1.0 out of 5 stars Disc destroyer! Money wasted., June 26, 2005
This review is from: LiteOn Progressive Scan DVD+R/RW LVW-5101 DVD Recorder w/ TV or Camcorder Input (Electronics)
The LVW-5101 was my first dvd recorder. I figured 139.99 was a bargain considering how new the technology was.

Unfortunately, the unit developed quirks right away like the clock that runs way too fast, picking up a few minutes every day.
Sometimes the unit stopped in the middle of a recording session and sometimes it started recording when it wanted. Either way it wasted my money because the disc was ruined.

Now it ruins discs that have been recorded but not finalized by overwriting automatic formating because it does not recognize recordings made by itself. And it confuses dvd+r with dvd+rw, thereby ruining the disc.

I must say I am pretty sour on the Lite-on brand.

1.0 out of 5 stars Stay away from Lite On, May 18, 2006

This review is from: LiteOn Progressive Scan DVD+R/RW LVW-5101 DVD Recorder w/ TV or Camcorder Input (Electronics)
Complete piece of junk. Playback is erratic. Never recorded even ONCE - it just sits and clicks incessantly after you're done "recording" as it tries to write to the disc. Someone suggested upgrading the firmware - I followed instructions and it can't read the CD-ROM with the firmware either. Tried calling tech support and was put on hold - after 45 minutes of listening to Vivaldi I gave up. Avoid products from this company at all costs - I'm finally reconciled to kissing my $100 something bucks goodbye...

1.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't hook it up, January 13, 2006
This review is from: LiteOn Progressive Scan DVD+R/RW LVW-5101 DVD Recorder w/ TV or Camcorder Input (Electronics)
I tried it on two television sets and tried all recommended available hookups--and I have been doing this kind of connection since the 1970s. But I couldn't get the setup to start. When I finally located the producer in Taiwan,whose only advice was to get another one from the seller, who said they weren't producing it any longer. End of story. But I had read a review which concluded that it was the best in its price category.
