Excellent VCR, once you figure out how to use it

Date of Review:  Dec 24, 2000
Review: After just returning from living in Europe, where we had built up a large video collection, we were needing to by a multi-system VCR. When I first started shopping for them here in the US, I was in shock. The prices were huge ($1000+), or you had to...

Got SECAM?

Date of Review:  Mar 17, 2002
The Bottom Line: This is a great way to watch the videos you purchased abroad...be aware that all your friends will want you to convert stuff for them!
Review: I bought this VCR so we could watch tapes purchased in Europe and Russia. After shopping around quite a bit, I finally decided this was the best "bang for your buck" and would up purchasing it at B&H Photo in New York for about $375.

Samsung SV5000W multi standard VCR The reference unit for the cosmopolitan !

Date of Review:  Dec 4, 2003
The Bottom Line: Once you get through the setup, you never worry about the TV standards again. Put any tape in an watch it. Picture quality is excellent
Review:

I am from Europe and was looking for a multi standard VCR, to be able to show the movies from home to the kids.
You don't get them in any retail shops and the search for the right...

Consider a different VCR

Date of Review:  Aug 7, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you have to get this VCR for overseas tapes and home movie conversion, but the VCR from a reputable company and purchase the extended warranty
Review: This unit was given to me as a gift and after less than 15 hours of use it broke down. This happened to be 13 months after it was purchased. Samsung customer service was no help to me at all. The build quality of this rather expensive unit is simply...

Around the World

Date of Review:  Mar 5, 2002
The Bottom Line: Anyone who needs to watch PAL tapes in the US will find this VCR to be a good buy. Good looking vcr that feels well built.
Review: I bought the Samsung SV-5000W for really only one reason. I needed to record some PAL videos into NTSC tapes. I didn't want to pay alot for a vcr that would find limited use in my home. I was surprised to see how few PAL VCRs are available in the...

Not recommended, unless you don't mind paying for out-of-warranty repairs!

Date of Review:  May 12, 2007
Review: I purchased this product because I was impressed with its ability to play or record any format. I purchased several PAL videos and was able to view them with ease on my NTSC TV.
All the good was negated by one major defect. Looks like from...

The good idea , but bad device

Date of Review:  Sep 11, 2006
Review: I have bought it 2 years ago and it is dead now. The problem in power supply, I guess. Also, it was always white traces on the screen. Samsung doesn't provide any information about repair on them website. Bad device, bad marketing with good idea.

Good thing but only if you have long enough warranty

Date of Review:  Aug 4, 2003
The Bottom Line: Buy it , but only with extended warranty at least for three years. Everything is fantastic until you come to repairs.
Review: I bought it 2.5 years ago.First year I was happy-it is really a good machine while working. Just one month after warranty had ended it died. Microchip in power supply block (which is integrated on main board)broke. I paid for repair the price...

DOA after 2 years

Date of Review:  Jan 11, 2007
Review: Bought it to play PAL tapes which it did well. After a couple of years (and probably 20 hours of use) it died. They wanted $100 to quote the repair so I bailed. I expect that the units for sale are old stock so you will have the same problem.

Beware of power supply problems

Date of Review:  Jun 23, 2006
Review: I bought one of these machines several years ago to play my PAL tapes here in the US. After about 18 months it died. One day it just would not function. I had my brother, an electrician check the inside - fuse etc. which seemed fine, but it was...
