Tech Talk
- Four-head VCR: A VCR requires two video heads to record a picture. With four heads, a VCR can perform special effects like slow motion and freeze frame, and it is optimized for recording and playback in both the SP (2-hour) and SLP (6-hour) modes. You'll also get a better picture from rental videos with a four-head VCR.
- Hi-fi VHS: The standard VHX format with Dolby Surround Pro-Logic encoded in the stereo audio channels, which produces near-CD-quality sound. You'll need an A/V receiver with Dolby Surround Pro-Logic decoding to take full advantage of this feature.
- VCD: Video CD (VCD) is a video standard that can store audio and video to a compact disc (rather than a DVD disc) using MPEG-1 compression. You can fit up to 74 minutes of video with audio onto a VCD-formatted CD, but you can expect the video quality to be similar to that of a VHS videotape.

Disappointing - Many DVD's skip or freeze
|
We bought ours a couple of years ago when it was the only affordable DVD-VHS combo at our local electronics store. Almost immediately we noticed that some DVDs would have trouble playing. Having nothing else to play them on, we assumed that it was the disks. We even took some DVD's back to the store and exchanged them as damaged. Since then we've found that disks that wouldn't play on the Samsung will play other people's machines without any trouble. Running a head cleaner doesn't make any difference. We're looking for something new, now, and trying not to make the same mistake.
When it works, which is most of the time, it's great. But when it DOES act up, it really ruins the evening. |
