Review on Lite LVW5001 Plus Player Recorder by Jerry Estrada

I received an updated version of this DVD+ recorder's gateway when it went on sale. I have a Panasonic DVD-R recorder which is much better: better picture quality, better reliability and better user interface. Also, DVD-Minus discs are much more compatible with DVD players than DVD-Plus discs, although a new player shouldn't have any problems with either format. The real problem with Lite-On/Gateway is the build quality. . The player feels cheap and tends to get hot, some reviewers have pointed out, which is an issue for those of us looking to keep it in an entertainment hub. You literally have to put an air conditioner next to it to keep it cool during long shoots. Also, my particular device broke after a few months, so I don't really trust this brand. You might be better off with Panasonic or Toshiba, which offer the best quality and reliability (important for DVD burning) at a reasonable price. Price.
