Tech Talk
Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound.

3 out of 5 stars Nice but Noisy.......2007-07-05

Works well and has nice features but is noisy. A number of other reviewers made comment on the noise and they're 100% correct and this is from a man with less than perfect hearing.

1 out of 5 stars Don't buy it!!.......2006-12-11

I bought this Samsung DVD/VCR combo because I have had good Samsung products in the past, and I needed a black unit to match my other components.
I hooked it up through my home theatre system, but it only plays through the home theatre speakers if I'm playing a DVD, but not a VHS tape. When I asked Samsung's tech support why that was they replied VHS doesn't have that capability. Hmmmm, my other VHS player did...how odd.
Also, everytime I play a VHS tape, it eats the tape!!!
Also, no slow motion capability for the DVD player!!!
I'm very disappointed with this unit.

1 out of 5 stars Horrible!.......2006-08-02

I never thought a piece of electronics could inspire so much hatred in me.

1st - It distorts the aspect ratio on my (very typical) TV. Messing with the settings changes distorts the problem even more but doesn't fix it.
2nd - No search buttons on DVD. Instead you have to hold down the track change buttons. God I hate that!
3rd - The search thing doesn't even work like its supposed too. You hold the button for a long time and the thing just gets really confused, spins for awhile, then spits you out to another track. And all i wanted to do was rewind a few seconds.
4th - It takes forever to load or do anything and won't play even slightly damaged discs that work fine on other players.

If you buy this you are asking for pain. Stay away!

    5 out of 5 stars No problems.......2007-12-24

    I have 2 of the 2GB models. One for primary storage and the other for a live backup. I've had zero problems with either. They are fast and pretty quiet - plus they haven't failed. So - so far so good, for me.

    4 out of 5 stars I have about 8 of these drives........2007-11-01

    I have used Lacie drives for at least 4 years. I have four 500 Gigabytes sizes, 5 single terabyte sizes and 1 two terabyte size. I have never had a problem with any of them.

    1 out of 5 stars Beware of this drive.......2007-10-26

    I have 3 of the Lacie Bigger Disk Extreme external drive -- and have been running them all over firewire 800 which is much faster when compared to firewire or usb 2.0. However my 2TB drives have both shot cr*ps on me. My 1TB is still running fine -- but it does not really get used that much.

    Lacie has swapped both drives out under warranty -- however the warranty is very lacking. You can only communicate via an online email service. Expect about a weeks worth of nonsense troubleshooting steps before they will replace the drive.

    1 out of 5 stars danger will robinson!.......2007-10-23

    mine died within a year -- it would periodically fail, restart, vanish, reappear, before finally grinding to a perminant death. i replaced it (about four months ago) the new one is chugging along but this is really the first time i've ever had a drive fail like that. gah.

    1 out of 5 stars Failed 5 times!...and counting.......2007-10-18

    You think YOU have it bad?! The 2TB drive has failed and been shipped back to Lacie 5 TIMES now!!!
    The drive failed the first time within about a week! After that (and I'm soooo stupid for trusting in the drive) it kept failing over and over again.
    Now I need to review Lemon Laws to see my options!

    Do NOT under any circumstances buy this product!!!
