Digital camera reviews of Cyberhome CH-DVR1600 DVD Recorder
Digital camera Review: DO NOT BUY!!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
The rating of "one star" is being generous, as this dererved NEGATIVE stars.
When I first purchased this unit I was rather pleased with it. After all, I was FINALLY able to transfer my videos containing every single Watership Down episode into a more permanent format. And it was easy to use. Unfortunately, my happiness faded a couple of months later when suddenly discs started being eaten. The machine started eating discs on a regular basis. Currently I am attempting to record every episode of The Collector onto DVD as it airs each week, and am in constant fear of that "bad disc" messege popping up after recording an episode, as has happened with many other things I have recorded. This unit does more bad than good. I shouldn't have to record The Collector to VHS simultaniously every week to serve as backup should the DVD recorder fail.
Avoid this recorder AT ALL COSTS.
Digital camera Review: DVR 1600 MU1 - Buy it on your own risk
Summary: 2 Stars
I have given it two stars only because of the Cyberhome customer service. Actually, there is no customer service. Here is their message on 888 customer service number:
"Thank you for calling the Cyberhome Entertainment service center. If you have any questions regarding the operation of your product, we have an extensinve knowlegde base to support you at www dot cyberhome dot com slash service. Our phone and e-mail support is currently not available."

I did not find the answer to my question at this WEB site.
There is no way you can post your questions on this WEB site.
There is no way you can get an RMA at this WEB site.
Otherwise almost all functions worked properly for me, except for playing back the recorded DVDs on the computer. There was no sound. I can perfectly watch any other DVDs on the same PC, but not the ones recorded with Cyberhome DVR 1600 MU1. I am going to return this DVR back to the store.
Good luck!
Digital camera Review: Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm giving this item 1 star because Amazon didn't have zero stars. Like everyone else I had the finalize problem after two months of light use. I bought the DVR1600 as a toy for only $89 but was still disappointed due to all its problems. The design is flawed. Many things such as the recording speed should be a separate button on the remote but you have to scroll down three or four windows on the screen to find it. Before the finalize problems it would often record with the audio and video out of sync. Recording at speeds other than HQ or SP are grainier than comparable speeds on a VCR. Before the finalize problems it did a suitable job making timeshift recordings not to be kept permanently. Overall it is much less useful than a VCR. It also ruined my DVD+RW discs so the DVD burner on the PC can't read them either. At least it lasted longer than the HP 530i on my PC.Digital camera Review: Don' buy it

You get what you pay for. When I first got the unit...it had minor digtal blips where the picture would freeze for a second then continue...I thought it was the DVR but it also did this when the video games were being played throught the front av imputs. I decided to keep it any way. I had the same problem as everyone else as far as recording dics goes...it would only play the most expensive disc. 3 months later I got up one morning and turned it on...DOA. Took it back to Target...good ridance.
Don't bother with the sister product True-Tech either.
