Player plays dvds and VHS tapes even in pretty bad condition and goes through all functions without a hiccup. When using an audio video cables the video signal would not connect while the VHS or dvd was stopped (stand by mode). Not sure if this was because of my cables or the player. Player plays without a problem. Will ship as soon as possible.
