User Comments about the RCA DRC8295N DVD+R/ DVD+RW RECORDER WITH VCR

I transferred many VHS videos, and recorded hundreds of TV programs to disc with great results. For the past 3 or 4 months, though, it has been rejecting an increasing majority of blanks as having a "disc error" and not accepting them to record. I now have 200+ blank discs, and cannot record anything. I've owned this DVD recorder for about 2 years. When it was new, it was a good unit with some nice editing features not found on other less expensive models. So this is a good machine, but don't expect it to function for much more than a year.



The one minor problem the machine seems to have is that it messes up on R disks on a regular basis but only occassionally does it mess up on RW which you can simply erase and reuse. The particular neat feature about this machine is that( if you record programs off the air or have videos which have commercials already on the tape) you can "HIDE" the commercials upon playback.


So I now only use RW disks with the machine and thus have very few problems. The main feature I like with the unit which I have not been able to find on other combination vcr-dvd recorders is the ability to "edit" RW disks.


This recorder is quite a workhorse. In other words once the disk has been "edited" and you play it back you can choose to either watch it with the commercials viewable or watch the disk with the commercials not viewable (ie hidden).


I bought one in Walmart in May of 2005 and have transferred hundreds of videos to DVD with it. While it now occassionally hangs up due to the high usage I have put it through as well as its age-overall it still is a solid machine.


It is quite a neat feature.I wish other recorders out there had this particular feature.


I purchased this item. Have had noting but issues with it freezing up when I try to record.
