It's your standard DVD recorder.
|
This is a no-frills DVD player and recorder. There is no hard drive, digital tuner, or VCR built into it. I didn't need any of that. I just needed something to record shows on TV and watch them on other DVD players.
Good things about it:
It's cheap.
There have been no crashes yet in anything involved with recording.
It doesn't look cheap.
It has a built-in analog tuner. Some DVD recorders are now being sold without any tuner which is surprising.
It's very easy and straightforward to set up timers for recording shows.
Not-so-good things about it:
Confusing layout of buttons on remote. Every button is clumped together and look alike, and they only differ by their small descriptions.
There is no 2.5 or 3 hour recording mode. 2-hour SP mode looks great, while 4-hour LP mode looks really muddy and compressed. This is bad when I have to record something that's only slightly more than 2 hours long.
It only accepts DVD -R and -RW for recording. Fortunately, +R and +RW discs can be played just as long as they are finalized.
Skipping a chapter takes a full second. Every other DVD player I have skips chapters instantly.
The tuner is analog-only. The input with best picture quality is only S-Video, which makes recording future digital and HD content to be less than steller, even in XP 1-hour mode. |
