Title: Great Value-time to dump your VCR!
Review: The machine worked great right out of the box. The manual leaves a bit to be desired, however. All of the required info is there, but it takes some digging to find the information you want. The machine works fine with all the brands of DVD-RAM disks I have tried, provided they are formated correctly (which the deck can do). The only real disk compatibility problem I have found is with Imation disks, which must be "unlocked" on a computer with a DVD-RAM drive before they can be set up for formating and use. I've settled on TDK DVD-RAM disks and have had no problems. Commercial movie DVD's play great, with great video & DOLBY digital optical pass-through to a decoder, and DVD-R recordings work fine. (I've archived some of my old VHS tapes with no problems.) This one's a keeper!
