Lite-On AllWrite LVW-5005 DVD/CD Recorder
LVW-5005
5/26/05 I have owned this machine for about a week now. <br />Most of the other reviews I have read here I would agree with. <br />The main gripes on my list are the noise the machine makes (just don't sit to close), and the limited recording time slots. There are only 5 recording slots to use when recording your favorite tv shows. Also there is no way to tell the machine that you want to record a program just m-f and not sat and sun without using up all 5 time slots. My vcr had at least 8 recording time slots and the ability to easily tell the machine which days were to be recorded. The price I paid was similar to the current sale price offered here. Also note that if you record shows back to back, that the machine needs atleast 10-15 seconds to wrap up a recording before the next recording can begin. So if I want to record a tv show at 6:30-7:00 and then 7:00-7:30, I set the first recording to end at 6:59 to give the machine time to close out the first recording and set up for the next recording.
