VHS RECORDER AND DVD PLAYER (Renewed)

UPDATE- Full Five stars I'm keeping my comments below as I believe the comments are still accurate. However, it turns out that most of my problems most likely have come from the degraded tapes. Despite the intermittent error, everything is functioning properly and I am able to transfer my tapes to Digital which was the sole purpose of buying the equipment It is important to mention that the 2 extra stars were added because of the incredible customer service provided by David at Western Central. He was very thorough and responded immediately. I would 100% purchase from Western Central and I would highly recommend buying from this vendor. Knowing older technology would have inherent problem, the customer service provided is big. I have no doubt that Western Central would have allowed me to return the item and sent me a new one if this one did indeed have problems Old Post I feel it's important give an honest review on this product. I received this product Friday (2 days ago) and everything was well packaged and all items included as expected. Unfortunately upon power up, the unit immediately returned an error C003 which indicates a mechanical failure, often related to the loading motor, tape transport mechanism, or tape tension. This also happens intermittently as I put in the VHS tape. Without going into troubleshooting details, the unit eventually started playing and functioned as it should. The problem is that it seems that there is some intermittent problem with the VHS mechanism. I have not tested the dvd which I most likely will not be using. I believe the seller has refurbished this product, tested the product and took great care in packaging. I also believe this product was sold in good faith. Along with this product is documentation giving the buyer contact information in the case that product is defective or breaks. The reason I am giving 3 stars is because the product is slightly defective. I would not hold this against the refurbisher. The problem with ordering something like this, is that the technology is so old that even with a full refurbishment, there is a high probability something might be wrong with the unit. Of course, I will be reaching out this coming week to see what can be done. Depending on the service, I will be updating this review.

The unit shipped with an mini AV to HDTV converter. Tried on two TVs and would not work. I purchased a RASFOX AV to HDNI converter and the VHS/DVD player worked on both TVs. The RASFOX is sold on AMAZON and is good quality and works.

Worked initially. Didn't use it for 8 months now nothing works. Turn it on it turns off by itself. When on, the CD drawer won't open. When on, the vcr will only play audio no video.

So far so good! So excited to gift this to my Mom for Mother’s Day so we can watch our old home videos. Thank you so much

I was impressed that the unit was securely packed. However, there was damage to side rear corner. This damage is shown on included photo. This may have been caused due to the remote being wrapped too tightly to the unit, and the damage was under the remote. Otherwise, everything looked brand new. In about thirty minutes I was viewing my DVD's and VHS movies. Very happy with the purchase and impressed that service is available by phone. I have access to the user manual and a 90 day warranty. The damaged corner is not visible from the location, so all is well.

The item was like new and came with all the necessary equipment rca cable hdmi cable and remote. It worked great. The only negitive is that the device did not have and hdmi port as advertised. It did not impact anything because it works just fine with the rca cable they did include a hd video converter

This player came in perfect condition. Easy to use.

The item was advertised as "excellent condition". It arrived on time and "looked great". Instructions, remote and other items needed to connect to the television were included. The VHS/VCR side worked well. The DVD side kept showing and error message. I contacted the seller and received a timely response. Based upon the error message the DVD lens were probably dirty and needed to be cleaned. The suggested solution was for me to purchase a lazer lens cleaner. If this item is described as "condition excellent" I expect all components be in working order. I shouldn't have to purchase a lens cleaner at the beginning. I purchased a DVD lens cleaner(because I really wanted this to work), but, It did not work. So I packed it up and returned it.

Refurbished, works great.

Es Recomendable que Ustedes compren de Esa Marca Toshiba y Viene con Su Adaptador HDMI para Televisiones de Alta Definición Modernas y puede ser Compatibles para Las Smart TV yo la Verdad sentí Emocionado de volver a Ver Películas de VHS hace más de 20 Años en Televisión Moderna se miraban como imagen de Cine. Recomiendo que compren por Amazon aunque el Precio esté Elevado y Tiene con Garantía
