DVR5000.......2005-08-17

I have had two of these combo DVD/VCR machines. Both went bad in less than a year. Very few machines are worth fixing as opposed to buying a new one today. This machine certainly isn't worth fixing or buying.

It's the worse combo device I've ever owned.

VCR going bad after a year or so.......2004-05-13

My GoVideo DVR5000 DVD/VCR combo worked well for quite a while, but now the VCR half is starting to go bad. I'm not sure how long I've had it - at least a year, maybe closer to two. Recently, when I play back videos recorded with this unit, the tint is frequently (but not always) off for the top third of the screen. At first I thought I was imagining it, but then I started noticing backgrounds that should be a solid color changed color towards the top of the screen. For example, I was watching an interview that was conducted against an all-blue background, but towards the top of the picture the background turned more and more green. Things that should be red near the top of the screen are usually purple.

After a lot of playing around with various tapes, and then playing around with the connections in the back of the player, I think I've narrowed the problem down to the composite video output jack. When I switched from using that to using the coaxial video output, the problem went away. But that's not really a solution, so I bought a new player and moved the Go Video to another room where the TV uses coaxial.

Oddly, the composite video problem only seemed to affect the VCR half of the unit, and not the DVD half.

I haven't had many problems with the DVD half of the unit. It will occasionally freeze up, or refuse to read a DVD when I first put it in the player, but after a few tries it eventually reads them.

I'm really bummed that the VCR is going bad, because other than that problem I really like this unit. I've been reading reviews to decide what to get as a replacement, and it doesn't seem like anyone makes a reliable DVD/VCR combination anymore.

Built to last a very long time - needed a fan installed........2003-07-20

I work on DVD players.. actually I diagnose the problem, inform the owner and then dispose of them. Virtually every DVD player under $1000 has a disposable brush type spindle motor which will often fail after about 1500-2000 hours disk spin time. These motors are not replaceable. The machines are designed to last typically 2-3 years before replacement.

The DVR5000 has a digital brushless spindle motor. A motor not found in DVD players unless you purchase a Pioneer DVD-V7400 $1400 Industrial rack mount machine. What gives the DVD-V7400 reliability is the brushless motor... the near identical motor found in the DVR5000.

The DVD spindle mechanism...the most critical part of any DVD player... contained within the DVR5000 will probably outlast the DVD format altogether. Meanwhile, you will go through 4-6 Toshiba or Pioneer machines in the same timespan.

Unfortunately, the DVR5000 has too much stuff crammed into too small of a space. The power supply is almost three times the size of a standard DVD player.. and likewise generates 3 times as much heat. The VHS deck takes it share of power as does the high torque DVD brushless motor.

Go-Video made a mistake of not allowing sufficient ventilation of the chassis AND the inclusion of a forced air cooling system (a fan). They also placed the DVD decoder board directly above the power supply. When things heat up, electrical alignments of the decoder board drift, laser output diminishes and then the DVD stutters.

I installed a cooling fan tapped off of the power supply. The fan turns on automatically when the unit is on.

Since the fan installation, all skipping problems have gone away. The machine runs cool inside, the laser now tracks properly. FYI, DVD lasers are very senstive to heat; their output drops significantly with rise in temperature.

It is very unfortunate that this overheating issue was overlooked by the engineers. Otherwise this could have been a flawless and easily the most successful and reliable machines on the market.

I give the machine a 5 rating despite the temperature problem due to the exceptional quality and longevity incorporated into the DVD mechanism. Truely independent thought from an independent company from the disposable thought of this day and age.

The DVR5000 WAS NOT designed to have a 2 year lifespan like the "quality name brand" consumer grade equipment. Looking at the componentry and exceptional construction of the DVR5000 machine, it was designed to have a trouble free 10 year lifespan.

Don't buy anywhere!!.......2002-11-27

This is the worst product I have ever bought. The DVD player did not work since day one it keeps on freezing up. So I took it to get repaired since it was under warranty. That did not help matters. I took it to be repaired twice. They kept it for months at a time and when I did get it back I had more problems then when I started with. Call customer service? What a joke their idea of customer service is hysterical. The number that they give you to call you can't get through. I waited on the phone forever and still never got through. I e-mailed them at least 100 times. Their response was,"If I had any other problems to go to their website." To do what? I still don't know. My advice is to stick with the major name brands. GoVideo is generic and they don't know what the hell they are doing. The only reason I gave 1-star was because the VCR works.

No problems...so far.......2001-11-22

I got this little baby as gift from my in-laws so who am I to complain. Nonetheless, we've used it about 20-30 times and so far it's never failed.

It does all i wanted it to do. I love it. Easy to handle and fun. We love to 'review' the pictures everytime we take them! it's so funn to see the kids in action!

Great Deal.......2001-07-24

This camera has a dial for different types of shots, which makes it simple. It also has fun special features like black and white. It doesn't have a light, but I was suprised how well low light footage comes out. For those who aren't ready to go high tech. or don't want to spend a lot of money, it's a great buy.

Garbage that stinks.......2007-09-20

I purchased 3 of these phones. Of the 3, 2 do not work.

One worked for 6-months and then displayed "Not registered" and was rendered useless.

The other upon installing had all keys activating the speaker phone functionality. It would not make calls nor could it be tunred off. I had to unplug it.

AT&T would not make good on the unworkable phones.

Good Value.......2007-09-04

This phone does what it was intended to do and does not interfere with my wireless network like so many other phone have.

So far so good.......2007-09-03

We recently started using this phone but it seems great so far. No static and the caller id is large and well lit.

Not for me.......2007-09-02

Mine had problems early and stopped working altogether within a month. It also got quite hot, even tho it was in a wide open location. Whaddya want for $25? A little more, says I.

AT&T Cordless Telephone .......2007-08-23

I have had nothing but problems out of this new phone I bought from you. Every time I try and call someone on it, it will make a loud click and after the number is dialed, a voice comes on saying I either have to dial a "1" before the number or I can't dial this number in this manner. And I am calling local. There is something definitely wrong with this phone. And since my 30 days are up, I can't send it back or exchange it. I don't think I will ever order another phone from you people.

A gift for my 10-year old birdwatching granddaughter. She was delighted. I would have preferred a lower magnification; 12x is too much for extended viewing, and 6x or 8x more generally usable. The pair was well made, very good value.
