With Circuit City closing all their stores, Zenith brand may be dead as well...

Apparently, I picked up the last Zenith DVD recorder/VCR combo there was at Circuit City since I'm going to miss Zenith. It's a very strange design internally, because I would grade LG-made DVD/VCR combo (including JVC) the most trouble-prone manufacturer. Everything it's run by using surface-mount caps entirely. There are very very few regular sized caps used. There is no cooling fan at all, making the unit run very hot than necessary. LG-made DVD/VCR combos get the most 1-star reviews on Amazon. They're a lot worse than Funai, and I don't recommend LG-made DVD/VCR combos to any AK members.
