I have been tremendousely satisfied with this dvd recorder as it is so user friendly to opperate and I have had much pleasure in the features that this product provides. I purchased this machine just over four years ago with the intention of recording Biblical sermons and then burning them to disc for my library. Once a program has been captured you can then edit, rename, divide and delete unwanted sections. Once that has been done then burning the progam to disc is so easy with 4 different quality burns available in order to burn up to six hours or six hourly programs. What I hate about this product is that it has now started giving problems after all those years of pleasure. The writer/reader laser beam does not read all the different formats anymore and the cost of replacing it is half the price of a new machine. I will deffinitely purchase the same or equivelant machine.
