iLO DVDR05 Personal DVD Recorder
It worked great for several months. Now, not so much.
I had an iLO DVD DVDR04 recorder that stopped recording past the warranty period. While walking through WalMart, we realized it would be nice to have one that worked and figured that surely the bugs would be worked out by now, so we bought a DVDR05/MU1, manufactured in September, 2005. It worked well for several months and, last month, I put a regular movie DVD in it and it would spin up for 30 seconds or so and display \\"no disc.\\" Hmmph. Must be bad. I wanted to record a TV show and placed a blank DVD+R disc in it to record. Spun up, had a bar graph go from left to right and as it was supposed to finish formatting, it said, \\"bad disc.\\" After six different \\"bad disc\\" readings, I got the message. It no longer recorded, formatted or played. I unplugged the device and tried to reset it and nothing. Consistently would not play, format or record. <br /> <br />I will no longer buy an iLO product.
