Everything I wanted in a DVD recorder

I purchased my DVD recorder in early 2004 from Best Buy. It was in-stock when I went for it and got it for about $340. I like gadgets but am not highly proficient with electronics. Therefore, one of my criteria for my very first DVD players was ...

Very simple to operate ; outstanding picture quality at 1 and 2 hours ; good value

so far so good

I burn't about 100 DVDS so far and it it is holding up well. Samsung its self is like most companies with support, it depends who you talk to on any given day. Sometimes great and others not so great.

Okay machine, seriously poor service

I saved up my money to get a decent DVD Recorder. I found mine at one of those membership type stores. I was thrilled. I have a huge project to do and the dvd recorded is integral ! I really loved the machine!I burned a grand total of 5 dvds. Within ...

Nice machine, but it only worked for a week.

POOR SUPPORT/Service. Try to get a refund at the store first!
