Summary: Go Video Is a GO
Review: GoVideo is making a name for itself. My friend has this combo DVD/VCR unit and it works pretty well from what I saw. The DVD side looked good and functioned well. You get the standard DVD options that you get on most units. The VCR records and plays back in HiFi. Most pre-recorded tapes looked good. Recorded pictures on this unit looked good too. The picture looked good for VHS. VHS is VHS, what else can you say. It has A/V inputs and is programmable with on-screen features. You really can't go wrong at this price. It is very affordable and a nice compact unit.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: I own this player
Review: I bought this player about 6 month ago. It worked great at first but now the dvd portion skips and wont play sometimes. the vcr portion has horrible tracking problems and at one point quit working all together. Most of the time it auto tracks constanty and messes up the image. If I had it to do over I would not buy this player.

Summary: No go video
Review: I just recently bought this DVD/VCR player. It was very easy to set up and play, but right from the get-go I noticed that the dvd picture looked a bit stretched(elongated). I'm a huge fan of widescreen dvds and didn't like the look of the picture. The reason I noticed it was that I also have a SONY dvd player and compared the pictures. The bars of the GV player are thinner than the bars of the SONY showing that the picture is indeed elongated. The picture and people just looked more natural with the SONY player, but those without comparison might not notice the difference. It depends on what you are used to.

Also another thing I REALLY, REALLY don't like about the machine is the remote control. The search and skip button are the exact same button!! So if I want to fast forward/scan a little bit I accidentally skip to the next scene instead. It's very frustrating.

And for those that are planning to record DVDs to VHS, don't hold your breath. You can only record DVDs that don't have Macrovision(some type of anti-recording protection) and most original DVDs will have it. I've also tried a CD-R and it didn't recognize it even though GV says it will play CD-Rs.

I have no complaints about the VCR. It works great.

Basically, you get what you pay for. This is a low price machine and you can't expect it to be exceptional. If you just want to watch a movie and don't care about the look or anything else and want to save space, go ahead and buy it. Otherwise, I would recommend just buying separate players.

p.s. I am not endorsing the SONY player. DO NOT buy SONY DVD players. They have different sets of problems all their own plus a court case against them. Check the web for those reviews
if you don't believe me. Just don't do it.

Summary: Bang for the buck!
Review: I know it's not the best DVD player on the market but for this price range, you can't go wrong with this unit. I've owned 3 DVD players now (under $$$ and this one has been my favorite. It's simple to hook-up, sounds great with a good A/V receiver, and is very simple to use. Are there better DVD/VHS players out there? Of couse! But in the under $$$ range, this one reigns supreme. The only reason I didn't go with 5 stars is that I feel the instructions are very sparse and a novice may get confused figuring out how to best hook the unit up for best performance. With that said, this unit is as advertised and well worth the price.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: it is "ok" for the price
Review: i loved the way this unit looked and perceivable quality of it as well. it is also very easy to use. good instructions manual, remote, and very clear display. i liked this unit very much. but, i returned it for these reasons: dvd player does not produce as great of a sound and picture as other dvd players do in the under [$$$] range. also, the onscreen menu has very small font. it is very difficult to distinguish letters sitting about 10 feet away from tv.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: VERY POOR SOUND
Review: I PURCHASED THIS UNIT AND HAVE EMAILED THE MANUFACTURER TWICE (WITH NO REPLY) COMPLAINING ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE SOUND VOLUME ON DVD PLAYBACK IS ALMOST INAUDIBLE!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: REVIEW DV2130 PRODUCT CAPABILITY
Review: I WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH GOVIDEO AND I TOOK A CHANCE IN PURCHASING
A DVD/VHS PLAYER DV2130. MY FIRST DISATISFACTION WAS UPON OPENING THE BOX AND SEEING THE PAPER THAT SAYS DO NOT RETURN TO THE PLACE OF PURCHASE BUT CALL OR EMAIL GOVIDEO. BUT I WAS CONFIDENT THAT ALL WOULD BE WELL. I HAVE PLAYED ONLY TWO VHS TAPES IN MY NEW PLAYER WHICH I PURCHASED ONLY 4 DAYS AGO AND THE THING COULD HAVE BURNED MY HOUSE DOWN FROM THE EXTREME HEAT IT PRODUCED. I HAVE EMAILED BECAUSE THE SUPPORT LINES ARE CLOSED ON WEEKENDS. I WILL RAISE EXTREME PROBLEMS IF MY MACHINE IS NOT REPLACED. I WILL LET YOU KNOW MY RESULTS. FROM THE OTHER REVIEWS I SAY "DON'T" GOVIDEO. GO TO NAME YOU KNOW AND TRUST. AND A STORE THAT WILL TAKE THE PRODUCT BACK.
