This hybrid DVD-VCR from Toshiba will serve a unique purpose for years to come; that is backwards compatability. How many times have you found yourself with a piece of media, ie 8tracks, cassettes, records, etc.., and not been able to access it due to a missing component in your system. As players advance beyond Blu-ray and into the realm of 4K plus who knows what else, this bundled component will provide viewability for 2 soon to be obsolete formats VHS, DVD, and CD. The component cable output allows viewing and listening in THX enabled systems which is something you do not find in the vast majority of VCR units or early DVD players. Brand new, this unit still sells for $270.
