It won't recognize any dvd I burned on it and it won't even play store bought dvd's anymore. It just says the dvd is loading forever and then kicks the dvd out. I have to agree with all the other 1 star reviews. It will play a dvd sporatically but good luck getting it to work. The recording capabilities were good and easy to use but what is the point if you can't watch these dvd's just 2 years later from a crappy product. I purchased this player exactly 2 years ago and now it is nothing more than a piece of junk. Don't buy it, I hope to spare someone else $200 and buy a quality product instead.
It gives a disc initialization error, it malfunctions when playing a DVD. This model is now only good for playing mp3 and music CDs and VHS tapes, neither function is what I bought this for. I think just at a year it stopped working entirely for the DVD playing/recording side. I got probably 5 DVD recordings before this function stopped working.This unit lasted less than a year with moderate use and I most likely will stay away from Samsung electronics from now on.
I am sorry I did. Do not buy. This unit rejects 2 out of every 3 disks. The record quality is poor. Their TVs are great, but whoever designed this deck should be fired.
I already have this recorder and needed a second one and went out of my way to find it. Easy programming, clear recordings and a sharp picture through it's tuner. I have not used the VCR side though.
After all, why would a major company like Samsung produce a machine that all of a sudden stopped working after a year. I just bought a new non-name brand recorder, that will probably be much much better. At first I thought the DVDs themselves might be faulty and even threw several out. And waited. So I waited. I lost everything. At any rate, when the movie was over I got the usual message after I pressed the stop button to wait.
And waited. I bought a whole box set produced by 20th Century Fox, but can I watch any of them on this machine. Usually after 30 seconds or so the message disappears, but this one was on for literally 15 minutes. I had to unplug the damn thing and then it came back as a blank disc. I could not shut the machine off or press stop. It's this machine that is truly damaged). I have just been reading up on a lot of the other customer reviews here and it's now at least I know it's not me.Like many others, mine worked for about a year (of course the time of the warranty) and then began not being able to read recordable DVDs.
No.I just burned a 2.5 hour movie from VHS to DVD+R (sometimes the plus-r's will not "initialize" correctly because they are "damaged" Bull. Several movies I had to watch on my laptop b/c it would not play.I could finally, at times, get some of the discs to work, but literally after trying 15 or 20 times. Then they started not working for a lot of pre-recorded discs as well, and even discs I made on this very machine. Tomorrow Samsung goes into the garbage and hopefully my new machine will never give me this problem.To hell with Samsung and all of their products.
