Title: DVD burning died after 13 months
Product review: Samsung DVD-VR357 Tunerless DVD Recorder and VCR ComboMine was purchased from Sams over a year ago. The VCR works flawlessly and is heavily used by my technphobe housemate. I recorded a lot of TV using DVD+RW and DVD-RAM. I also used the DVD to play content burned on various computer DVD burners (all LG) to DVD+RW, DVD+R and DVD-RAM. The VR357 was very good about drilling through folders. I just did my first VCR-DVD direct transfer. The quality was exceptional. After that first success the DVD recorder is suddenly toast. I can no longer format or initialize my DVD-RWs or DVD-RAMs. DVD-RWs become corrupt and DVD-RAMs cause the machine to POWER OFF!!!I am purchasing a replacement from a well known retailer, refurbished. Perhaps it will run longer. I loved it while it worked.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
