Requires TV remote to change Line Input to be able to use December 10, 2007

Only problem is that I have to use my TV's remote to change the Line Input to 2 to be able to use the DVD/VHS. Have a satelitte dish and it uses Channel 3. Called Samson'sCustomer Service and they didn't have a great explanation as to why this player worked this way. The technician was polite and English was her first language which was a nice to treat to be able to totally understand her.Also the remote for the DVD wouldn't program my TV so I could use just the DVD remote to change the line input. Technician checked to see if other codes were available but only had the one I was using (Emerson TV). I have 2 other samsong combination units and they don't require the line input change. Perhaps it is because this is a tunerless unit?? Thank goodness I could find the TV's remote or I would not be able to use this unit. If I'd known about this quirk I would not have purchased the unit. It does have a good picture and playing DVDs and tapes are okay. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a new player so quess I will deal with the line input problem
Whoops! It won't record DVDs! December 2, 2007

I bought this because I thought it would help convert my VHS tapes to DVD. I doesn't! It only records on VHS, it won't write DVDs. Don't make the same mistake. I'm sure it's a good unit, but it may not do what you are looking for.
 Research carefully and thoroughly November 30, 2007

This is not a product for everyone. A couple things to keep in mind:
=If your television has a tuner and you *don't* plan to record one show while watching another, this may be for you.
=If you remember that with connections, digital is digital (optical, HDMI) and that you will need separate connections for your VHS output, this may be for you.
=If you can use logic in connecting items (optical output is for digital sound only), then this may be for you.
This system is not designed for coaxial input. There are full instructions included with the device, and also at the website, for specific questions you may have.
Technology is migrating to HDMI, et al, the way it once did from 300 ohm to 75 ohm connections. If you want to see things more clearly, improve your technology. It does come at the price of change, and some find that price too steep.
Convert your "legacy" VHS tapes of family events, etc., to DVD or digital format now. You will find it much easier later to manage and play this material back.
The Samsung V9700 is very easy to set up. If you do not presently have the proper connections on your TV set, it might be time to upgrade the TV. And if you can't connect your high quality digital output to your VCR and dummy it down, there may be a reason for that...do you play your 78 RPM record on your audiophile Bang and Olufsen, or do you crank up your Victrola?
In all seriousness, I unboxed the system, took my old DVD player and VCR out of the shelf unit, connected the inputs, tested with a home-made DVD and a commercial video. Life is great!
Now, off to buy 1080p TV to *really* enjoy the V9700!
 VCR did not work at all November 11, 2007

We bought one of these. Could not get the unit to read a VHS tape. Tried another VHS tape still would not read tape. VHS unit did not turn tape at all either for any function (REW, PLAY, FF etc).
Took it back to vendor (not Amazon) and got another unit. Had the exact same problems with new unit. We ended of buying a third unit with same results.
What a disaster and waste of time!
