5.0 out of 5 stars Works perfectly, May 1, 2008

By 

Patrick Matthews (Biggers, AR United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Magnavox DVD Recorder (Electronics)

I got mine 4 months ago for the purpose of copying my entire stock of vhs tapes onto dvd. I have been faithfully making at least 1 disc per day since then. With the exception of copywrite protected ones (mostly Disney - I've copied well over 240 movies (2 per disc in EP), and only have about 24 in my pile of movies that wouldn't copy), it has performed admirably and I have no complaints.

Regarding the clock problems that other reviewers mentioned, I suppose that would be a problem for timed recordings, which I'm currently not doing with the unit. However, I found that when the clock is not set (which happened when the power here went out), the unit doesn't display the unwanted information of when a particular title was recorded. (Honestly, I don't want to know what day and time I happened to copy my Ghostbusters movies onto a disc. I just want to know that they're copied and I don't have to rebuy them in dvd format.) Therefore, if you're not doing timed recordings, I'd highly recommend that you don't set the clock (which is what I decided once I discovered that). That also eliminates most of the default title so you don't have to delete as much when you enter proper titles.

I have never had a problem with my unit, and am nearly finished with my collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect so far, February 3, 2007

Max W. (Oklahoma City, OK USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Magnavox DVD Recorder (Electronics)

After owning this product for six weeks I couldn't be happier, it has performed perfectly and was easy to set up and not hard to learn how to use. Keep in mind that since I've owned the unit such a short time I can't vouch for its durability but if it's anything like an older Magnavox DVD player I own, it should be good. The manual is written well enough that even a novice should be able to have this unit up and running in a short time.

There is a learning curve if you've never owned a product like this before but it's not very steep. My advice is start out with some DVD+RW's and make a few short test recordings and play with the various functions until you get the hang of the many settings. Don't overlook the fact that DVDs other than DVD+RW's need to be finalized before they'll play on other DVD players. If you run into problems the manual will probably be enough to help you out. I can't rate Magnavox's customer support because I've not needed it yet. This unit will also play standard DVDs as well as those it creates.

Mine was purchased at Sams Club for about $89 and as of February 2007 they and Walmart still have many in stock. Shop around for the best price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Recorder!, October 1, 2006

By 

Young Pharaoh "Smart Engineer" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Magnavox DVD Recorder (Electronics)

I got this DVD recorder for $150 from Amazon last week and it exceeded my expectations. The quality of recording is great and the playback is razor sharp. I owned a JVC DVD recorder before this one but it wasn't that great. This one from Magnavox is superior to all DVD recorders that I have ever had and is priced so low too. I am giving it 5 stars and I definitely recommend it.
