Title: Didn't work straight out of the box
Product review: I guess I'll join the legions of other reviewers who will attest that this product is junk. I wish I had read these reviews before buying mine. After turning the unit on for the 1st time and sticking in the blank DVD that came with the unit, it just says "format" on the player screen for a few seconds then won't do anything, not even eject the disc. I have to turn the player off & back on just to get the blank disc out. Tried multiple brands of DVD+Rs and all had the same problem. Contacted Cyberhome customer service via email & they replied that discs need to be formatted, but there is no info about how to do that in the manual. Posted for help on a Cyberhome user message board & others told me you do not need to format DVD+Rs as they are preformatted and there is no way to even do that on the player. So, bad unit, plus bad info from their tech support. Basically I now have a $200 DVD player, not a recorder.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
