Pioneer DVR-RT300-S DVD Recorder and VCR Combo
Does what it's supposed to
This is the only DVD recorder I've ever owned, so I have nothing to compare it to.  However, I'm an stereo equipment guru and a recording studio engineer, so I have a good grasp of electronics.   <br /> <br />This unit works great, and does exactly what it's supposed to.  I've been very pleased with the video and audio quality (and I'm very picky).  The only thing that's bothersome is the amount of time it takes from when you insert a disc to when it's ready to record or perform other operations.  Also, you always have to press the \\"DVD/VCR\\" button on the remote to get a picture on your screen.  If you don't do this, you'll keep getting the regular TV station broadcast.  This button is not on the player itself, so it makes me scared that the remote will break and I won't be able to use the DVD player anymore!   <br /> <br />All in all a good value and I've been very happy with it.
