Great dvd recorder

Pros: Reliable, easy-to-use, excellent picture

Cons: Spartan features

Review: A great recorder. Have had since 12/2006 and has been 100% reliable with 50+ dvd's recorded. Has 6 modes, 1/2/4/6/8/10 hour, first three modes have excellent picture quality. easy to set timer recordings. very quiet, no fan, faint clicking noise. records only to -R/-RW discs but will play +R/+RW. this model does not have lots of features but never fails on recording or with the timer. consumer reports gave it a best buy rating and i would rate it highly as well.

Great DVD recorder

Pros: front A/v s-video inputs; small deepth

Cons: no coaxial output; only burns DVD-R/Ws

Review: I think this is a great little dvd recorder. As a college student, I have very little space and this is a very compact design (it is only 10 inches deep). The only complaints that I have about it are that it only burns DVD-R and DVD-RWs (NO DVD+R/W). While there is a coaxial output, it does not send out the video on ch. 3 or 4 like a VCR but sends out the same cable that is coming in. In other words, you have to use the component, RCA or S-Video to watch the DVD. One really nice thing about it is the that there are 6 recording modes/qualities that allow you to record in 1,2,4,6,8,or 10 hour time periods. Also there is no volume control on this unit.
