With the DV6T955B DVD/VCR combo from Daewoo, you can enjoy high-quality digital video without having to say goodbye to your videotape library. This versatile component combines a progressive-scan DVD player with a 4-head, hi-fi stereo VCR, and includes a number of audio features as well.

The progressive-scan technology on the DVD player yields amazing picture quality, with vivid colors, clean resolution, and reduced onscreen distortion. The DV6T955B features a 10-bit/27 MHz video digital-to-analog converter that adds realistic warmth to the picture. The adjustable aspect ratio mode lets you resize the video image to the optimal setting: either a 16:9 widescreen or a 4:3 standard ratio. With the zoom feature, you can enlarge or reduce onscreen images. The DV6T955B provides a number of search modes for DVDs. In addition to basic fast forward and reverse options, you can scan through a DVD by individual chapters or by playing time.

In addition to watching movies on the DV6T955B, you can use it as an audio component. The DV6T955B offers a wide variety of playback options, including DVDs, CDs, VCDs, MP3s, and more. Your movies and music will sound great, thanks to the clear, clean sound of Daewoo's 24-bit/96 kHz audio digital-to-analog converter. This converter translates digital audio data into a natural, realistic high-fidelity sound. The DV6T955B features a Dolby Digital and DTS surround-sound system, and includes a coaxial digital audio output that allows you to easily connect the player to a home theater receiver. The DV6T955B also features 3D sound, an audio mode that creates virtual surround sound with just two speakers.

The DV6T955B's VCR is filled with features as well. The 6-head VCR can capture and reproduce a clear picture with stereo sound. Recording shows is simple with a one-touch recording option, as well as a timer mode that lets you program up to 8 shows in advance. You can also watch DVDs while you are recording a program with the VCR.

The DV6T955B features a number of A/V outputs, including component, composite, and S-video connections. An analog audio output is also included on the DV6T955B.

2 out of 5 stars It's still "working" after 2 years but..........2006-10-29

I bought this 2 years ago as I needed a replacement for my 10 year old Mitsubishi VCR that decided it was no longer going to work. I had the money and since the VCR/DVD combo was only 100 dollars I thought the idea of a combo would be neat. I really didnt need a dvd player as my PS2 as well as my computer did DVD's. I could also just hook my computer up to the VCR using the S-video plug on the back of the Video card but thats all beside the point. Anyway, I bought this because I needed something new and since it was cheap I thought it was a good deal. I was wrong. It lasted me for about 2 years without a problem. If you can believe it when one thing acts up another has to act up with it. What I mean is the first problem I noticed is how when I would eject tapes it wouldnt eject properly. It would still slightly hold on to the tape reel and if you didn't notice and pulled it out without caution the tape would get damaged. Not a huge huge problem because that is fixable. What really bugs me is how the DVD player had to act up as well. Any DVD that I put in my DVD player, at random times while watching, will freeze up and you will see the numbers on the display jump around. After about a min of freezing it will begin playing again 20 seconds ahead of where it last was. The DVD player will continue to this throughout the DVD at random times. It's pretty annoying. Other than that I have yet to notice anything new. The VCR is only a minor problem but the DVD player is a big problem as I do not know how to fix that. I have a feeling the DVD player broke because of how hot that thing got when disks were in there. It would just spin so fast and get so hot even when nothing was playing and the disk was just sitting in there. Well, at least it gave me two years of use and the VCR still records fine which is all I really need it for. The DVD player issue is just annoying. If I were you I would steer clear of anything cheap like this and go for a much more trusted brand such as Panasonic, Mitsubishi, or Sony. They just have a much longer lifespan and are a much better investment.

2 out of 5 stars Big disappointment.......2005-12-12

I got this unit at Target after my old DVD player conked out. I was just looking for a replacement DVD player, and then this unit caught my eye. My VCR was also getting old, and I thought it would be a good idea to replace both in one shot. After all, it would be cheaper than getting seperate units, and there would be way less wiring involved, one less remote, etc.

Well, the VCR worked great, and I was pleasantly surprised at the sound quality (I have a pretty good sound system). However, the DVD section had a distinct high pitched whining noise that came through my speakers, like a motor running, which was noticeable even at moderate volume levels when playing DVD's. No good! I picked up a good DVD player and set the Daewoo aside. I never got around to returning it, and ended up giving it to a friend who needed a VCR and only played DVD's through her TV set's small speakers. Everybody is happy now, right? Wrong! One week later, DVD's started to freeze, at first for a split second, then longer and longer until they are now unwatchable. What a dud this thing is!

1 out of 5 stars Disposable VCR/DVD.......2005-10-07

I purchased this vcr/dvd 6 months ago and the vcr no longer works. Any button I push on the console or the remote activates rewind. There are no service centers in Washington State - although it is sold by Costco. Labor is not covered after 3 months. I certainly would not recommend the product - but even more than that, I would not recommend the company. They do not stand behind their products.

3 out of 5 stars Gonna wanna stay away.......2005-09-29

I had previously sold my old Zenith Allegro VCR for $30 because it was time for an upgrade- the ol' Allegro had mono audio!! So I got this at Target on Clearance for $72. I hooked it up to component video (which I recommend for any television that will accept the red, green, and blue rca cables for video; best picture possible!) and the DVD looked pretty good, not as good as my Panasonic DVD player bought in fall 2001 which is still running perfectly! But as I was watching Season One of Scrubs, I rewind it quite frequently because Dr. Cox and the Janitor are freakin hilarious, the DVD starts freezing and then going to a spot a minute later, freezing, then going to a spot a minute later, etc. Not cool, breeze. I also noticed the audio is a 1/4 to 1/2 second late when playing DVD, also not cool. VCR works phenomenally, recorded my favorite shows without a problem. Easy menu and timer program setup with a bright colorful picture. The remote gets a little tricky in the dark while watching a movie- small buttons. If it was just a VCR which I was looking for first priority, I'd go ahead and praise this Daewoo puppy with the big 5 stars. But the DVD portion just wasn't up to my Panasonic expectations. It went back to Target and now i have a Panasonic V4523S VCR which impresses me yet again. I love you guys, Panasonic.

2 out of 5 stars Over Priced VCR........2005-09-17

I bought this back in FEB (7 months ago) and liked it since it was a spacesaver/combo. I mostly used it for the DVD player since I have been burning my own, but do believe that it is a good VCR also. It has worked great until recently when it started having a problem reading the DVDs. It starts reading a DVD normally but within a minute starts to hesitate and after about another minute 'jumps' to a new area a minute or so further into the DVD. I can rewind back to almost the point where it jumped, to see what was missed but this happens somewhat frequently and is not a solution. I cleaned the DVD player but this didn't change anything. I haven't had much cooperation from Daewoo support either... even though I only had 3 months labor on the combo there is a 1 year warrentee on parts, and after speaking to someone about this I understand that Daewoo will replace the unit if they can't fix it. Only problem is I have been unable to speak with a tech except for the 1st call - I've called back 3 times to the support center and they say someone will call me within 48 hours... but don't. Good luck.

              2 out of 5 stars Unreliable and poor customer service.......2005-09-21

              As others have pointed out, this is not a very reliable drive. It worked most of the time with my Windows machine but never with my Mac. Worst of all, I need a replacement power cord and the best Maxtor could do to help me was to say, "We do not have this item. See if you can find one on the internet."

              1 out of 5 stars Unreliable and error-prone.......2002-12-03

              I had hoped this drive would provide cheap backup for a variety of files without the time and annoyance of cutting CDs or using other removable media.

              It has instead proven to be unreliable and unstable. I've lost data, had it freeze up my system, had it cause conflicts with other firewire devices, and had it corrupt files and/or misplace parts of the file structure. The drive has so many problems that I connect it only when absolutely necessary.

              The transfer speed is terrible, so much so that using a "find" utility to locate a file on the drive is unbearably long, always resulting in an error.

              It may seem like a lot of storage for little money, but what is the value if it consistently loses data and crashes your system? Pay a little more and get something more reliable, it will be worth it.

              Does not work properly on win 2K/Pro/Advanced/server ... watch out, will go on and off line for no reason, give buffer overruns, and sometimes refuse to come up at all. Maxtor sez windows problem. Microsoft sez maxtor problem. Switched to XP, and it works GREAT. You decide who lies.
              I have 5 of them now.

              1 out of 5 stars Defective Design and Components.......2002-09-07

              I bought one of these about a year ago and it only worked for about 3 weeks before it started going bad. The hard drive would spin down every few minutes unpredictably. When this happened when I was writing to it I got a lot of data loss of course. As I discovered later the power to the drive was not consistent. I pulled the drive out of the ... enclosure they had it in and put in my PC directly (it came formatted FAT-32) and it worked fine. There were two boards in the enclosure, an firewire to ide bridge board and one for distributing power from the external power supply. It turns out the board for the power supply is defective. I suspect there's a bad capacitor on that board, that's why it fails periodically. Geez these guys couldn't have spent a couple more cents and shipped the thing with more reliable components? ... I ripped out the bridge board and hard drive and have them inside an old scsi enclosure and it seems to work fine.
              What a hassle they inflicted upon me just because they couldn't spend a couple more penniew on a higher grade of capacitor or a better board design.

              1 out of 5 stars Can't Count on It.......2002-09-04

              I gave up trying to rely on this drive. I've had the drive a little over a year so it's out of warranty. I didn't use it often, maybe just about 30 hours of usage. The drive started making a clicking noise and sometimes doesn't spin up and I can't access my data. For two weeks it didn't start then finally on one day, it spun up!

              I left the drive running for a few days with no problems and removed all the data. I scanned the disk for errors and reformatted without any problems. Good... so I shut it off and moved it to another computer and the $*)@&% thing won't spin up again. I give up.

              Maxtor support was really good but basically told me I was out of luck because of the warranty. They don't repair them but will send you out a new drive.

              Some advice... Keep the drive running all the time, if it's a hardware problem, it will fail within it's warranty.

              5 out of 5 stars Perfect............2007-05-30

              A friend of mine had this backpack and I had to get one. I travel a lot and this is perfect for your mini "studio" on the go. Fits your Mbox2 or smaller along with my cables, hard drive, and most importantly my laptop. There's a divider inside that is adjustable for the thickness of your computer. Most importantly, the nylon is super thick and ridged and very well padded inside and out. My favorite feature is the lid. It fits my in-ear monitor case along with all of your accessories like pens, iloks, etc.. This is by far the best mobile pack i've seen that is perfect for carrying on your flights or going to the next gig. Did I mention there are about 8 pockets on the outside of this thing? The only thing missing is the rocket boosters.
