Digital camera reviews of Cyberhome CH-DVR1600 DVD Recorder

Digital camera Review: = A Total Waste of Time + Money
Summary: 1 Stars

I don't normally write such negative reviews of electronics, because I understand sometimes you can just get a lemon. Sometimes, someone at the plant has a bad day and puts together a bad machine. Stuff happens. Nobody's perfect. BUT this machine is nothing but a SCAM, a PURPOSEFUL RIP-OFF sure to sour anyone interested in creating their own DVD library.

Save your money up for something better--Amazon's got LOTS of better machines for $[...] to $[...] more. You know the old saying "don't buy the cheapest tool and don't buy the most expensive one either"? (Okay, so maybe it was just MY Dad that said that). Well, this piece of junk is a perfect example. Sorry to say so! I'm ready to put mine in the trash.

DVD players are preferred over VCRs because of their ease of use and their quick access to content without fast-forwarding or rewinding. Still, many who have left VHS behind miss the ability to record their favorite content. With the Cyberhome CH-DVR1600, you get all of the recording versatility of a high-end VCR and the convenience of a progressive-scan DVD player.

Recording to Disc
CyberHome's DVR 1600 Personal DVD Recorder records to inexpensive and reliable DVD+R/RW discs. Its built-in editing features allow you to add chapter markers or, if that's too much trouble, can automatically select chapter markers for you. Users can record from TV shows through the built-in tuner or from any video source, thanks to the unit's composite video, S-video, and IEEE 1394 inputs. That means that you could record directly from a cable box or a digital video camera's Firewire port. Like a traditional VCR, more programming will fit on a disc at lower quality record levels. For example, the DVR 1600 will record 6 hours of programming in SLP mode, but much less in SHQ mode.

Also like a VCR, the DVR 1600 features live, timer, and scheduled recording functions. The on-screen disc title navigator makes it easy to quickly access your recordings and set up new programs.

Full-Function Progressive-Scan Player
The DVR 1600 is also a full-function progressive-scan DVD player, supporting the best functions of commercial DVDs, like zoom, slow motion forward, fast-forward, review, frame-by-frame, multi-angle, program play, bookmarks, and parental lock. As a player, it supports a variety of disc formats, including DVD+, DVD-, VCD/SVCD, and music formats CD-Audio and CD-R/RW.
