    I consulted the instruction booklet to see if there was perhaps a setting on the recorder that perhaps was in need of adjustment, yet the instruction booklet is incredibly poor in terms of information that is included and how that information is written and it really seems incomplete in a number of sections. Put simply, it is poorly written and it is confusing. Read more

  1. Broke down in 3 weeks!

    2.0/10
    Reviewer: William A. Camp, Amazon

    I had an old VCR that finally broke down on me after 5 years, so I had the misfortune of purchasing this machine at my local K-Mart. It worked perfectly for three weeks, but one night while putting a VHS tape in for my daughter to watch one night it stopped. Come to find out this machine ate the tape, and then shut down. When I hit the power button it just whirred for a few seconds then shuts itself off again. Read more

  2. "Almost total waste of time and money."

    Do not throw money into this worthless product. I'm a retired engineer from a major communications company. I have worked with computers and media both professionally and as a hobby for half a century. My point is that I am fairly savvy with these things. It's the machine, not me. Read more

    • Literally hundreds of wasted hours and dollars giving the thing yet another chance. Four usable DVDs from VHS copies made vs 31 junk/unreadable disks. That's the good ...
    • 88% failure rate dubbing from tape to DVD. Large cost of time and money for no results. Nothing but frustration and a pile of DVDs it won't read once it spits them out...

  3. Just what I was looking for

    The unit is great because it contains everything that I wanted and no extra frills that would only appeal to a heavy duty enthusiast. It was simple to set up, easy to use and does what I want it to. There are more expensive units I could have purchased but the difference was they could hold multiple DVD's. Who cares, I can only watch one at a time. Read more

  5. Poor Quality, awful support

    The VCR part of this unit seems to have a known defect where the screen goes blank during playback (find other reviews where you can see this issue reported by MANY people - one person returned it for warranty repair 3x's and it was STILL not working). Samsung wants you, the customer, to pay a fee to return the product to them for Warranty repair. The VCR unit on mine went out on the second tape I played, I had it less than 30 days. Read more

    • NONE
    • Poor quality, even worse customer support, known issue with unit that Company does not acknowledge

  • Time displayed on screen

    I have a DVD-VR375 unit and after I finalized a DVD (dubbed a wedding VHS tape to DVD)I put the disk in another DVD player and I noticed the time displayed on the screen. How do I remove the time that is displayed? I have looked in the manuel and there is nothing on this situation. There is no steps on the menu as well. There is no diplay button on the remote to use either. The time is not displayed when I try it on the Samsung DVD-VR375. Thank you.
