There is a special mode that lightens and darkens the picture slightly, but overall it's pretty useless. Because I watch DVD's most of the time, I just leave my TV on Aux and flip through the channels in VCR mode. The DVD picture quality is really sharp and clean when I'm using the audio/video connection, but degrades SLIGHTLY if you change to tuner mode.
#Magnavox dvd player and recorder movie
I'm hearing things on the movie that I've NEVER heard before with my old DVD player! The sound is INCREDIBLE! My TV is an old twenty-six inch Magnavox CRT, and the audio that's coming from the speakers is nothing short of amazing! Using the "Virtual Surround" mode, you really can simulate having a multi-speaker sound system from just two TV speakers. Oddly enough, the thing that really rocked my socks was the fact that it had an EJECT button that worked the VCR and the DVD player! Laziness rocks! I am a bit disappointed that it's not a universal remote, though.Īs I'm writing this review, I'm watching one of my favorite anime movies, "Neon Genesis Evangelon: The End of Evangelion" on DVD. For those new to DVD/VCR Combo systems, all the buttons may seem a little overwhelming, but after a little practice, you'll get the hang of it. The front panel has no display, only a few LCD lights on the front showing what mode the device is currently on.The remote is pretty decently sized, roughly seven inches long by two and a half inches long. The case, a light charcoal grey, is about seventeen inches wide and 4 inches thick.

It can be changed to 4, but you have to follow a few steps in the manual to do it. One small note there's no channel selector switch on the back. Red to red, yellow to yellow, white to white, screw in the RF cable, plug into the power strip, and you're done. Setting it up was pretty easy-standard Audio/Video and RF cable connectors around the back plus an audio/video connector in the front. (Please note, if you're going to invest in this DVD from Wal-Mart, make sure you're getting the DVD/VCR model MWD2206, the cousin mode l, the,, has an IDENTICAL box.) All of the newer DVD players (including the cousin of this player, the ) didn't come with tuners, and the ones that did were WAY over my puny budget of $70, so finding this rare gem in Wal-Mart was great. The first thing that took me by surprise was the fact that it was one of the only remaining VCR's that had a TV tuner on it still within my budget! After taxes, it came up to $59.89. So when my old DVD/VCR player, which was a hand-me-down from my sister, finally gave out, needless to say I had to get it replaced fast and cheap! The MWD2206 satisfied both of those qualifications, and then some.
