Great product to transfer videos and record off Tivo

by miskate4 , Jul 20, 2008
Pros: Saves $$$$ if you are considering paying a service to dub home movies
Cons: A little time consuming to set up and figure out (what electronic doesn't?)
The Bottom Line: Great product that is easy to use once you figure it out initially. Good product that allows lots of recording options (VHS-DVD dub, record from TV/camcorder/TIVO)
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: I purchased this DVD/VHS combo recorder in May 2008 in order to transfer my home videos from VHS to DVD. I didn't realize that there were recorders out there to accomplish this. I almost went to a business and paid $20 per DVD/home video transfer!...

I'm Very Disappointed

by kandtj-2 , Sep 16, 2008
Pros: Setup is easy and the last model played well.
Cons: Can't use both sides at once to watch while recording. No display on VHS recording.
The Bottom Line: I would have liked to have seen a few more reviews before purchase.
Would not buy again. If you want to record and watch I would avoid it.
This reviewer does not recommend this product.
Review: I bought this model to replace the previous LG DVD/VHS recorder that, after 5 months, wouldn't read, play, FF or rewind DVDs properly without freezing up.
After one week the new model (RC897T) started to shut down timer recordings from regular...

Cons: Changing channels slow, no remote channel recall, sound control, turn off needed to diskwrite instructions.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: I have an older TV with a set-top DTV tuner. I wanted to upgrade to a DVD recorder from my VCR. After reading reviews, I settled on the Toshiba DR570 with a built-in DTV tuner. (replaces DR560) There were some consistent negatives, mainly relating...
