Product Description
If you're like most of us, you've got quite a collection of movies - the Hollywood variety, your kids' G-rated movie collection, not to mention all your home movies - and they're all on VHS. While DVD is really exciting and makes movies sound and look much better, who wants all those movies you've collected over the years to become obsolete?Now you can have your cake and eat it, too - all in one space in your entertainment center. Because the Go-Video DVR4000 plays both DVDs and VHS tapes in one integrated system!You still need some way to tape your TV shows, right? So the DVR4000 comes with a top-of-the line VCR built right in, capable of being "programmed" to record 16 events (twice as many as others) up to a year in advance. And you can watch a DVD (or listen to a music CD!) while the VCR records.The DVD player contains features found only on very expensive DVD models, like component connections, playback of 96KHz/24-Bit audio CDs, zoom, playback of DTS-encoded DVDs, audio during 2x scan, 10-Bit Video Digital to Analog Converter and 27MHz Advanced Digital Filter.And the VCR is a top-of-the-line, 4 head, Hi-Fi, MTS Stereo VCR with many features not found on any other VCR - such as Complete Program Record (CPR) which senses the end of your tape and switches to slow play to make sure you don't miss the end of a recorded TV show. As well as child lock which disables the buttons on the front of the unit completely (then you hide remote), glow in the dark remote control buttons, index search, blank search, date time stamp, tape remaining counter and auto clock set for easy set-up. And yes, unlike other brands, it will record DVD to VHS - but only if your DVD is not copyright- protected with Macrovision.

 Customer Support?.........What's That? January 19, 2006

I have had my unit for 3 years and have had similar problems as noted on some of the other reviews, freezing, can't read data, etc......finally had enough, could not find a service center closer than 100 miles so I sent it to the company in Scottsdale AZ for repair.....they did not even open box and read my letter, just resent it to me unopened!!! What a bunch of Jerks! Maybe they will "get it" after I e-mail a photo to them of me smashing it up with a sledge hammer in my back yard!!

I purchased this 3yrs ago. It hasnt worked properely since I bought it. It refuses to play any dvds without skipping freezing or not even "seeing" the data. Its a very bad purchase. There are many other items out there that not only work but they also have a more cooperative customers service department that are willing to help you to make sure that you are completely satisfied with spending your hard earned money.
 Had for over a YEAR works great even after move to Italy!!! May 7, 2004

I bought this one almost a year and a half ago in maine. I was thrilled to get a machine that didn't take up much space and is a cinch to connect. I am a military wife and we moved to Italy. We now connect it through a transformer due to the electricity and a satalite box. I am able to connect my surround sound speakers to it with ease. Very simple hookup I have not had any problems. I love this machine! Thank you GO VIDEO!

I was really excited to finally get a DVD player. But I'd only had it about a month when it started to skip scenes and freeze periodically. It wouldn't even play some DVDs that I found played perfectly on my cousin's player. While playing one DVD, it froze every few seconds. This is a horrible player, and it's obviously cheap for a reason.
 Liked it at first, bought 2nd one...... now both are dead! May 7, 2003

I am really disappointed in this product. As the title says, I bought one and loved it. Bought a second one for living room and was happy. After about 6 mos, (of course post warranty) mine started showing all DVDs very dark and then light. You couldn't watch a DVD. VCR worked ok. Then the second one started with the same problem. I was VERY upset about this and had no recourse. So I am writing this note hoping it will stop someone else from buying one and experiencing the same problems. As I said, at the get-go the unit was terrific. I expect a DVD to last longer than these did. They were both used by adults and probably used for a max of 2-3 DVDs a week.
Did I replace mine? You bet. I bought a JVC and am happy with it. Just have to keep reading the manual to see how it all works.
Skip Go Video..... save yourself a headache in the long run!
