Lite-On AllWrite LVW-5005 DVD/CD Recorder
freezes up when recording
I tried two LVW 5005's with the same results:  sometimes, at random, while recording a DVD, the unit freezes up when I push the \\"STOP\\" button.  When this happens, I have to turn the unit off.  This destroys the chapter I was last recording, but that space on the disk is gone.   <br /> <br />Also, the unit developed a problem with simply playing a commercial DVD.   <br /> <br />I contacted technical support and upgraded the \\"firmware\\" successfully with no change.  I will now return the second one to the store. <br /> <br />When reading an online review of anything, be very sensitive to \\"commercials\\".  At least one of the reviews of this product looks to me like it was planted by the company.
