Lite-On LVW5001 DVD Plus Player/Recorder
If it would only continue to work
I purchased this unit in June 2004 for Father's Day. I loved it. We burned over 200 DVDs with only a few problems. Then after 6 months of use we started noticing a few problems here and there. First it would skip in playback mode, then it not allow me to finalize the DVD, then it recorded the video just fine and dropped the audio.  <br /> <br />After 8 months of use, I selected \\"open\\" to eject the disk, out came the disk along with a smaller white foam/rubber disk. It was the piece that helps to hold down the DVD while reading and recording (I assume). I took it back to the store (had the extended warranty)and they gave me a new one to replace it. It was DOA right out of the box (\\"Fail\\" came up on the LED screen).  <br />I've definitely lost my confidence in Lite-On. Too bad, it was a great unit while it worked.
