As with the old VCR this replaces, simply pop in a tape and it turns itself on and plays tape. Great for my folks; but they were overwhelmed by all the buttons on the remote, too much, too confusing. Younger people will like all the bells and whistles, but why would young people want a Video Tape player? And you can't record, as there is no digital tuner. Better off with the old separate machines...

Comments about Toshiba SD-V296 DVD/VCR Combo Player:
I purchased this product from B&H after searching for a DVD/VCR combo player and reading the reviews of other products. This Toshiba combo player is perfect for playing my old VCR tapes and my new and old DVD movies; my next step is to tape my favorite shows while I'm at work, and I'm sure this product will do that to my satisfication. The set up was quick and easy, and the picture is crystal clear. I would recommend this product to those of you who are on the fence about purchasing a DVD/VCR combo player.

I use this player for watching VHS tapes and DVDs at home. I use it no more than two to four hours a week, but so far I'm satisfied. The VHS player is remarkably quiet. The unit is easy set up and operated. At this point, I can't find any flaw with the unit.

I used this DVD/VCR combo to play DVD movies. It was quite easy to hook up to my TV. Performance was flawless, with excellent picture quality. The VCR component was also easy to use and gave excellent picture quality. Remote worked without a hitch. I would buy this product again.

We use 2 of these DVD/VCR players in our non-profit organization regularly for parenting classes! They have worked GREAT so far, and have definetely "done the job". Very user-friendly, and basic (just what we need). No complaints about it yet, other than wishing it was a bit smaller in size.

I bought this for my elderly uncle who likes to watch DVD's and VHS tapes. The setup was easy and that was the main reason that I bought this one. My uncle is very satisfied with this player and as long as he likes it, I give it the 4 stars.

Comments about Toshiba SD-V296 DVD/VCR Combo Player:
I use this combo player to view DVD's and video cassettes. I was planning to use it to record video, too. However, there is no UHF input on the back of the unit - so I can't feed the cable signal directly in. I have a separate VCR for recording and then I watch video on this unit. It works very well and I've always been pleased with Toshiba products.

I have only had this for a few weeks but one of the reasons I purchased it was because of the ease of setting up which is huge for poeple who are tech challenged! Set up was a breeze & the picture quality is great. I really only use it to watch videos & dvd's so it's great for me.

Comments about Toshiba SD-V296 DVD/VCR Combo Player:
I like this combination player, I bought it because I already own one just like it and needed another. The only thing that would have made it better would be a better price. You can buy machines that perform the same function for less, but Toshiba makes a good product and I expect that the quality will stand the test of time. SD-V296 DVD/VCR COMBO w/VCP
Just one con: tiny buttons for VCP functions
