Samsung DVD-V2000 DVD-VCR Combo

Love it

I bought this unit thinking I would be upgrading my 16-year old (!) VCR, and working my way into DVD with one convenient unit. First disappointment: there is no LP setting on the VCR--something I consider basic, even with my ancient Hitachi unit (which works great, though the sound quality when tapes are played back on other units is bad). Second disappointment: even on the SP setting, the recordings were just horrible--grainy, worse than my old VCR recordings even on the lowest setting quality. I think this is a poor union of products--others have commented on the bad DVD playback. Samsung has work to do. I'm returning this today. The only positive thing--shopping at Amazon is great. They are making it very easy for me to send this back, and I will continue to try to find a good product. But more research is in order--and I'm not sure that any of these 2-in-1 units is up to par in quality.

Works as expected. No instructions but easy enough to figure out

I love the convenience of this unit which automatically switches between VCR, DVD and TV merely by inserting the tape, or disc! When the DVD is ejected, the unit switches back to TV, assuming that the TV is turned on. Other reviews I read before deciding to buy this unit implied that switching was difficult but we have not found it to be so. Nor did we find it to be noisy. I did however ask for and did receive professional advice on how to hook this unit up to a Sony Triniton 24" TV (KV-20FV300). The advice recommended heavy duty interconnection cables ("Monster Cable" brand M Series cables(M500V Advance Interconnect Video Cables and "Monster Cable" brand Interlink 300 MKII Audio cables) and how how to hook them up in my specific application. The result was very pleasing. I am still wrestling with getting both units to operate from the same remote (DVD/VCR). I have experimented with single remote use but so far could only get the TV to turn on but not the DVD/VCR when programmed as directed on page 12 of the DVD/VCR manual. I expect to be successful, however, but even if I am not, the pleasure of the ease of tape / disc / TV use and good quality of this unit makes the use of two remotes a relatively minor annoyance.

This product has not performed the way it should. I am still trying to locate and install the missing cables, and the remote control that I had to buy is not working correctly. The vendor that supplied this item is not very good at all.

Refubished. Worked for one Christmas season, then quit a year later in December of 2025.

i am bringing back samsung vcr dvr player were i cannot watch my dvds were does not work with dvds on the samsung vcr dvr player

Unfortunately I did not connect the unit until months after I purchased. I was moving and replacing what I was taking and my move was delayed. That said, there was no remote and no clear indication there was no remote. In fact it stated that batteries were required. Why if there was not remote? The DVD door hatch is also broken. Not noticeable until the unit was put to use. It's garbage and seriously something that cannot be used. Very disappointing.
