    Good Points: Convenient combo unit - tape and DVD - good image quality from both tape and VCR for playback and recording.


    Bad Points: MAJOR PROBLEM - overheating. The unit may not be able to read discs unless the unit is unplugged for an hour or more.


    General comments: JVC DRMV1 - The only problem with this unit is this overheating issue which can seriously interrupt your use of the unit.

Because of this problem, I am truly very disappointed in JVC and its apparent lack of product testing and/or quality control.
