Customer Reviews

Excellent Low Cost DVD Recorder
This is my first DVD Recorder.
I actually got this here on Amazon for $88.09 (New) and am VERY happy with it. I have only recorded to DVD-Rs but have had no problems either recording or playing back any DVD. I like that it plays DivX discs.

The main reason I bought it was to record programs off of the Tivo. I have NOT recorded any Pay-per-View (no interest) nor any Premium channels like HBO, Showtime, ect... (don't have any). I haven't tried to back-up any bought DVD either. But I have read elsewhere that it will do all of these.

I wish when playing back a DVD it would give you a timeline to show you how far along you are. All you get when you fast-forward/rewind is that symbol (>> or <<), no idea if you are at the beginning, middle or end.

TV is a 50" Samsung 720p. DVR is a SD Tivo.

Pleased do not add MY name to products I have not reviewed because I have NOT BOUGHT THEM.

Records dvd's too dark
I purchased this recorder for the sole purpose of having quick backup capability for my miniDV tapes. I was backing up to the Toshiba dvd recorder as well as pulling the video off to my computer at the same time. Every dvd I have burned, no matter how I set it up, the picture was much darker than it should be. I've checked settings, connections, read the manual and nothing fixed the issue.

For average user, it might suffice but for my business, I can't have backup's that are useless.
