Love It, Love It!!November 12, 2008 I am so glad I ordered this DVD/VCR combo. I still have a lot of movies on VHS so rather than get rid of them, purchase the movies all over again on DVD, I decided to order this wonderful machine. Now I can enjoy all my favorite old movies and my favorite new releases on the same machine. I love it!
Philips DVP3150V HiFi DVD/VCR ComboFebruary 25, 2008 This unit was bought at a great price. It arrived in its original factory carton and everything I needed for a fast hookup was in the box. I have been using it for a month and am completely satisfied. While it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of a more expensive unit, it work just fine for our needs.
I used to think Philips was good qualityNovember 17, 2007 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Based on my personal experience with the Philips DVP 3150V: I bought this for my parents so they could view DVD video sent to them from our family from the East coast. The DVDs that they received were produced on excellent video equipment but did not play on the DVD player despite all of the manual's "Hoorah." I could play the DVDs on my computer so I went out and bought seven different types of DVD+R and DVD-R media. None of them worked. Simple 30 minute DVDs didn't work at all; NONE. I immediately brought them my Daewoo which proceeded to play every DVD and is six years older than the Philips. I won't knock the play of pre-recorded and regular rental DVDs for that it's excellent but if you want to watch DVD videos made by family and friends from all over the globe, some in hostile areas, I'm convinced, this is not the VCR/DVD Player to go with. It's garbage and the mere fact it doesn't play our family/friends movies means that whatever Philips wrote on the box to sell it can't always be believed. The remote, well, I won't even comment about that. This is something that would be great for a classroom but it doesn't belong in a living room during a holiday when it fails to play family made DVD videos. The only reason it gets a "one star" rating is because amazon's system won't let me grade that low. Emotions are what fuel our happiness and right now, I ain't very happy. Skip this one, look at an eight year old Daewoo. Disclaimer: Once again, this is based on my personal experience with the Philips DVP 3150V.
Ghost in the machineNovember 6, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This unit is horrible. It has a mind of it's own. It never would tape a show. (Yes, I had everything set up correctly). It won't play a DVD unless there's also a tape in the machine. When you try to play a VHS tape, it will only play for 15 seconds and then the machine turns itself off. The entire unit just shuts off! Save your money and get something else!!

I purchased this item to use for my Video Editing needs. I ended up using in on my 65' HDTV because my VCR/DVD Recorder started to act like a cheap garage sale VCR/DVD player. I have not experienced any problems with this Philips device as far as playing VCRs or DVD. It was simple to hook up.
