Rs, DVD-R/RW playback, and backward compatibility with your library of VHS tapes, Sylvania's DVC860E offers a wealth of audio/video features. The unit sports an easy-to-read fluorescent front-panel display, and your camcorder or gaming console plugs right into the unit's front panel for hassle-free connections.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DVC860E stands ready to deliver the full potential of your DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

Other DVD features include Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel digital output (a coaxial connection, cable not included) for hookup with a compatible audio/video receiver and speaker system, simulated surround sound through any two speakers, 2x and 4x zoom, search speeds up to 100x, 10-point bookmarking, and parental lock.

The VCR's four-head design ensures smooth slow-motion play (forward and reverse) and clear still-frame images, and the unit records and plays back stereo audio in hi-fi sound. Nineteen-micron heads deliver the clearest possible picture when recording or viewing in EP (extended-play) mode. The VCR also offers a built-in calendar, advance programming, and auto head cleaning.

Inputs and outputs include front and rear audio/video and an RF input for the VCR, and for the DVD player, component-video, S-video, and composite-video outputs, as well as one each stereo analog and coaxial digital-audio outputs. Auto power off conserves energy and extends product life.

What's in the Box
DVD/VCR, remote control, remote batteries, a user's manual, a stereo analog audio interconnect/composite-video cable, and warranty information.

1 out of 5 stars HORRIBLE   December 27, 2009
D. Peifer
I am now finished with my THIRD combo of this model! I purchased 1 for my oldest child, just after a year the DVD stopped reading DVDs and then stopped opening. I purchased another to replace it and then a 3rd for my other child .... they each lasted about a year as well.... on each and every one of them the DVD stopped reading DVD's ... and then shortly after the VCR started eating tapes on 2 of them ....


1 out of 5 stars Extremely Disappointed   September 14, 2009
Kevin J. Sheridan (Rhode Island)
After I recieved in the first unit and set it up I began to have problems. Within 5 days of working with the new unit the DVD stopped reading any media put into it. I called and was told I would have to pay for the return RMA shipping. I refused and finally they paid for the return and sent out a new one. This one stopped working within 15 minutes of use. I will be returning this one as well and have asked for my money back! Turned out to be a very big waste of time.


3 out of 5 stars Decent product...   November 30, 2005

I ordered two of these combo players, one for my main television and one for my bedroom. After one year, one is playing just fine. On the other one, the DVD player stopped working after about 9 months. It's on the main television, so who is to say that my 3 year old didn't destroy it? I'll never know.

The picture quality is fine. While the DVD drawer is a bit on the flimsy side, it hasn't broken off. The process to go through to set the VCR to tape at a later time is quite cumbersome, however.

I orderd this product for my mother. It arrived on Mothers Day in a timely manner. She was able to hook it up with ease. I could easily track it for delivery.


1 out of 5 stars Stay Away from this one!   April 29, 2005

It is now April 29, 2005! I purchased one for a Christmas gift in early Dec., but because my sister was out of town, she did not plug it in until Jan.; it wouldn't eject the 1st tape put in. Since it was over a month since I purchased it, Amazon said I would have to utilize the warranty process. I did, bringing it into a "factory authorized" repair store.

It has been in there for 3, count 'em, three months, and the repair store says they still haven't received the necessary part....
