GoVideo R6640 DVD Recorder and Player
what a piece of ....
First of all, I have the GoVideo Dual Deck VCR player which I got about 5 years ago and that works excelently, so when it came time to upgrade my DVD player, I thought... <br />\\"why not GoVideo\\"? <br /> <br />I\\"ll tell you why not... <br /> <br />Their DVD player/recorder is a piece of CRAP. Let's start with that. <br /> <br />I wanted a DVD player that could also record. <br /> <br />While this one did just that, it seemed to have a mind of it's own. <br /> <br />I'd only owned the damned thing for 2 months when it started acting up. <br /> <br />e.g. When you insert a DVD disc, what do you expect?  <br /> <br />For the TV screen to show the DVD main menu, right? <br /> <br />And when it is on the main menu, and the \\"PLAY\\" option is highlighted, meaning, if you press \\"play\\" or \\"OK\\" on the remote it should play the movie, right? <br /> <br />WRONG! <br /> <br />If you press \\"OK\\", it doesn't work. <br /> <br />what happens, a blue blank screen appears on the TV screen. <br /> <br />You have to press \\"play\\" only, apparently. <br /> <br />And that was only after a couple months. <br /> <br />And now it's been 9 months and my DVD player/recorder - which by the way, cost me about $170 - is not working.  <br /> <br />No \\"main menu\\", NOTHING! <br /> <br />Hell, my homie has a regular $45 DVD player that he's had longer than me (and not from GoVideo)  and the darn thing is still working! <br /> <br />As far as I'm concerned, this is the last product I'll ever buy from GoVideo!!!! <br /> <br />I wish there was a less than 1 rating!
