record from tv and can edit on my computer. and able to make a great back up. just a good solid player and recorder. its a great player and recorder. supports many formats. good price
Excellent play back In 4.3 and 16.9. Works well for transferring video from Sony DCR-HC96 to Dual layer DVD + R discs via 1394 cable.
The unit quickly stopped reading most DVDs and was useless fairly early after purchase. This is the single worst electronic product that I have ever purchased. I had good luck with Samsung in the past but will NEVER buy anything from them again.
I called Samsung back and, in short, they put me off over and over until the 1 year warranty had expired. I had the original unit replaced after about 2 weeks because it wasn't playing back some DVD+R's that I had recorded AND finalized from that same recorder. I decided to tolerate the eject, re-eject issue and after 9 months it wouldn't recognize ANY commercial DVD's and only a few DVD+R's. I will never buy another of their products. I called Samsung about replacement and they told me I would have to pay shipping to a repair facility where they may determine it could not be a warranty repair. I can't comment about other Samsung models but with this experience, I don't care to. It is now worthless and I am shopping for another, different manufacturer.
I am reasonable but Samsung's customer service was rude and ineffective. I bought this unit shortly after it was released. The 2nd unit arrived and worked for 3 months and began to exhibit the same problems including scratchy CD playback that was not heard in my other standard DVD player. It was also occasionally having difficulty with some commercial DVD's. It was necessary to eject and insert a few times to get them to play. Check reviews on the Web, you'll find that these units have a BAD history.
The remote lacks enough power to even change channels from across the room, let alone make simple selections for my grandson on his Thomas video.Last month, there was an odd issue with the door of the DVD refusing to open. Then it refused to record after it had been programmed. I have owned this DVD-r for less than a year. I thought it was operator error, but now it refuses to acknoledge that a DVD is in the drive.I have nothing but problems with this DVD-r from day one, and it is now a useless paperweight.Don't waste your hard earned cash on Samsung's excuse for a DVDr.
