CyberHome CH-DVR 1500 Progressive-Scan DVD+R/+RW Recorder and Player , Silver
Finalize function doesn't work
I now have a 3rd CyberHome CH-DVR 1500.  The first one the stanby power switch went dead after a small static spark from my finger zapped it.  It also errored about every 10th +R disk to make a coaster.  The finalized function did work, but I only used it on 3 +R disks and exchanged it hoping to get a better one.  On the disks that the finalize worked, they played perfectly in a cheap Apex player.  With the second CyberHome CH-DVR 1500 the finalized function didn't work at all.  It messed up the title page and the +R disk could still be edited after using the finalize, which isn't suppose to be possible.  These disks couldn't be played on the same Apex player.  I exchanged it for a 3rd CyberHome CH-DVR 1500, but this one does the same thing and won't finalize +R disks.  The media is not the problem, because the first CyberHome CH-DVR 1500 finalized 3 +R disks.<br />I haven't tried getting support, but all they can recommend is exchanging it til I get a good one, pretty frustrating.   Quality of recording and ease of operation are great , but there are definitely some bad apples out there and I'd really like to get one that would finalize +R disks again.  I've got 30 recorded +R disks and only 3 are finalized, so I'm stuck using the CyberHome CH-DVR 1500 to play back all but the 3.  I'd like to switch to a different recorder, but I doubt I can finalize the 27 recorded +R disks with another recorder.  <br />If you know that +R disks recorded from the CyberHome CH-DVR 1500 can be finalized on a different recorder, please email me at mistys@generic-isp.com  Thanks.
