"Great DVD Recorder!"
Pros: Plays DivX/mpeg video files and mp3/jpeg files, plays all disc types, "hackable" firmware, Just Fit technology
Cons: Cannot record audio on CD-R or CD-RW, remote control key layout is not great
Summary: The DivX capability of the recorder/player is really useful. About the only thing I wish this recorder would do is record audio on CD-R...
If desired, you can "hack" the firmware for this DVD recorder by using "ILO / LiteOn SMART Firmware Hacker". The hack will disable Macrovision and will set the unit to be Region Free. Download the latest firmware (www.liteonamericas.com/us/download_dvd.htm), hack the firmware file, burn the firmware on a CD, and follow the on-screen prompts to update your firmware! I've updated my firmware two times already as Lite-On has released two updated firmware versions since I obtained my recorder at the end of last year.
As far as I can tell, there is no difference between the LVW-5115GHC+ and the LVW-5116GHC+. Both models use the same firmware version.
