N/A Member Since: Product Experience: 2 Weeks	Dvd/Dvr Strengths: Large harddrive. Easy to learn from on-screen menu's. Great remote control. Weaknesses: Haven't found any yet! Summary: Arrived in perfect condition. I have done a lot of research on these recorders. Finally purchased this one at a great price of 273.00. It is one of the easiest to operate, that I have seen. I am not stupid when it comes to electronics, but I took a magnavox recorder back to the store, because it gave me fits trying to learn. But the Lite-on was a breeze to figure out. Had it set up and recording to dvd's from vhs in about 15 minutes. Also recorded to the hard drive from the vhs player. And recorded from the hard drive to dvd. Would recommend this model to anyone wanting technology and simplicity together. Thank you Lite-on for producing a product that works, at a reasonable price. 100% of People (8/8) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?

N/A Member Since: Product Experience: 5 Months	Not Good Strengths: Easy to learn how to operate. Weaknesses: Copy failure. Summary: Stops recognizing dvd's. We go through 5 new blank dvd's before it recognizes one that I can copy to. Cleaned it many times and it keeps getting worse! Taking it back to the store. 100% of People (2/2) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate. There are no comments for this review.

zgenerale Member Since: Mar 2006 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 1 Months	Liteon HD-A760GX: Too many short-comings Strengths: 1) Has "pause live TV" function (need to initiate, not auto like TIVO), 2) SP PQ is good (possible LSI chip), 3) Can "name" TV channels, 4) 2x+ burn Weaknesses: Editing, Non-multi-tasking, Remote, ?Mono Tuner?, Video file by file dubbing Summary: 2006-10-02 08:17:46 Too many weaknesses. Unit will be returned. I have a 2003 Panasonic DMR-E80H which runs circles around this unit, in particular for editing out commercials (no backward frame advance, what edit point you select is not what you get, don't know what FFD rate you are using (and it slows down by itself from advancing 12 secs down to 3 sec about 20 minutes into the program while fast forwarding) so that you may not be fast forwarding at most optimal speed) -- overall it takes too much time and effort to edit. Even if not editing, you can only watch the current program being recorded (could Chase Play & pause) and do nothing else (can not watch a DVD or other previously recorded programs on HD, nor can you access the timer recording). Remote is not egronomic for editing (as the Play, FF, Pause buttons are on the bottom third of the remote). There is also a very slow response (Rubbery feel) to the remote when naming a title. Timer recordings appear to have the name of the TV station. (I didn't see how to name the program when you are programming it). You can "name" TV channels to avoid potentially selecting incorrect channel # (can also re-"sequence" them so that your more frequently watched channels are closer by. - No "Commercial skip" (advance by 1 or 1/2 minute) - Dubbing video files from HDD to DVD is file by file (at approx 2x). For a 22 minute program (30 minute show less commercials) recorded at SP mode (2hr mode), it'll take about 5 minutes to burn, then you'll need to burn the next file and so forth. You can not select more than one file to burn and come back in an hour and have it all done. 80% of People (4/5) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?
