DVD players are becoming less expensive to buy and are being found in more and more homes. Video rental stores have predominantly, if not all DVDs rather than videos making it almost impossible not to have a DVD player in your home if you like to watch movies. If you are currently using a VCR rather than a DVD player then purchasing a DVD player can be a difficult transition. What do you do with all your VHS tapes and Where are you going to fit your new DVD player in your entertainment center? A good alternative can be to purchase a DVD/VCR combo. While there are several very expensive models it is possible to get a quality DVD/VCR combo for under $150. Here are a few of the top DVD/VCR combos under $150.

Toshiba DVD/VCR Combo

Have you always had trouble setting the clock on your VCR? This VC/DVD combo by Toshiba sets the clock on the VCR itself, which in my opinion is a pretty great feature to have. This DVD player is also progressive scan like the Sony model and will allow you to play a CD with your picture on your television. Parents will love using the parental controls on the DVD player making it so you can restrict the ratings on the movies your children are allowed to watch while you are not there.
