Amazon.com Product Description
The MRV700R from Magnavox combines a full-featured DVD player with the quality and convenience of both DVD+R/+RW and VHS (NTSC, PAL, SECAM) recording and playback. Great for small-scale entertainment systems and back-room or bedroom service, the MRV700R lets you archive your home movies and edit favorite scenes to share with loved ones: use recordable DVD+R and rerecordable DVD+RW media for compiling home-video highlights or for storing TV programs, then mail them to loved ones. You can also time-shift your TV viewing, using the unit's programmable timer to schedule programs to record on either VHS tape or DVD, depending on your priorities. The MRV700R stores up to 6 hours of audio and video on a single-sided recordable DVD at varying quality levels, from sub-VHS quality to VHS/S-VHS quality, DVD quality, and full DV quality. Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the MRV700R stands ready to deliver the full potential of your DVDs during playback. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. The MRV700R also performs 3:2 pulldown detection. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24-frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; reverse 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture. The unit's front panel sports a set of inputs for your temporary or spontaneous A/V connections. A set of left/right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's coaxial digital-audio output for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver.
Product Description
This Magnavox MRV700VR DVD and Video Cassette Recorder records both DVD+RW/DVD+R and videotapes, but also plays prerecorded videotapes, DVDs and other Disc types. You can record TV programs, edit camcorder recordings, and quickly access your DVD recordings in the Index Picture Screen. You'll soon appreciate the digital picture and sound quality of DVD, DVD+RW, and DVD+R, which will exceed the quality you have had with videotapes.

 Fan is Loud March 19, 2008
Vid King (Troy, Michigan)
I'm astonished at how loud the fan noise is in our model. It emits a high pitched wining sound. It's tolerable during the day but at night I find myself turning off the power strip. Operating the DVD wasn't too bad after reading the manual. It took some patience since the manual or menu features aren't entirely user friendly. Another annoying quirk is when we turn on the unit to use the VCR, the VCR will come on and then immediately switch over to the DVD. We have to hit the VCR button to put it back in VCR mode. We've had this model for a few years and decided to keep it since we got it for a terrific sale price.
Died Within 6 Months! November 29, 2006
Nobody's Business
I used ours to record occasional shows and play DVDs. All told, we probably used it about 4-5 times a week -- very little for a DVD/VCR. Once we installed it, we never moved the thing, so it was virtually undisturbed. Yet the VCR playback heads went kaput after only 6 months of use.

 This Machine Works For Me :D July 8, 2006

Hi! I am reading these reviews and laughing at how frustrated everyone is. READ the manual, yes. PUSH a button, yes. This deck has been a god-sent for me as I am transferring all of my undergraduate work to digital media. The extra fun features are neat if you're a couch potato. Initial setup was nothing at all, Pro Scan automatically scanned every catv channel and pretty much did everything on its own. If you KNOW what you WANT, the challenges of learning new electronics give great benefits. :-)

Not Great April 18, 2006

an irritating constant humming noise when unit is off
clock always fast
takes too long to start up, miss out on first minutes of recording a show "on demand"
sometimes dvd menu freezes up so i either have to unplug unit
or wait until the off button eventually kicks in and the unit shuts off and start all over.
however, the playing/rewinding modes for dvds and vhs are good

This is the SECOND time I'm packing this thing back up to return in the last 30 days. When we initally bought this, we came home & after about 2 hours of trying to figure out the hookup and installation, I contacted Magnaxox only to find out I had a "defective" player. The VHS wasn't working (I could hear sound, but picture was only black & white wavy lines) and the DVD would not play at all (No disc message). It also made a very loud noise when a DVD was inserted. SO... we drive back down to the store we purchased it, which is 45 minutes away (we live in a rural area), and exchanged it for another one. I get home, hook it up (quicker this time), try a VHS tape. It was working, so I was optimistic...tried the DVD player... YES, it works. I was very relieved and put away the box and paperwork, feeling very happy that it was just a defective player the first time. Well.... that feeling was pretty short lived. Three weeks after use, I went to put a DVD in & started getting the message "No Disc". Uh-oh... I tried several others, just in case it was the DVD. Nope-same message. I put a VHS tape in to see if that was working alright. It began playing but within 3-4 minutes, it stopped. When I tried to eject the tape, it would not eject. When I tried to open the DVD player to remove the DVD, it would not open. Oh joy.. I unplugged it, and was going to try again, but at that point the player would not even turn on. At all. So... I unplugged it for the evening with intentions of returning it immediately. My husband plugged it in the next day and it came on & he was able to remove our movies (thankfully). The DVD is still not working, the VHS works but now there is this mysterious "snow" on the television whenever we turn this on. Hmmmm..... I believe this player is a dud. I am returning it this weekend and am buying another brand. This DVD/VCR Recorder combo has created a good deal of stress for me and probably raised my blood pressure as well:) Seriously though, I would not recommend this one. I would give it zero stars, if that were an option :)
