Sylvania DVR90DE Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder
good but not great
I've owned the sylvania DVR90DE for about 10 months.  It was incredibly easy to set up and use.  I have never had a problem recording TV programs and it works great for making DVD copies of my VHS tapes.  I do find that the picture quality gets pretty suspect if I record at more than 6 hours per disc.  I mostly use DVD-RW media and I prefer to record at 4 hours.   <br />I would give this recorder 4-5 stars except for the fact that it doesn't work on DVD-Rs rated above 4X and DVD-RWs above 2X.  That means it won't record or even play a DVD that is rated above 4X, even if its recorded at 4X.  I would not have bought this unit if I had known this in advance.  Having said that, it hasn't been too big of a problem yet as i am able to get 1-4X DVD-Rs.  However, these DVDs are getting harder to find; I have to order online as I can't buy them in stores anymore.  Also, if I was to try to play a DVD-R that someone else recorded, it most likely won't work as most people are using the higher speed DVD-Rs.
