Magnavox MRV640 DVD Recorder
I have to disagree.............never hung up on me....
I even bought this as a refurbished item here at Amazon and have had no problems.  The only issue I've found has been that I usually use DVD-RWs or DVD-Rs per my video recorder, but forgot that this only uses DVD+Rs.....etc. <br /> <br /> <br />I purchased this for less than 1/2 the original price and have no regrets.  I must admit that I purchase too many electronics and stay away from brands such as Emerson and Coby..............but stick with Magnavox and Sanyo..........etc.  You get what you pay for. <br /> <br />I can't relate to the \\"hung-up\\" problem of other buyers, but will vouch that I've had this refurbished recorder for over a year and have had no problems whatsoever.  I often record onto VHS and mostly used this component to transfer it onto DVD.  Worked well..........took some time to get used to..........but always did the trick for me.   <br /> <br />I only hope it works as well for the next buyer..............
