Factory-Reconditioned GoVideo VR3930R DVD Recorder/VHS Combo
From VCR to DVD
I purchased the (reconditioned) unit to replace a VCR that finally died after 17 years of flawless service.  So far it has performed well.  Movies recorded from mini satellite dish on LP are indistinguishable in my eye from the original broadcast.  I learned that up to 8 LP albums (long-play record albums ... what we listened to when I was young) can be squeezed onto one -R DVD, using LP mode.  Again, the playback to my ears is as good as the original, and it's much easier to find tracks than with VHS copies of the old albums.  Copying from VHS tapes to DVD has not been a problem, either, though I haven't had a need to attempt the reverse. <br /> <br />One problem.  I use the VR3930 audio-video input 1 to connect my satellite decoder to ensure that stereo sound gets recorded from that source.  That leaves audio-video input 2 (on the front of the VR3930)for recording from other sources like my stereo amplifier.  Problem is, once recording is finished and the VR3930 is turned off, some sort of feedback is transmitted through the cables to the stereo amlifier, making the sound from all sources (FM, CD, Casette Tape, Phono) sound a little fuzzy, like a slightly weak signal from a nearly-too-distant FM station.  If the VR3930 is turned back on, or if the line-input cables from the stereo amplifier to audio-video input 2 are disconnected, the sound returns to normal.  Slightly annoying, and never experienced by me with other line components (including my old, dead VCR).  All-in-all, I'm pleased, though it's still early ...
