Samsung DVD-VR320 DVD Recorder
Was great but then, UH OH
This unit was purchased to transfer home videos to DVD.  Once I got the hang of it, it was great!  Yes, the door opened slowly but I thought it was just that it took time for the disc to get started and stop. The simple chapter and title features were just what I wanted to break up the DVD for searching around.  The transfer of VHS video to DVD went well for a while, maybe eight times, but then it would stop recording after 30 seconds.  That became frustrating so I tried running my original 8mm canon camcorder tapes through the camera's out plugs to the DVD.  That worked well for about six more DVD's, then after about a week, it started to display the ERROR signal that another reviewer mentioned.  That never went away.  It also said signal not detected. So it was detecting neither the camera, the cable box, the tv nor it's own built in VHS tape input. <br />   When it worked, I could record on DVD-RW but those would not play in any other medium.  The DVD-R seemed to work well (following the manufacturer's suggested brands) but some failed which was a big waste of time and DVDs.  Perhaps every third one failed.  I returned this unit after about a month because it just didn't work anymore.  May be mine was just a lemon but, what a disappointment.
