Comments:
Unit required a firmware upgrade before it would recognize 8X blank DVD-R discs. It came with one 4X DVD-R which are hard to find these days.

I emailed Customer Service at Funai Corporation and feel that it was a pleasant experience overall. They asked me for my model and serial number and explained how to find the version of firmware installed. They then sent me a firmware upgrade with instructions on how to upgrade. The disc arrived by mail in a few days.

I did not expect to be required to upgrade a brand new DVR and I am disappointed that I had to do anything. Even after the upgrade it will not recognize DVD-RWs above 2X and they are very hard to find.

The Owner's Manual is very difficult to understand and could be better written. I downloaded the manual from Funai in .pdf format and, with the SEARCH feature in Adobe Reader, I could navigate it much easier.

Dubbing from VHS-to-DVD is a one button command (only from the front panel) and I commend the unit for that feature. However, there are several set-up features to be programmed in before you can use Dubbing.

If I had done my homework before hand, I would not have bought this unit.

OK I received the upgrade disc today which notes on disc: Software Update for 8x Version: R15*****R1.5

To get into Firmware update screen:

Have no dvd in machine.
Power on machine
Press dvd on remote (to put unit in dvd mode)
Push on remote CM Skip, then 6 5 4
Put disc in and close tray
Upgrade takes about 2 min.
When it ejects disc remove it
Power off unit (tray stays open for a few moments
Wait around 30 sec and power up.

Thats it.

I just tried Verbatim DVD-R Datalife up to 8x discs and it recorded fine (even though they said use Fuji or Imation) The reason I did this is because I had bought these before I knew about what brand they recommended, anyway it looks like they work fine.

I talked to Sylvania/Funai today and they recommend: Fuji and Imation DVD's (4x -R and 2x -RW).

I was further told that they will send me a firmware upgrade disc so that I can use up to 8x -R and 4x -RW's.

The way to check your firmware is to have no disc or vhs in the machine, press DVD on the remote, press CM skip, then press 1 2 3

I will report back after the F/W upgrade.

I have had this unit for a few days and can not get it to record on either -R or -RW.

The -R I tried was Verbatim 8x (I did not see previous comments on only using 4x until now) and the -RW I tried were Sony.

Any help on media brand and speed would be appreciated!!
