Sylvania DVR90VE DVD Player/Recorder and Hi-Fi VCR Combo
A Good Performer for The Price
I bought this to make copy of old family video in VHS and Hi8 formats. I am very happy with the results and like to recommend to people who are in the market for DVD recorder. <br /> <br />Great <br />- Intuitive once master the basic concepts  <br />- RCA amd S-Video connectiors are available in the back panel as well as backpanel  <br />- Progressive scan produces excellent quality even in SP mode (on level below the best) <br />- Comprehensive feature sets - just look at the user manual <br />- DVD-R format allows play on most DVD players <br />- Can be used to record TV programs saved on DVR <br /> <br />Not so great <br />- The remote control is very busy and not intuitive -  intimidating for beginners <br />- Does not record on 8X disc - only 4X only <br />- Start dropping images when buffer memory is filled during long recording sessions (> 2 hours in my experience) - 10% of my recording has to be repeated  <br /> <br />Generally speaking, it is a great product for the money and I look forward to a double layer version in the near future.
