Lite-On LVC-9006 Progressive-Scan DVD Recorder/VCR Combo
Excellent choice for the money!!
I just recieved this unit and am very pleased with the purchase.  I've recorded 5 DVD's already and had no problems whatsoever.  I used regular TDK+R discs and after finalizing them, they played in all of my other DVD players including my portable made by Initial.  After pressing stop on recording, unit does take a few seconds to actually stop playing.   <br />The only problems I have with the unit is that it is a bit bulky and heavy and the menu's can be a bit confusing, but once you get the hang of them, they are OK.   <br />Also the remote needs to be pointed DIRECTLY at the unit.  If it's pointed in any other direction, even slightly, it doesn't work.  Also, the VCR, which tapes great is a bit slow and is missing a few things normal VCR's have.  Such as timer recording for Mon-Fri.  It only has weekly, daily or one time only feature.  Also, the navigation for the VCR, to reset the counter etc. only works when the tape is playing.  The menu does not show if the tape is just off.   <br />Most of the problems I have are just as far as the basics goes the few things that make like a bit easier.  Quality wise everything is excellent, audio and video and DVD recording (even at 6hrs)is superb and comparable to more expensive models.  If your looking to convert your VHS collection this is a very good unit to buy.
