CyberHome CH-DVR 1500 Progressive-Scan DVD+R/+RW Recorder and Player , Silver
Useless recorder makes disc that can't be viewed elsewhere!
I bought this player in order to convert my VHS-C tapes to DVD in order to more easily share them and preserve the quality, and recommend that if you are looking to do the same to keep on looking right past this unit. I bought this because it was very cheaply priced and looked to have the same features as more expensive units but there was definitely a difference. I took it home and hooked up the unit and got started recording my first movie. The recording controls and editing are easy to do, but then comes the problem.  After you take the time to put in chapters and set the discs up nicely the chapters will not show on any other DVD player in existence from what I can tell.  The discs do play this is not a matter of my players being incompatible with DVDR+ media by the way.  I tried the disc in 7 different DVD players (all DVDR+ compatible) at my home and friends and none of them would skip from chapter to chapter or fast forward discs made with this recorder. When you try to skip to a chapter or fast forward you are taken back to the main menu of the disc every time unless you play them in this player where they actually work.  I took this piece of junk back to the store the day after I bought it and got a Magnavox recorder for around one hundred dollars more that records perfectly and the chapters work just like you put them onto the discs.  Even on the new recorder I purchased the chapters burned on by this Cyberhome player do not show up.  My recommendation is that if you plan on playing you're recorded DVDs on any player other than this one to keep on looking for another unit because it doesn't do the job.<br />Update - In reply to the genius above who said \\"Note to an earlier reviewer who said his scenes and edits didn't work on other DVD players: Read the ******* manual. You have to perform a \\"Make Compatible\\" step on DVD+RWs (the equivalent for DVD+Rs is called \\"Finalize\\")\\"  <br />I used Dvd+R disc and they WERE FINALIZED it's not brain surgery here I readthe *** manual, my review is talking about finalized discs the chapters do not show on any other players.  I also tried DVD+RW's and the same problem still happened it's a useless recorder.
