Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

For a component DVD recorder that's affordable as well as easy to use, consider Classic's DVR1000. The full-featured player/recorder offers composite- and S-video inputs, an RF antenna/VCR input, and a stylish front-panel vacuum-fluorescent display. Its built-in NTSC broadcast tuner lets you record right off the air for convenient, time-shifted viewing of your favorite TV programs--just set its timer in advance for up to 8 recording events.

The DVR1000 records on DVD+R (write-once) and DVD+RW (rewritable) media. DVD+RW discs require no finalizing--you can record, eject, and play them with minimal fuss, thanks to "background formatting." This feature, which lowers the total recording time, is an advantage over the "dash" formats. Scale your quality according to your desired duration, from 1 hour at the highest quality to 4 hours at the lowest.

As a player, the DVR1000 offers compatibility with not only DVD+R/+RW but with DVD-R/DVD-RW media, MP3 CD for your homemade music mixes, Kodak Picture CD for your custom digital slideshows, and even progressive-scan component-video outputs for a seamless, flicker-free image on high-definition and HD-ready TVs.

Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

A set of left/right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (one each of RCA coaxial and Toslink optical) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver.

Other features include CD repeat and random play modes, an RF video output for TV viewing using the DVR1000's tuner, and an onscreen display with time/status display.

What's in the Box
DVD player/recorder, remote control, remote batteries, user's manual, and a stereo analog audio interconnect/composite-video cable.

I would've given the Classic DVR1000 3 stars - but, after reading product reviews on even the most popular brand (and much more expensive) dvd recorders - I am very grateful that I purchased this system at this time. For the moment, it seems to be up to snuff with any brand out there. Take it or leave it. It has it's pros and cons - but, apparently they all do. So, until the day that one of these manufacturers REALLY, REALLY painstakingly troubleshoots all of the existing pangs out of present day recorders - this CLASSIC DVR1000 will suffice for anyone interested to purchase an inexpensive and fully functional DVD Recorder. I have had limited bad experiences so far. I've had to throw away a disk or three - but, from what I understand - so does everyone else! What gives??? I don't know. I do know that the DVD's I have created with this recorder were crisp even utilizing the 3 hour recording mode. Imagine! 4 Disney movies on 1 DVD! I did it from my VHS tapes. Can't tell the difference. If you want to spend more to get the same results - go right ahead. I wouldn't waste my money until they perfect the whole world of DVD recorders.

I bought this dvd recorder around a year-and-a-half ago. 8 months ago the device began to malfunction and so i sent it in to classic for a warranty repair. as it turns out the device is on back-order and they will no longer be making repairs or replacements. therefore i have been in lidigation with classic for the past 8 months and they have been less than helpfull. i citanly donot recomend buying this, or any other classic product.

This is the biggest piece of crap...period! After about two months had no sound from coaxial connection, had to use s-video and rca. Sound was still bad, but could hear it at high volumes. Soon after would no longer record from a timer program. Now I can't even get the f@#king disc out. Company is of no help and will not repair. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY on this garbage!!!
