Lite LVW5001 Plus Player Recorder Review

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

I just bought the LVW-5001 by mail order for $199 and can't say enough good things about this DVD recorder. Set up was easy and the sharp and clear picture is amazing. That puts my other famous DVD player brand to shame! The "Guider" function makes formatting and finalizing DVD extremely easy.

The picture quality is better than I expected and much better than a VHS recorder. I transferred some SVHSC camcorder footage to DVD, as well as some miniDV…

Excellent price. Finally the DVD recorder replaces the VHS recorder for the price. Recording from analogue or digital (Firewire) devices. First, good. The DVD recorder works well.
