You Might Want To Go With GoVideo!

33 Helpfuls 34 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros nifty unit, easy to use, inexpensive
Cons remote may be confusing
Recommended it? Yes

I will be the first to admit that when it comes to electronics, I tend to lag behind the curve. When new technology comes out, I am usually among the last to embrace it. An example of this is the DVD craze. My thought was that this would go the way of the Videodisk and Beta tape: nice ideas, but... Read full review »

DVD and VCR in one box!

Pros Did I mention VCR & DVD in one unit?
Cons No VCR +, no universal remote, see text of review
Recommended it? Yes

I've been hinting to my wife that I would like a DVD player for a few months now. Well, two weeks ago our VCR of five years decided to quit, so it was off to find a new VCR.

We visited a few stores and ended up at Costco. We were just about to pick up a VCR when I noticed a DVD/VCR Combo... Read full review »

Not that great

Pros DVD and VHS in one unit
Cons Poor quality DVD player, only adequate VHS
Recommended it? No

I have had my DVR-4000 for a few months and have not been that happy with the DVD functions of the unit. I am in the electronic repair business, so I thought I'd have a look inside. The DVD appears to use only a single laser for both CDs and DVDs compared to most decks which have a separate laser... Read full review »

For those who have wanted to upgrade to a DVD player, but wondered what to do with a huge VHS collection, here is the solution: Go Video's DVR4000.

The Worst Customer Service Ever

Pros DVD and VHS in one unit
Cons picture too bright, sound problems, wont play CDRWs Terrible Customer Service
Recommended it? No

I wanted to surprise my husband and daughter with a DVD player for Christmas. When I found the Go.Video DVR4000, I thought it would be perfect as we have a large collection of VHS tapes and didn't want to deal with multiple remotes and hooking up a bunch of cables.

When my husband opened... Read full review »

Pros DVD & VCR combo is a great idea!
Cons DVD player skips
Recommended it? No

I bought this at Costco after reading good reviews of the product. I really liked that it was a dvd & vcr combo, which takes up less space and less cables. The remote had this great feature that if my young children touched the face of the player, nothing would work for them; you had to use the... Read full review »

Beware Repair!

Pros Combo means less equipment, fewer cables/remotes. Good picture.
Cons Repair costs as much as a brand new machine!
Recommended it? No

Despite the fact that the remote never made sense to me, my unit worked fine for a year and a half then suddenly the VCR played only in B&W. Contacted GoVideo via email and they said to use a head cleaner (didn't help).

Local repair shop said it would be $50 to diagnose it and then they... Read full review »

Pros Space saving, reduces number of individual components.
Cons Poor quality, poor warranty, servicing unit extremely difficult.
Recommended it? No

I bought a DVR4000 to save on space and component hookups; it worked properly for 3 months then the tape unit stopped working. The warranty is parts/labor for 3 months, then parts only for the balance of one year. HOWEVER you are responsible for all shipping costs, etc. The service centers are few... Read full review »

A poor performer - avoid this model

Pros Sharp audio and video output quality; good looking cabinet; nice VCR component.
Cons Sensitive to scratched disks; won't play most audio CDs; auto time & date won't...
Recommended it? No

This model is discontinued as of this writing, but I thought I should warn anyone off who is thinking about buying a used/refurbished one.
This was one of the earliest DVD/VCR combo units on the market. It's a nice looking player, if a bit chunky (it's 8.5 inches in height).
I won't go... Read full review »

DVR4000 not worth it

Pros Great functions
Cons customer service
Recommended it? No

I had this product 4 months and the VCR part broke. I worked great until the VCR part broke. It would play a VCR tape but the counter would not work, the picture was fine for like 5 seconds and the tracking would go off then it would be a good picture again than it would go back to a bad picture...
