Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Easy to use and just as easy on your pocketbook, GoVideo's affordable VR3930 dual-deck DVD player/DVD recorder and 4-head, hi-fi VCR lets you record your favorite television shows and treasured home videos not merely to VHS videocassette, but to high-quality, long-lasting, write-once and rewriteable DVDs, too: both DVD-R and DVD-RW, the most widely playable of the recordable DVD formats.

For camcorder owners, transferring home movies to DVD has never been easier. A convenient front-panel IEEE 1394 DV input accepts feeds from digital camcorders for easy recording to DVD and for playback on your TV. You can choose whether to record programs to tape or disc, and the recorder's built-in NTSC TV tuner and onscreen user interface permits up to 8 timer recordings over a single month, with 4 recording speeds providing between 1 and 4 hours of content on each DVD disc.

When recording, 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 five-minute intervals. You can program up to 8 timer recordings up to 1 month in advance, on either VHS tape or DVD.

The VR3930's versatile playback features include progressive-scan DVD video outputs and support MP3, JPEG, and Kodak Picture 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. Further simplifying your connections, the unit will pass both DVD and VHS signals from any of its video outputs (composite-, component-, and S-video) so you don't have to maintain multiple video feeds between the device and your television unless you're taking advantage of progressive-scanning.

The VR3930 comes with GoVideo's innovative EZ Play feature, designed to skips DVD ads, trailers, and menus, jumping right to the start of your movie. Simply place the disc in the tray, press the play key, and the movie starts without interruption. My DVD, another GoVideo exclusive, simplifies 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.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the VR3930's DVD player stands ready to deliver the full playback potential of your DVDs. 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.

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 recordable DVD-R, 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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Warning: Don't be tempted by the low price!, May 13, 2005
This review is from: GO VIDEO DVD Recorder + VCR VR3930 (Electronics)
I purchased a GoVideo DVD Recorder +VCR a mere seven months ago, and it worked fine for a while, but then the DVD drive simply died. I tried calling the so-called "help line" but was put on hold for over 45 minutes. I finally gave up and wrote an e-mail, but I received only FAQ answers in return (none of which addressed my problem). I finally decided to cut my losses and junk the machine. If you buy this piece of junk, don't expect it to last, and when it breaks, don't expect any support. Save your money and get a better product.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible Company and Product, September 25, 2005
This review is from: GO VIDEO DVD Recorder + VCR VR3930 (Electronics)
Purchased a new GoVideo DVD Recorder + VCR model VR3930. The instructions for set-up were very confusing and it took many tries before setup was accomplished. While attempting to record off our Sony CamCord,the unit would tape for a certain length of time then would stop completely. Called their service dept and received no help solving problem. When recording DVD's off another DVD Player the 3930 would not play the DVD at times. Some DVD's it would play, others wouldn't. All the DVD's would play on our bedroom DVD player. (Which is not a GOVideo machine)
The machine is not very reliable at all. Sometimes it will do what it is designed to do, other times it will not. Customer Service is not very helpful, and lets you know if your outside the 90 day warranty period, the machine is your responsibility. After dealing with this company, I definitely would not buy ANY product from them.

1.0 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware!!! (no stars, really), September 23, 2005
This review is from: GO VIDEO DVD Recorder + VCR VR3930 (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!!
