Pros A good combo with many features.
Cons none yet.
Recommended it? Yes

(SEE NOTE BELOW)

I was replacing a broken 13" TV-VCR Sylvania combo I had for the spare room. The grandkids use the spare room when they come to visit. I wanted a separate TV & VCR this time since the combos don't seem to last long. It just lasted long enough until the warranty expired. I... Read full review »

The Samsung DVD-S5500 DVD/VCR Combo has been a solid performer for me since I have purchased it. It has given me no problems at all.

Operation is straight forward and easy to understand. The remote is easy to use and the controls all make sense.

The picture on the DVD is very... Read full review »

Cons Continually breaks - unusable!
Recommended it? No

Update to Review:

I contacted Samsung's customer service, and I have to say that they were quite responsive to our negative experiences. Even though the warranty has expired on our machine, they have agreed to authorize an exchange of our broken machine for a refurbished replacement... Read full review »

won't play a lot of our DVD's

Pros NONE
Cons Has great difficulty playing many DVD's that other players have no trouble with.
Recommended it? No

We purchased two of these units about a year ago. Both have difficulty playing DVD's that our other two Sony DVD players have no problem with. So the kids wind up watching "our set" because they can't play their work out videos and other store bought videos on their Samsung unis in their rooms... Read full review »

Absolutely the biggest piece of junk you will ever consider purchasing. Buy anything else besides Samsung. Terrible customer service, products are riddled with problems. Save yourself the grief. Read full review »

Pros Combo
Cons Loading trays malfunction.
Recommended it? No

After only about three months I had to send the unit back because the DVD tray wouldn't open. Now, a few months later, I'm having trouble with the VCR tray. This morning I stuck my finger in the slot and 'banged' on the tape with my finger and the tape ejected afterwards. Plays DVD's well. Playback... Read full review »

Cons None.

I am pleased with the overall picture quality for DVD and tape. Much faster response for tape and DVD operation than the Memorex MVD 4541 I tried.(But the Memorex has very good Image quality and features) I am also able to operate the basic DVD and VCR operations for the Samsung with my $8 RCA...

Unreliable Unit

Pros No problems with VCR.  Inexpensive unit.
Cons Lasted approximately 1 year before problems developed with the DVD player. 
Recommended it? No

Having purchased two units, one for me and one for my son, I must say these are the worst electronic devices I've ever bought.  Mine refuses to play many brand new discs and sticks at menu options most of the time.  My son wasn't using his, so I now have it and it too does the same thing.  These...
