TruTech&#174; DVD Player&#47;Recorder with DV Input &#45; Silver &#40;TT1620&#41;
Bang for the buck!
I purchased this yesterday and have it plugged in and recording this morning.  The quality appears to be top notch.  I have a previously purchased DVD recorder (probably 1st or 2nd generation of recorders) and compared it to the older more expensive model.  It is comparable in ease, effectiveness and quality.  The Ease of recording has come along way as other reviewers have stated.  My problem came into play when I was hooking up multiple devices.  The directions are not clear when you hook up a VCR to the device.  I would rather use my VCR as the tuner device.  However, the way that it is hooked, I have to use the DVD recorder as the tuner if I don't have a cable box (I won't spend the monthly fee for the box through the cable company).  For this reason alone, I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.  The previous reviewer stated that it took 10 min. or so to hook up.  It took me closer to 2 hours as I was attempting to do a hook up that was not in the directions.  All in all, 4 out of 5 stars.
