Good all round performer

I needed a DVD Recorder and in the past have used other recordable devices from Pioneer and Sony. I was suprised to see the local electronics retailer had it on sale for $249, so the purchase became a no-brainer. To date I have had only one problem and...

High quality, wide range of inputs, easy to use

Would rather be asked are you sure rather than being prevented from backing up VHS

Pioneer DVR-320-S DVD Recorder / Player with FireWire Input

The prices of DVD recorders are getting lower every day and seem to have approached what you would have to pay for a good VCR when VCR was the only way to record TV shows. I remember paying $340 for my Panasonic SD11 VCR... Now, for the same ...

Low price, excellent recording quality in Fine and SP modes, easy to use

Can only use DVD-R and DVD-RW, but not DVD+R/RW or DVD-RAM (not a big deal)
