Good Points

Easy to use, excelent picture quality (xp and so modes), record ok on DVD-R 1x, 4x, 8x 16x, finalizing a full recorded DVD-R take 1 to 2 minutes only, full formatting of a blank DVD-RAM takes 2 minutes only.


Bad Points

Never had a problem, maybe I miss a recorded sound control for volume or tone, but is ok.


General Comments

I have these recorder 3 years by now (buyed in Baja, M xico, 2005, made in Malasya in 2004), and recorded many DVDs (may be a hundred or more) and recorded on DVD-RAM almost daily TV programs and never experienced any trouble. I think there are some (or many?) products sold with low control quality, maybe we have to check the date of manufacture, country of origin and look for a pattern. Mine was an old product on store and a little bit expensive ($4600 pesos, $450 dollars), and was modified to be multiregion (although the box said it was region 4 only). The picture quality is excellent, and in some cases improves the source (if the source is a VCR and the connection to the recorder is by s-video cable). I allways use the recorder with a little fan on it to lowering the heat produced, and every two months I remove the case and blow up with an air can. never have a problem.
