Good enough for the price for playing DVDs

Easy to operate in play mode, light weight

can't get record function to work

Don't Lose Your Remote Control When Purchasing This DVDR!

The machine is sturdy and reliable, performs well when subjected to heavy use.

The remote control cannot be replaced with a universal remote control off the shelf.

Affordable DVD recorder for the home entertainment system

In mid-2005 I was in the market for a DVD recorder. Unfortunately a lot of the models at that time were priced WAY out of my league. More importantly, though, I required a model that offered a an IEEE 1394 (aka FireWire or iLink) connection so that I ...

Very easy to use, no-hassle recording and playback of DVDs

The remote control can be confusing at times, but clearly labeled.

Not bad for my First Time

This is my first DVD recorder, so I have nothing to compare it to. I was looking for another DVD player for another room but didn't want to spend a lot. I looked on the net for some and found Wal-Mart had a good looking one. I thought I would drop in...

Picture and sound quality is good. Nice price. Plays most DVD and CD Formats.

A few bugs in the Recording schedules, Stops during programmed event. Missing programmed events.

An improved DVD Recorder, ILO DVDR05 MU1

I made sure to find a model marked MU1 after reading reviews online. This recorder is replacing a GoVideo Recorder that only lasted 1 year and 4 months before it failed. I can say from experience that this recorder has a lot of improvements from ...

It puts out reliable recordings in 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, & 8 hour mode.

Remote control is small.
