(More customer reviews)Before purchasing this item, ask yourself what you plan to use it for. If you want to use it like a VCR and time record a movie that comes on say, HBO, at 3:00 in the morning so you can watch it later, forget it, it WILL NOT RECORD COPY-PROTECTED MOVIES no matter what median they are on, Satellite, Cable whatever which is very disappointing as that is what 90% of the people used their VCR's for. The reason I bought this unit was to replace my VCR but can't do it, still have the old tape box sitting their. Another disappointing thing is erasing sections of say a sitcom if you want to get rid of the commercials. You can use the slow-search on the remote to find the start of the commercial, then pause it and hit the enter key to set the start of the commercial you want to erase but you can't do that at the end. In other words, you can't pause the unit at the end of the commercial and hit enter to mark the section you want to erase but you have to try and hit the enter key at the end of the commercial on the fly, very inconvient. The remote is awkward to use as the record and several other buttons are hid at the end of the remote and you have to slide down a door to access them which leaves you with a remote that seems about 14 inches long. While there are several features I haven't formed an opinion on yet, the one good thing I see is the abundance of recording options as far as time goes; you can set it to record in increments of 1, 1-1/2, 2, 2-1/2, 3, 4, 6 & 8 hours plus it will record dual-layer disks. Bottom line, if your looking for a DVD Recorder to replace your VCR, this most likely isn't the unit.
