Review on Magnavox ZV427MG9 DVD Recorder / VCR with Line-In Recording (Tuner Not Included) by Jerry Frey

this is the third time i am reviewing this recorder. my hobby is video broadcasting and I use these devices at least 38 hours a week all year round. they are workhorses! All you have to do is register. clean repair and such. 100% reliable. BUT! BEWARE OF NEW ONES THAT HAVE BEEN CHIPED! You're going to have all sorts of problems recording and programming, and hooking it up to a cable box will make those aforementioned problems seem like a drop in the bucket. After a few years of heavy use and handover I take my car to Sears for service (usually the VCR comes first) and it's like new. I have my new backup from: abarsh1 on Amazon Market. To date, he is the only one who does not sell chipped cars, despite the missing entry in the product description. The only way to tell if it's chipped is to buy it and plug it in.
