Best recorder Ever

 

I had a magnovox just like it for three months and it messed up and when i bought this product it was the best thing i had ever did. It has way better picture and it has a more sleek design.

only accepts DVD-R discs

Great Value!

 

I bought this system at [@] more than two years ago and the recorder still works! Great for recording TV shows 4 or 6 hours. Great performance for the money even back then when it was [$]. Now for [$] bucks! I'd probably get another one.It'll be nice...
