Record mode works great but I have over FIVE commercial DVDs from Area 1 that won't play on this unit. I KEEP my old Sony DVD/VCR combo - it has no problems with these 5 discs. Each is listed as a Type 9 "Double Layer" DVD (all Disney releases). my conclusion? Get a device if you want to sign up. But first? Go out and buy a cheap DVD player to play commercial releases. I had the same problem with a Panasonic device. These DVD recorders appear to have serious problems playing commercial DVDs.
