It Works, but is Just Adequate

"This DVD player/recorder is generally pretty great. The only thing to keep in mind (and this caused me some stress) is to FINALIZE ALL DISCS when you are done recording. If you do not do this, they will not play on any other player. To FINALIZE discs you must go to the system menu, disc settings, di …"  Read Full Review »
