Looking for a DVD/VCR combo unit...help
I'm looking for a decent DVD/VCR combo unit for my parents for XMAS. Any good deals or recommendations? I need something that MUST play DVD+R. The rest of just extra after that....
Looking to spend around $100 or so.
Thanks.

I'd buy a $50 DVD player and a $50 vcr. Avoid the combo. The Cyberhome 300 is a great and very small DVD player, which you can find for $30-40, handles DVD+R. (You're not makburning illegal copies for the 'rents, are ya?) You can get a fine vcr for around $50 too, any name brand like Sony, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, etc....

Yes, I know this....I really hate combo units, but it's what my PARENTS want...so I want to make them happy. It's good for space I guess too.

To answer your question, DJ, I've heard good things about the Samsung DVDV4600 and the Toshiba SD-V392. Both are $119. Circuit City has a Panasonic unit on sale right now for $119 that looks pretty nice as well. All will play burned discs.
