Good Points

When the LVW-5005 is working properly it will record to both + and - formats, and it is easy to use.

Bad Points

My machine gradually stopped recording, and it even turned some earlier discs into 'data' discs and removed the recorded material.

General Comments

My Lite-On LVW-5005 DVD recorder was very good to start with, but it gradually lost interest in recording. I tried firmware updates from Lite-On but that did not work. I tried contacting Lite-On, but I did not get any replies to my emails and no-one seemed keen to answer the phone.

It still makes a useful DVD player though, which is something. I would not buy another!!

    I bought a liteon from Argos and experienced the same problems. I managed to speak to liteon and was told this was a common problem and they would replace the drive, which presumably would then have the same problem, so I returned it. I got a reply on the contact number from their website, May be worth checking whether they guarantee the replacment drive, if not got receipt to return to supplier.
