The product was shipped promptly via UPS. The upconverting feature works really well. The quality of the DVD discs I’ve played so far is pretty close to blu-ray quality. I have not used the VHS copy to DVD yet.

Here’s my story:
- I finally realize what all that talk about copyright protection is about. I purchased the Samsung DVD-VR375 1080p Up-Converting VHS Combo DVD Recorder to dub my personal VHS tapes to DVD. When I tried to copy my VHS movies (like Heavy Metal which I purchased from a store about a decade ago) to DVD, it stopped a few seconds in saying that it can’t dub because of the copy protection signal endcoded on it.
I am now learning that is because I am trying to copy video that has embedded macrovision protection. Taping over the hole on the cassette doesn’t help because that hole is only designed to tell your VCR not to allow you to accidentally record over the cassette. This is one of the reasons the Samsung DVD-VR375 1080p Up-Converting VHS Combo DVD unit is useless because all it allows me to copy is my own home movies. From what I am told one needs to incorporate a Digital Video Stabilizer.
To add annoyance to the above problem I also had to contend with the fact that after dubbing a home made VHS tape to DVD the VOB files it created were NOT created properly.
So, I’m returning this for a full refund including shipping costs.
Live and learn. And, thanks copyright protection for protecting me from myself.

I ordered this from Epsonseller. I believe they do business under the name New Idea and others.
They didn’t ship because, I find out from them, UPS canceled their account for non-payment. They stopped answering my requests for information and are refusing to issue a refund or ship the item.
Avoid this seller, and be aware that you won’t get much help.

I like the dvd/vcr very much. I did not know that there is no tuner in the recorder when I purchased it. I cannot record from the tv without a box of some sort. I did not purchase it for that purpose so it is ok.
