Sylvania DVR90VE DVD Player/Recorder and Hi-Fi VCR Combo
Even DVD-R 4X Don't Work Well
It took me a while to figure out I have to use 4X disks for this unit.  Now I am able to record a disk.  However, almost every disk I record plays back decently in the unit until about halfway through.  After that point the playback pauses for 1/2 to 3 minutes and then skips over much recorded material.  After that happens the playback keeps pausing, skipping and exhibiting other weird artifacts. <br />I have bought a third brand of DVD-R 4X (top of the line Taiyo Yuden) to try.  If these fail, I will pitch the unit and stop throwing good money after bad.  Perhaps a Panasonic?
