Review Summary: Very happy with my purchase

Overall Score: 5/5

Review: Having searched long and hard for a DVD recorder that had everything I wanted at a price I could afford I settled on this JVC DRM-1SL DVD recorder and I haven't regretted it for a moment.
It has the ability to use DVD-RAM disks so you can do "timeslip" recording (start watching the program before you have finished recording it) which is very useful as a "pause live TV" feature. It has an advantage over the Panasonic R70/75 in that it will take DVD-RW disks as well as DVD-R so I can record programs, be able to play them back on other DVD players and still reuse the disk as well as archiving the program if I wish.
The quality is excellent (even on LP mode giving you 4 hours/4.7 GB disk) and better than VHS on EP (6 hours/disk) mode.
It is very easy to catalogue the programs on the disk with editable titles, programme classification and splash screen for the index. I am very pleased with the ease of deleting adverts from the recordings with everything being done using play/pause and it allows you to preview what you will get after you have deleted the selected scenes.
The "Just" quality mode is excellent for making a recording fit into the space left on the disk - you tell it to use this and it adjusts the quality of the recording to ensure that all you have programmed fits in.
