Go Video R6540 DVD Recorder
Do your homework - compatibility issues
I don't actually own this particular model but I do own a GoVideo R6740 DVD recorder. Here's the major thing potential customers interested in getting their first DVD recorder should be aware of (I bought one not knowing the following):  the GoVideo units (as well as other lower-cost brands) only record on DVD+R/RW media, as opposed to DVD-R (notice the dash instead of the plus symbol). The DVD+R media will NOT play on any other machine besides the unit it was recorded on, even when finalized. However, the DVD+RW's (rewritables) will play on other machines but the unit is quite fussy about the brand of media you use, as I've had some problems with recording DVD+RW's giving me the \\"Write Fail\\" error message. The DVD-R/RW media is much more compatible with other players, so be forewarned.  Otherwise, it's a fairly decent unit as a DVD player and as a recorder if you can live with the limitations I've mentioned.
