Pros: Lots of features for the price

Cons: Couldn't get the board to stay powered on. I tried two of every componant from memory, to power supply. The board would sporatically shut down during use. Would have to turn of the psu switch, hold down the power button, turn the PSU back on to get to boot. During the week of troubleshooting, Bios had to rebuild from the backup five times. All latest drivers were installed. Finally returned the board to Newegg. Going to get an ASUS.

Pros: Nice feature set.

Cons: The player was hard to get VCR tapes into. It wouldn't play them half of the time without ejecting and re-inserting. It was always HOT! The DVD record funtion usually included the process of unplugging the unit before it would return to normal operation or playback of DVD's.

Overall Review: I really enjoyed this recorder when it worked. It eventually frustrated me so bad I took it back to the store as a defective unit.
