Cyberhome CH-DVR1600 DVD Recorder
Good at first, wait till you have it six months.....
I thought this product was awesome when I first bought it too. Little by little I have had problems finalizing disks. Now, six months after I have had the recorder, it wont finalize anything, even though it goes through the steps and gets to 100%. Then suddenly the dvd becomes an \\"unknown disc\\" and you just have to throw it into the trash. I thought this might have been a firmware problem, so I updated that (and I had problems getting the dvd player to recognized those dvds which they finally did after about 12 times, each, but it still won't finalize and makes every recording unreadable. I am at my wits ends - I bought this too for moving my vhs tapes to dvds, and I will soon be moving to an \\"isolated\\" area and was trying to build up my stock of dvds. Was it worth the $100 I paid? Maybe overall, since I probably got at least $100 worth of dvds, but I was expecting the unit to last longer than 6 months, and I have only probably made about 20 dvds total, so it isn't like I am mass-producing. Think long and hard before buying this.
