Customer Reviews

Great Player and Recorder!
I bought this unit about 7 months ago and it works perfect! The picture when playing DVDs is great, and I had no problem recording dvds (and using them on other DVD players). I noticed that other reviews seemed to be negative because of issues that were the users fault to begin with.

1) If you finalize the DVD properly per the instructions, it works fine (and will play on other DVD players).

2) Yes of course it is region locked (as most players are). You can't fault the unit because YOU didn't read the description when you bought it.

It has come in handy many times when I wanted to keep a copy of a TV show but no longer wanted to take up room on my DVR. I highly recommend!

Works Great...but..creates Empty Titles
If you do NOT fill the entire disk with your recording the the unit will create a title with the remaining disk space on the menu named "EMPTY TITLE". You are NOT able to delete this. However you may overwrite this title if you don't finalize. Deleting of tiles is very slow, but Finalizing of disks is very fast. I have no compatibility issues with disks recorded on this unit and played back on other brand DVD players. It does not record to Dual Layer or DVD-RAM Disks. But those disks are not worth the cost. Other than that it plays and records great.
It will even up convert to 1080p. This unit is sure worth the price if you get it for $70 or less.

Great DVD Recorder - No issues when directions are followed!

I had no issues with this piece of equipment, in fact I LOVE IT!

After seeing the first review, I made sure to follow the instructions regarding the finalizing of the DVD. The disks recorded just fine and played on other players, perfect picture. It has come in SO handy for recording movies and shows. I checked the first couple of DVDs after recording them, and they were great. I also transferred holiday video from my camcorder.

I think the last review mentioning the problem with the region code is not the fault of the DVD recorder...most players/recorders have region codes (world wide), so if you want to take the unit to another country, you would need to check if it is compatible beforehand.

All in all, I would recommend this recorder to anyone interested in purchasing one.
