Recording and playback on hard drive has never been an issue as this is excellent.
Bad Points
After six months the unit decided that whatever the make of disc offered to it, it was not going to play ball and record on to said disc.
General Comments
I found that the Lite-On LVW-5045 would copy one program OK but if another program was added, it would corrupt the disc it had previously recorded on to! Having disposed of over two hundred dvd discs destroyed by this manic machine, I am at a loss as to how lite-on can market such rubbish as "fit for purpose^. Like many others, I have found that with age, the machine refuses to recognise its own previous recordings along with the brands of dvd recommended by lite-on themselves. The money I have wasted on trying to find a compatible dvd for this insult of a machine would have paid for another manufacturer's that worked. To add insult to injury, when it is switched on it switches itself off and when asked to open its recorder drawer, the blessed thing jams - did anyone at Lite-on actually trial this thing?I wished I had read other folks reports on this junk before purchasing it - we learn by our experiences and Lite-on is a name firmly burnt on my memory, which is more than I can say for their recorder's ability where dvd's are concerned.
