Rating: Summary: the WORST Review: I have 4 DVD recorders.I have 3 Panasonics (great machines) & wanted a 4th but because of the IR remote I was limited to 3.So I needed another brand and SHARP had a good price (it seemed, incorrectly)so I got the SHARP.It is an amazing BAD machine.It doesn't work correctly and getting it fixed is a nightmare. I just sent it back for the second time,it returned today and they fixed NOTHING.It is a true Nightmare,STAY AWAY!!!
Rating: Summary: Home video makers dream Review: Makes perfect DVD copies of home movies recorded on VHS or 8mm. Includes a firewire port for making perfect copies of mini DV camcorders. I only record in the Fine mode yielding about 1 hr per 4.7 GB DVD-R. Also records to DVD-RW if you want to reuse the disc over and over. DVD-R seems to be the most backward-compatible format if you wish to share those home movies with friends. Manual is very informative, but these machines are fairly complicated compared to VCRs. Excellent value!
