Pioneer DVR-RT300-S DVD Recorder and VCR Combo
Worst electronics product I have ever owned
This item has been nothing but trouble.  The operation is overly complex.  To use the recorder you must constantly refer to the manual.  The manual is poorly written, if you follow the manual's procedure for VCR timer recording it will not work, as they left out a critical extra step.   <br /> <br />I am in the process of boxing it up to send back to Pioneer after 7 months.  One reason is that has never been able to dub from tape to DVD.  The second reason is that it died earlier this weak.  The video output is pure static in both DVD and VCR modes.
