5.0 out of 5 stars Great Player and Recorder!, August 25, 2009

I bought this unit about 7 months ago and it works perfect! The picture when playing DVDs is great, and I had no problem recording dvds (and using them on other DVD players). I noticed that other reviews seemed to be negative because of issues that were the users fault to begin with.

1) If you finalize the DVD properly per the instructions, it works fine (and will play on other DVD players).

2) Yes of course it is region locked (as most players are). You can't fault the unit because YOU didn't read the description when you bought it.

It has come in handy many times when I wanted to keep a copy of a TV show but no longer wanted to take up room on my DVR. I highly recommend!

I bought this thing back in the day (4-5 years ago) to record whatever was being displayed on my TV. Works great and is reliable/durable. I bought a different brand DVDRec and it broke in the first couple weeks under light use. Did my research, got this one and never had any problems. This DVDR actually looks great too, nice shiny/glossy (not cheap looking) finish on the front of the device. This is the perfect replacement for a VCR if you don't want to rent a DVR from your cable company. Has HDMI up-convert which is nice. I have never had trouble with viewing these DVDs on other DVD players. Maybe it's because I have it configured correctly...

Very happy with my purchase. I would buy this product again. It can only record in Standard Definition (480p) so getting older, but this way you don't have to worry about HDCP and other technologies that can cause problems with HD recordings.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works Great...but..creates Empty Titles, August 26, 2009

If you do NOT fill the entire disk with your recording the the unit will create a title with the remaining disk space on the menu named "EMPTY TITLE". You are NOT able to delete this. However you may overwrite this title if you don't finalize. Deleting of tiles is very slow, but Finalizing of disks is very fast. I have no compatibility issues with disks recorded on this unit and played back on other brand DVD players. It does not record to Dual Layer or DVD-RAM Disks. But those disks are not worth the cost. Other than that it plays and records great.
It will even up convert to 1080p. This unit is sure worth the price if you get it for $70 or less.
