Lite-On AllWrite LVW-5005 DVD/CD Recorder
It's ok for day to day recording,
but if you want a quality recording to put in your media library, save your money for another machine. <br /> <br />Like another reviewer, I found the audio synchronization to be off.   While I use this to record shows for my kids, it is annoying for me to see the voice not matching the mouth movements! (No complaints from them - yet!) <br /> <br />I also do not like the timer feature on this unit.  While you can set it to record easily, they do not give you a \\"weekday\\" option.  So, if you're like me and recording shows that only are on Monday thru Friday, you have to go and delete the weekend recordings or remember to set them so that they could be overwritten. <br /> <br />When using DVD-R discs, I noticed it's important to allow the machine to \\"prepare\\" the disc before shutting it off for timed recordings.  If not, you get an error message.  I don't seem to have this problem with DVD+R. <br /> <br />We had to use a RF modulator to connect this to our TV, as the TV didn't have the inputs needed.  We had problems at first, but they were resolved when we put the cable directly into the recorder, then from there to the modulator.  Going cable to modulator to recorder kept us from recording. <br /> <br />We bought ours at Costco, so we didn't need an extended service warranty. <br /> <br />Hope this helps someone.
