GoVideo R6530 Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder
Caught by surprise
Wow!!! I should have read these reviews before buying mine!  I echo pretty much everything everybody has stated already.  The only reason I went with GoVideo was because I had already purchased and was using a home theater DVD/VCR combo unit that has performed perfectly since day one (I have had it over a year now). I figured they were a good (not great) quality brand at a bargain price, so I got the DVD recorder.  I don't know how a company that makes one thing so great can make something else so lousy.  The problems I encountered were:  DVD R's not being recognized, drawers sticking closed, slow reading and response times, not recording on the pre-set record date and time, etc, etc, etc.  I guess I will read more reviews before my next purchase!
