Review title: Open box disaster
Product review: I originally wanted a non-brand DVD recorder but a well-known store had an open box version of this one. It came with no power cord which was easily purchased at a local electronics store. However, when I arrived home, the remote was no where to be found. Since we just moved I thought I might have misplaced it. After a week of searching, I decided to buy a universal remote which might work AFTER you get past the initial installation process (!?!) However you CAN NOT get past the original set-up without the original remote. I didn't read the reviews on this machine until I got home because Magnavox is typically a pretty good brand. My mistake. I'm going to take it back and stick with my original decision to buy the well-reviewed non-brand.So in summary, who knows how the machine really works. Who ever heard of having to INSTALL a stand alone DVD recorder? My last final 2 cents--DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. It was discontinued for a REASON!
