Akai DVDRW120 Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder
So Far, So Good
Just recieved this unit a few days ago and have transferred some of my recorded VHS tapes (movies) to DVD+R discs with no problem. Had to read the instructions over several times and finally got it all figured out and it was off to the races. Bought a 10 pack of Maxell DVD+Rs and the results are fantastic at SP speed. However, dvds will not play on my current dvd player, not the fault of the unit, will have to get a newer player that plays DVD+R and DVD+RW dvds, I see several players listed at Amazon that will play them in today's world, so that will solve that minor problem. This is all I have done so far with the unit and it was the main purpose of me buying it... it was a good price, good brand name and I wanted my tapes transferred to a more permanent storage medium as quick as possible. It makes chapter marks at any time you want.... I have chapters every 10 minutes, thinking of changing it to 6 minutes. I want to get a few blank DVD+RWs to test some tapes first before using a permanent +R blank. I have no complaints yet... I hope it's around working years from now, it's all I will need .... will hook it up to cable to use as a digital VCR with the +RWs, but my priority now is to get my tapes onto +Rs first.
