1.0 out of 5 stars Warning!, February 2, 2006

By	b james "bj" (Utah) - See all my reviews

If you record a program over 2 hours long there is a high probability that the laser lense will overheat and burn out. 90 day warranty only. Expensive to have fixed. OK for short recordings.

1.0 out of 5 stars Will never buy GoVideo again., January 7, 2007

By	Bruno (NYC) - See all my reviews

I had the Model 3845 about one year before it started refusing to read DVDs. Several sources said that the laser head burns out if you use it for more than 2-3 hours straight and that's what happened to mine. I understand it is a common problem (look at the number of dead units being sold on eBay). Phone support was discontinued when I tried to call and they never answer e-mails. A $250. boat anchor as even the VCR would not work properly anymore. And failure to respond to a customer is inexcusable.

1.0 out of 5 stars Short Lived!, October 13, 2006

By	R. Foster (Columbus, MS) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have owned the VR3845 for about 5 months, but have only used it sparingly. It has been used to watch no more than a dozen commercial DVDs and it was used to copy two VCR tapes. The unit will no longer read a disk. I did get it to read one after trying many different DVD disks, but all it did was go to the FBI Warning screen and freeze.

Calling their 1-800 number did not work because they said it was out of operation and to use their web site. The Service center locator on their site does not work. I think they are out of business. Anyway, you can see I am not pleased at all.
