JVC DR-MX1S DVD Player/Recorder, Hi-Fi VCR, and Hard Disk Recorder
Does Much and is attractive.
I agree with the other reviewer regarding the documentation/manual.  Having purchased JVC in the past, I knew I would have to dedicate an hour to learn the unit because of the poor manual.  Once that is done, the recorder itself is fabulously versatile and easy to use. The menus are accessed from the remote quite simply and are easy to follow.  Remember, this is more than just a VCR, or just a DVD player or just an HDD.  It incorporates MANY units.  You can expect it to be a little more challenging to learn.  Sure, for the money I wish they provided more cables/etc.  The front panel does not have any functional purpose but I like the streamlined look of the unit especially since these multi units have a lot going on on their faces.  Overall, I would recommend this unit. I have only owned it a few days so I can't speak to reliability.
