JVC DRMV1S Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder and VCR Combo , Silver
Way too complicated
I received this item as a gift last month.  Before I opened it, I came here to read the reviews.  Although most people were unhappy, I figured I'd try it out anyway, since there was an extended return policy in place for the holidays. <br /> <br />I wanted to record my precious VHS tapes to DVD but I needed to try it first on unimportant material.  After a long time of trying to figure which button to use to program the unit, I successfully recorded a DVD.  I did not get the \\"LOADING\\" message so many people described except for the first few seconds when it really was loading.   <br /> <br />It looks really sharp with my big new wide-screen HDTV but the instructions are so complicated for every process and the warnings here prompted me to return it.   <br /> <br />I'm going to wait six months or so, until the technology is more advanced and less confusing and the price drops somewhat.
