I bought this DVD recorder/VCR combo in December 2004 at Best Buy and have recorded literally hundreds of DVD-R's over the past 2 and a half years. Overall, I'm quite satisfied with it, but it does have two important shortcomings:
1) AFAIK there are no region-free hacks available for this unit, so you will have to buy a separate (and different model/brand) unit that does have region-free capability in order to watch non-Region 0/1 DVD's.
2) This model uses 4X DVD-R/RW's, which, as other commenters have noted, is getting to be a real problem since most stores don't stock 4X's any more. Fortunately, a couple of vendors at computer swap meets/shows in my area still sell Princo 4X's, so I make sure to buy a new 50-disc spindle every time I go. I currently have something like 350 blanks hoarded which should keep me going for a good while yet. :)
Be aware that this unit does have Macrovision enabled, so in order to back up your VHS tapes and such, you will need (1) to use a separate VCR and (2) to get something like one of the devices Sima sells, which remove defects in the video picture (including Macrovision, which often causes problems with picture quality). |

Had this unit awhile. Now it IS hard to find media to record. I was using Ritek 1-4x, but can't get it anymore. I foolishly bought 3 different types of DVD-R 8x, and it will not recognize the disc.
Unit is kinda slow to respond. I'm ready to upgrade if I can't find cheap DVD-R's anymore. |

| My Grandparents have this and it's been causing lots of frustration. I don't think they sell compatible media in retail stores anymore. Samsung DigitAll 1x worked perfectly for about a year, then Meritline stopped selling them. I'm currently on a mad hunt for more media. |

| Will not record on all brands of DVD-R's. So far we've found only Verbatim 4X is compatible. Maxell 8X and Memorex 8X are not. |
