Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
GoVideo's VR1940 takes all the convenience of a VCR, mirrors it in a DVD recorder, then dishes up a component with the ability to record to either of the 2 major DVD formats (plus and minus R/RW) and VHS videocassette. The deck can copy VHS tapes to DVD and DVDs to VHS at the touch of a button (except where prohibited by copy-protection technology). For camcorder owners, transferring home movies to DVD has never been easier. A front-panel IEEE 1394 DV input accepts feeds from digital camcorders for easy recording to DVD and for playback on your TV. You get 8-event, 1-month timer recording and you can choose whether to record to tape or disc for each program item.
GoVideo's EZ-Guide simplifies DVD recording, from setup to editing. You can record your favorite television shows and treasured home videos to high-quality, long-lasting DVD+R (write-once) and DVD+RW (rewriteable) discs. The recorder's built-in NTSC TV tuner and onscreen user interface permits up to eight timer recordings over a single month, with five recording speeds providing between 1 and 6 hours of content on each 4.7 GB DVD. The unit automatically creates a new disc title every time you start a new recording. You can then add chapters to these recordings manually or have them automatically inserted at 5- to 30-minute intervals.
DVD+RW media require no finalizing--you can record, eject, and play them with minimal fuss, thanks to "background formatting." This feature, which lowers total burning time, is an advantage over the "dash" formats. Other DVD+RW advantages include on-disc content editing and multisession writing.
DoMiNoFX helps you create better-looking DVDs by digitally improving the input signal using 3 patented processes: TrueScan Pro, TrueView Pro, and PerfectView Pro. A technology called CleanCopy offers one-touch improvement and archiving of your VHS tapes to long-lasting DVDs. CleanCopy automatically enhances picture and sound quality for keeping your memories vivid.
The VR1940 is a first-rate DVD player, too. Movie fans will love GoVideo's AutoPlay DVD feature, which automatically skips ads, movie trailers, and disc menus, jumping right to the start of the main attraction. Simply place the disc in the tray, press the play key, and the movie will start without interruption. YourDVD, another GoVideo exclusive, simplifies your DVD player use by permanently storing the set-up preferences that--on most DVD players--need to be checked or unchecked every time you load a new DVD.
Other features include progressive-scan video outputs and support for MP3 and JPEG CDs. A variety of video and audio inputs--including front-panel connections for fast, temporary hookups--grant connection to virtually all televisions and home theater components. 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.
And, unlike all other DVD/VCR combination products, the VR1940 will connect to your television and deliver DVD or VHS signals using any of its available video connections, including S-video and component-/progressive-scan video outputs. Now you can view both DVD and VHS content without having to change connections or switch TV inputs.
To help you navigate the transition from VCR to DVD recording, GoVideo's "white-glove customer care" includes free telephone assistance in making your first recording, should you need it.
What's in the Box
DVD player/recorder, a blank DVD+RW disc, a remote control, remote batteries, an RF coaxial audio/video cable (3 feet), a stereo analog audio/composite-video interconnect (3 feet), and a user's manual.

Buggy Product,
By
This review is from: GoVideo VR 1940 DVD Recorder/VCR Combo (Electronics)
Have now returned my second unit...this time for a refund.
Unit 1: DVD did not work Unit 2: Recording from camcorder i.link worked about 80% of the time. When I stopped the recording the unit froze and I would have to re-record the section. Of course the available recording time of the DVD disk was reduced like the item was recorded. After numerous times I got tired of this and sent the unit back. Additionally, I would add titles to the thumbnails and lock them, then they would disappear. E-mailed Govideo customer service and got no response.

Buyer Beware!!! (no stars, really),
By
This review is from: GoVideo VR 1940 DVD Recorder/VCR Combo (Electronics)
Although I purchased a different unit, the GoVideo 8440 Portable DVD Player, it played exactly 6 movies before dying. GoVideo replaced it with a refurbished model, which arrived in non-working condition. I received a THIRD replacement unit (new)from GoVideo, which failed within minutes out of the box. Please note that I have since discovered that GoVideo Inc. is NOT a member of the Better Business Bureau of Central/Northern Arizona and has MULTIPLE complaints against the company. Purchase at your own risk!!

Terrible machine,
By
This review is from: GoVideo VR 1940 DVD Recorder/VCR Combo (Electronics)
Please do not purchase this machine, it has numerous bugs and glitches. The errors I've found:
1. If you hit 'stop' on a DVD it marks the stop. (which is great if you turn it off and turn it on..it knows where to pick back up). Unfortunately EVERY time it restarts and hits the marked stop it will skip back to the beginning of that chapter. 2. Repeatedly the DVD selection screen will lockup. It shows the command menu but not the curser. Ejecting and reloading the disc solves the problem. 3. The remote is remarkably cheap and poorly made. All told this machine is not worth your money. Purchase any other company's recorder instead.
