Sylvania DVR90VE DVD Player/Recorder and Hi-Fi VCR Combo
BEWARE - the discs this machine uses are hard to find!
I ordered this DVD recorder/VCR from Amazon recently. I took note of the reviews warning that the machine is very fussy about which types of DVD-Rs it will record to. Apparently, it only records to 4x speed DVD-Rs (and only certain brands). Well, after spending the day searching all over town for specific brands of 4x DVD-Rs, I came home and cancelled my order with Amazon. The 4x DVD-Rs are being phased out. The manufacturers are now making either 8x speed or something called \\"downward compatible 1x-8x\\" speed. Apparently neither of these two types work with this recorder. Anyone who buys this machine should be warned of this limitation.  <br /> <br />If you think you want to purchase this DVD recorder, make sure you can get a big supply of 4x speed DVD-Rs before they all disappear. Read the rest of the reviews here to find out which brands of 4x DVD-Rs work. <br /> <br />Of what use is a DVD recorder if you can't find discs to record on?
