Akai DVDRW120 Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder
Contradictory product review to what consumers are saying???
I am confused by the one review.  Someone please help me!!  I cant rate this item YET - but based on the price and the contradictory statements I set it to a 3.<br />The product reviews above states in the second paragraph  \\"You can also use the DVDRW120 like a VCR, burning televised programs directly to disc. DVD+RW discs require no finalizing--you can record, eject, and play them with minimal fuss, thanks to &quot;background formatting.&quot; This feature, which lowers total burning time, is an advantage over the &quot;dash&quot; formats. Other DVD+RW advantages include on-disc content editing and multisession writing. And, because of DVD+RW and DVD+R's compatibility with most existing DVD players, they're a great way for you to share your special memories with family and friends.\\"<br />If this is true then why did this person write \\"So Far, So Good- addition/correction, July 13, 2004 <BR> Reviewer: An electronics fan from Pennsylvania, USA  <BR>.... thanks to sc from MD for pointing out that you have to &quot;finalize&quot; a DVD+R so it will play in other machines. I missed that step in the manual, I did finalize all my DVD+Rs and they all play in my older player, which is an APEX AD-2500. I was under the impression I needed a newer player, nice to know that is not the case. Very well pleased so far with this machine.\\"<br />HELP - CONTRADICTORY STATEMENTS !!!!!!
