 Great overall DVD Player but recorder has limited options November 12, 2008
This unit plays DVD is super quality through the HDMI connector, however, the recorder has limited capabilities. Even though it is a multi format recordr, I found it to only record on DVD+R discs. Also, recording shows over 1.5 hours makes you choose a lower resolution which creates skips and noticeable pixels. Anything 1.5 hours or less record very nice. The Anynet is nice since I have a Samsung LCD. You can use the DVD remote to control the volume on the TV, also, when you power up the DVD player, it automatically switches the TV so you don't have to manally change the input select.
 Mine is fine October 21, 2008
Had mine for 5 months now, throughout the hot summer, & it did not overheat & die. Nice quality image, & features. Easy to use too... I never read the instruction booklet. So far it's recorded & played every DVD- media I put in it.
It has a pause button that actually works the way it should too, which beats Sony's no or limited pause recorders hands down. It's a shame it don't record DVD+ media like most recorders, & VCDs/SVCDs for short clips & projects.
 Flawed Design Don't Buy September 7, 2008
This machine has no internal fan and gets VERY hot. Due to the heat, it simply stopped working. Looking around the internet, I have since found that this is a common problem with this machine. Before it stopped working, it was very finicky with various DVD forms which it claims to play. I would strongly recommend going with a different product.
Junk: "Disc Cannot Be Played" error after 2 months August 13, 2008
Worked fine for a month. Then it stopped reading some discs. Now it won't play anything. "Disc cannot be played." Even on brand new movies.
Good value for this price range July 7, 2008
I place a bid on eBay and won one Samsung R150 refurbished for merely 50$. It uses DVD minus discs. Has different recording mode, EP for up to 6,8hr of recording time, Or SP if you want better picture quality. After recording and editing just finalize the disc so it can play in other dvd player. Easy to use. A good DVD recorder for this price range.
