Magnavox MRV640 DVD Recorder
Piece of ........
I purchased this thing for $150 at Best Buy and brought it home, thinking I got a great deal. How wrong I was. It worked fine for about 30 minutes until I tried to play a second disc. The display said \\"blocked\\" and then cycled between \\"opening/closing/blocked\\" on the display. This happened without the drawer ever opening up. I gave up and took it back to the store the next day and exchanged it. I used this new one for about two weeks with only one issue. It didn't like my second disc of Dave Chapelle's second DVD set. It would lock up while playing and skip like a scratched record. Overall it recorded great. I loved the DVD edit features and the menu ability was pretty cool. BUT - Once again the drawer became \\"stuck\\". I put in a blank disk today and the display said \\"reading\\",\\"disc error\\" and then back to \\"blocked/opening/closing\\". All without ever actually opening the drawer. I'm done with this thing. Apparently you can't get a good quality DVD recorder for a good price. It goes back to Best Buy tomorrow.
