Lite-On LVW5001 DVD Plus Player/Recorder
Lite-on LVW-5001
I have bought this recorder from NewEgg.com for $286.00 with free shipping! let me tell you I have researched DVD Recorders for some time now and was going to make the mistake of buying a &quot;BIG NAME&quot; brand, glad I didn't! this recorder is easy to setup and use. Recording quality from cable actually was visibly better as mentioned in other reviews. As far as other reviews that say remote is week - I can be 20' away and it works flawlessly and the guy with the s-video problem - you need to enable that connection in the menu (probably someone that doesn't read manuals). the key selling point is you can upgrade the firmware yourself instead of sending the unit in to the company,costing you $$ unlike the pioneer 310 that I was going to buy, has a date problem with the recorder..no way was I going to buy a recorder that I would possibly have to send back to them to fix before I could use it! why does the BIG NAME companies make you send your product to them? how come they can't incorporate firmware updates for there products? also when in search for DVD recorders I noticed that the Popular ones in stores and online had alot of OPEN BOX RETURN SPECIALS makes you wonder why doesn't it? if you want a recorder with the same features and don't need a hard drive this is the one!Bottom Line LITE-ON ROCKS!!!! Don't waste your hard earned money Paying for a &quot;NAME&quot;
