Reviewed by JR on 01-23-2008 Ok when it works - but 1) is requires -R or -RW DVDs, 2) has proven to be unreliable when copy a VHS to DVD. My only conclusion is that it sometimes thinks my home VHS tapes are DVDs and so it refuses to copy them. But the worst part is that there is NO error message or anything - it just sits there. The 1-button copy is nice but we've found it to work about 1/2 of the time. This machine is going to be replaced soon in our house Rating:
