Pros

P over hdmi looks fantastic on my sharp lc-52d92u 52 lcd. No problem there. High quality compression looks very nice. Video is sharp and clear. Great value for the money. Great for hd and hd.

Easy to dub old vhs tapes the dvd with the push of a single button. Works perfectly, excellent video and with name brand dl-dvd's records excellent quality from directv hr-21. I have yet to try to burn a dvd from my camcorder, but i think it will be j... Read More

As far as smoothness and silence mechanically it;s nice. The only irritating drawback is that the machine is noisy. I am definitely glad i decided on the combo unit as it allowed me to get rid of a remote control and a component (my old vcr) from my h... Read More

This process is flawless and simple. Very easy to setup and operate. Has alot of features and is easy to use and setup.

Normally i blip ads by just fast-forwarding through them while the samsung continues to record, but you can stop/restart the recording at each juncture to eliminate the ads. One touch operation makes it very easy to record shows from cable tv using th... Read More

Price

Again a good deal if you get the right price.

This is perfect for performance and price.

Shipping

But alas, when i went to cancel it (i found it elsewhere for less, and delivery was expected with 4-5 days), amazon reported it... Read More

It often freezes when you fast forward to the end of the disk.

Competitiveness

I bought a refurb for a very good price here on amazon.

It works, the remote works--and it's clear to me--and i don't get coasters.

) wipe the lens with a q-tip soaked in alcohol- denatured is best for this.

So i order the unit from amazon because it's a fairly good price; after a week though, i get another email saying it's delayed ... Read More
