This DVD recorder works fine as documented. The problem is it will only write on older DVD-R and DVD-RW media which are either hard to find or expensive. The fastest DVD-R supported is 4X, DVD-RW is 2X. DVD-R rated at 8X and slower will not work. No firmware updates for faster media are planned.

I've had this recorder for a little over a week and it works flawlessly, including recordering on DVD-R 8x Media. I actually bought a batch of DVD-R 4x, figuring it would not work on 8x media, based on the manual and the one reviewer. However, I decided to test out an 8x and it worked just fine.

I bought this because my LiteOn LVW-5005 started to act up and fail on the finalization of discs when it was not the fault of the disc. At this early stage, I feel the Funai is a better machine. The test of time might prove otherwise, but for now that is my conclusion.
