5 stars Great 2010-08-29

Reviewer: Gary M. Fishkin

It's perfect for what it's supposed to do.
I'm converting all of the old family VHS tapes, and so far 5 out of 5 have worked perfectly.
A great price for a great product.

1 stars Wouldn't record DirectTV on any type of DVD 2010-08-24

Reviewer: Elrics Bane

Got this unit hooked up with no problem to record content from my DirectTV. Everytime I would try to record somewhere from 15 minutes to 35 minutes into recording I would get a disc error stating the unit couldn't record to the type of disc. I tried several different types of DVD's -R +R RW and different brands, Verbatium, Toshiba (should work right?), Sony and had the error on all discs and disc types. Tech support was a joke and kept blaming me for doing something wrong but they couldn't identify it. I am a systems admin so I know I had it setup correctly, the recorder was just terrible. I returned the item to Amazon and am seeking a replacement. If anyone knows of a good burner besides this one please post. thank you.

4 stars Good Product 2010-08-23

Reviewer: James A. Bell

It is a very good product. It will just take time for me to better understand all of the features that it has.

5 stars Beats the heck out of all the rest 2010-08-11

Reviewer: Jason Gansauer

I have been struggling for some time with another brand of dvd recorder. I cannot tell you how many times I had to refer to the manual or switch settings to even attempt to record and then finalize my recording. This recorder is very simple and obviously meant for me. A great price as well.

5 stars Works Great!!!!! 2010-08-11

Reviewer: Dallas

I have already done 12 movies and they have turned out perfect.
This unit works great, and i have really enjoyed using it.
My main reason for buying it was to record movies in full screen
because i am not to crazy about widescreen or letter box.
Some people may like there movie chopped off, but i don't.
I look at it this way, if i spend $ 1,200.00 for a 65 inch big screen
TV i want to see all of it. Thanks Dallas
