unit works and functions properly. I personally cleaned the head and repaired the mode switch inside the unit for VCR to function. dvd player works so no attention was needed there. unfortunately no remote is included. °°° I will add some extras if purchased at full asking price. °°°extras will be a coax cable or rca wires. your choice. as well as a vhs tape and dvd of random choice. when you message about the cables you may include a genre and I will try to accommodate that. please message with any questions. thanks and happy viewing!!!
