JVC DVD/VHS Combo trouble
In the past week I have purchased and returned five JVC DR-MV1SL recorders.  All but 1 functioned properly in the record mode from VHS to DVD, and produced at least one good copy before failing.  They began to turn themselves off after less than two minutes of recording, ruining the DVD media, and of course failing to provide the copy.  All VHS tapes were of original material.  Was this product rushed to market with quality control problems, or was I just unlucky enough to encounter five defective machines in a row?  What are those odds?  I have given up, and will purchase a stand-alone DVD recorder by another manufacturer.
