GoVideo VR4940 Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder with VCR
Crap is more valuable than this piece of _____!!!!!!
I have had 6...  count 'em...  6 of these units.  All were defective...  and all in multiple ways.  Most had some of the same problems, but some were excentric and barely worked at all.  GoVideo customer service is a joke and the combined IQ of everyone there wouldn't be high enough to post a score on standardized test. <br /> <br />I spent approx, 30 hours on the phone with tech support with my 6 units.  They frequently told me that features described in the manual did not work, \\"but we have a work around!\\"  Well, isn't that lovely!  I love buying a $500 piece of equipment that out of the box is defective.   <br /> <br />I could go on and on and list the problems with these machines.  But let me simplIfy it for you.  At some point in using it, absolutely NOTHING actually works on this machine.  For those of you who think you have succesful recordings...  I can guarantee if you have tried to record anything of length (like 30 mins or more) your 'great looking' video will break up or stop playing or pixelize or just freeze whatver dvd player you are using.   <br /> <br />I can not stress what a terrible machine this is.  Again...  units that work DON'T WORK.  You may have to really experiment to find the flaws, but you will.  I have experimented with many of the dvd recorders out there (I work in the film industry.) and the pioneers and toshibas work perfectly.   <br /> <br />AVOID THIS AT ALL COST!!!!!!!!!!!! <br /> <br />DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!! <br /> <br />DO NOT EVEN SIT NEAR ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
