Review title: Magnavox...not very smart!
Product review: This was my second attempt at a DVD recorder and this one was actually worse than the first one (see my review on the GoVideo). First, the manual is terribly written and the on-screen hyroglypics are horrible. Very user un-friendly. After first hooking it up, it wouldn't recognize ANY disc; R, RW, or pre-recorded concert DVD's. Finally, I got it to recognize everything except recorded +R's, so I tried to record something using the timer. After supposedly recording the programs, I couldnt' get the machine to turn on! I had to unplug it to get the disk out, and then there wasn't even anything on it. I tried it again...saw that it was recording...and when it was done, still couldn't get it open! Very frustrating...so I'm taking it back ASAP!. I decided after reading reviews that all DVD recorders have problems of one kind or another, so I'm only buying locally, to save the hassle of return shipping. I may try Sony next, since I have a regular Sony DVD and it works fine.
