Sylvania DVR90VE DVD Player/Recorder and Hi-Fi VCR Combo
Will not work with practically any disk
I've had this unit for two weeks and am down better than $100 in dvd's and still haven't gotten one copy.  Tried the CompUSA house brand 4x, no dice.  I bought some Maxcell rated for 1x-8x, they didn't work.  Bought the high quality Japanese brand Taio Yuden 4x, didn't work.  Searched the web today for the Memorex recommended in another review.  Few stores still stock 4x and 100 seem to run $70 to $90 per 100.  There is no way that 4x disks will be available in a year's time.  Called today to find what would work and the first gal put me on hold for 15 minutes than hung up.  The second gal said use 4x Memorex, and then listed a bunch of company's disks that she knew wouldn't work, e.g. Sony.    I found some old Verbatim disks at Sam's Club.  They do work with it.  I cleaned them out.  Bought 5 50 packs.    WHY ISN'T ANY OF THIS IN THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL?    Secondly it wouldn't copy any movies I had.  Don't assume it will work with commercial movies.  From the reviews I thought it would.  My mistake.    When playing DVD's though the picture looks great so I didn't give it one star.    Mine died inside one year so I'm downgrading it.  Wish I could give it a 0.
