Magnavox MRV640 DVD Recorder
Nothing fancy.  However a fair DVD+R, +RW Recorder.
Magnavox MRV640 DVD Recorder <br /> <br />There are pros and cons about the Magnavox MRV640 DVD Recorder.  However for me, I've not experienced any problems with it while playing DVD's, CD's, and recording DVD+R,+RW's.  I like that you have a choice of up to 8 hours recording (depending on what discs you use), I've had no problems using the audio and video inputs and outputs.  I've been able to hook up the Magnavox MRV640 DVD Recorder to my Panasonic VCR with ease to make back-up copies of my beloved, wearing VHS's. <br /> <br />The cons of the recorder are it's manual, remote control, and the color of its interface.  The manual is black and white with few photos.  It has in it what you need to learn how to use the Recorder however it's not excellent.  There's a lot to read.  The remote control is easy to use once you get a hang of it.  There are buttons that do more than one task, which the manual also fails to point out.  Last is the Magnavox picture interface that appears on you television screen.  The con about this is the colors are blue on blue, which can make it a tad bit difficult viewing the menus, as there's not much contrast.  Also the font on the screen is small.  <br /> <br />The pros of the Magnavox MRV650 DVD Recorder are that it's a good price for the features it includes, such as progressive scan, up to eight hours recording time, Front-panel inputs.  It burns DVD's and finalizes them quickly.  It doesn't take long at all to turn it on.  It begins recording almost instantly.  Also it's not a hassle to set up physically.  You can record from television your favorite shows.  I've called Magnavox's customer care phone number several times and they were helpful.  It's not fancy, if I were wanting fancy I would not choose this.  However over all I'd say this is an Ok DVD Recorder.  I'm happy with it.
