Gateway AR230 Progressive-Scan DVD Player / Recorder
Good performance for a good price
I bought my recorder in September 2004, and I have had no issues with it - it works great both in playback and recording modes, it is pretty simple to use, and has had no mechanical or firmware problems. The only two minor nuissances that I have noticed are the basic manual and the lack of closed captioning/subtitling in most modes. Other than that, this recorder is a good value for the money - and the cheapest that I have found out there!
