DVD/VCR combi

Looking to buy a DVD/VCR combi to replace an old (ish) VCR and DVD players. Any advice re good (play CD, CDR, MP3 and if possible DVD-R and DVD+R) and reliable models.

I have the Phillips DVR 755. It is OK, but I am glad I got it for £80 through the Marshall Ward misprice a few months ago. I woiuld have hated to pay full price.

Whilst it is true that you get a video and dvd combined, don`t fall in to the trap of thinking that you are getting a fully featured player for either discipline. The VCR, for eaxample, doesn`t handle PDC, nor does it handle smartlink.

Thanks Stephen

I was concerned about the reduction in features/quality by buying a combi. I was looking at the Toshiba models, but still have major concerns.

Thanks once again.

Robert
