Review: Further to the previous review of the Lite-On LVW-1105HC dvd recorder, I shall list the good and bad points.

Good points:

It can use any format DVD (DVD-/+R or DVD-/+RW) etc

It can be formatted as multi-region with help from the internet

It's small size is useful for those with space limitations

It's reasonably priced.

Bad points:

The picture quality is VERY POOR. (I have connected my cable box via scart into the unit and the picture degradation is terrible). This detracts a great deal from the veiwing pleasure.

The description says that it can record up to 6 hours. This is if you use the super extended recording quality, which leaves you with a VERY POOR quality of recording. The Standard recording mode gives up about 2 hours, and is barely acceptable for a machine of this day and age. If you use the high quality, you get about 1 hour tops.

The remote control is very cheap and flimsy, and WHY OH WHY is it a dreadful white colour when the rest of the unit is silver?????

Do yourself a favour, spend a few extra quid and buy a branded unit, you won't regret it.
