Trouble with VCR
Philips DVP3150V HiFi DVD/VCR Combo(Philips DVP3150V HiFi DVD/VCR Combo, Purchased on 11/09/2008)was supposedly refurbished but the VCR section was defective. I returned it to the DiscountJungle/Amazon.com vendor but still haven't received a replacement.

Mediocre quality, low price
Pluses: Low price, combo DVD/VCR.
Minuses: poor screen quality, quirks.
We use it for time-shifting news programs, which doesn't require great clarity, and for very occasional DVD watching. We learned how to do this, which it does well enough, and the price (about $55, shipping and all) was right.
It records only the top half of the screen in color; the bottom half fades into black and white. It may be because we bought a refurbished model.
It can only be programmed for 8 recordings at a time. It may be skimpy if you have a lot to record, but for most people it's fine.
The DVD player seems to work fine. We haven't really used it.
The remote is the usual: 100 similar-looking buttons that change what they do ... Read More
Love It, Love It!!
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 Combo
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 quality
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 ... Read More
