Magnavox MRV640

I bought this unit on october 2007 and a week ago (december 2008) it stopped working saying "no disc" and it does not matter which kind of disc I use. Tried cleaning the lens, nothing. I have to shake it and bump it so it barely reads it and then it...

This seems to be one of the older DVD recorders, when the kinks were still getting worked out. They're much cheaper now and hopefully better, because if they're still made like this, I have no idea why anyone would buy them. I've had it for over 2...

I even bought this as a refurbished item here at Amazon and have had no problems. The only issue I've found has been that I usually use DVD-RWs or DVD-Rs per my video recorder, but forgot that this only uses DVD+Rs.....etc. I purchased this for less...

Read the other reviews and take them to heart. This unit is a boatanchor. It played fine until it completely quit, giving the "blocked" message that seems to be a running issue, and that was all she wrote. As for recording, there were several times...

I have always had a high opinion of Magnavox products - but this one is a lemon. Highly recommend you find another machine. Mine just concluded it's warranty for parts - and is a very large paperweight. Every once in a while a glitch would happen, and...

Heads up. I too, agree with many posters here, this machine is very flakey. Too bad, the features are great for the price. Bought it from best buy in 2005 aug. Out of 20 dvd's I recorded, 2 hung up and wouldn't finalize. During a timer recording, on...

I just recieved my DVD recorder and after experiencing some initial set up problems (my own)......you need to go through the channel search even if you have a satelite or cable source...... I tested the recording mode, playback mode and timed recording...

Remember when the cheap stuff was made in Japan and everyone would laugh at that label? Now apparently it is the "made in China" label that is the curse. This is a very basic recorder that works a little when it feels like it, as you can see below. The...
