DVD Recorders > LiteOn DVD Recorders

Advantages: Nice Appearance
Disadvantages: No menu and quite difficult to set up

...occasionally. I looked up liteon website and found there was firmware to correct this problem, which I downloaded, followed the correct procedure but it made no difference. I thought perhaps it was the discs I was using but after playing them on my son's player there was no fault with the discs, which were high quality discs. Another big minus is there is no menu when a disc is inserted so. Disc plays automatically and you have to scroll through ... Read review

Advantages: Small and simple
Disadvantages: Slow response

Liteon is not a main manufacture and i was abit causious about buyin this make but for the price ive paid ive had no regrets This recorder as all the features you would ever want in DVD recorder at a affordable price Thesize of the record is smal and very good if you have limited space to put it. With most recorders they are large and bulky but this is smaller than my old player. This recorder is very simple to use and set up recordings. It is ...
...i have found with this recorder in the 3 months of owning one is the reaction time from turning the recorder on. once the recorder is turned on dont expct to even open the disk tray for at least 30 seconds. but once a dvd s loaded it is fast and good for DVD games. My overall advice to protensial buyers is to deffinatly consider purchasing this make ... Read review

...brand. I found the liteon for 135 dollars at walmart, 20 dollars more then a durabrand and a magnavox but I knew lite-on, it was the brand of my computers burner. I bought the machine and right after getting it home I was already impressed, the ease of set up was astonishing. I quickly ran my digital cable box through the machine, ran the machine to my tv using component cables, and attached my dvd player and vcr to the machine using component ...
...in, and component out as well as the coax in and out and the rca in and out all on the back the machine also has a usb in and rca in on the front which I use for moving content off my camcorder and digital cameras. You can set the length of time the dvd will record for 2 4 6 and 8 hours each one losing a little more picture quality. The chapter breaks however are not as customizable as the dvd record time. I have put this machine through a tremendous ... Read review

Advantages: DVD-DL recording, optical output, DVD-R and DVD-+R, lots of features
Disadvantages: DVD drive reliabilty, can't watch and record at same time

I originally bought the Liteon LVW-5045GDL+ model fro Currys Digital a coupld of years ago when they were doing it on promotion for whatever football cup was on. We used it for several months without problems, recording to both the HDD and DVDs, and playing many DVDs - both commercial and home-burned. After about 8 months, the DVD suddenly stopped recognising blank DVDs. I took it back to Currys, who replaced it with the HD-A 740 GX model they ...
...really don't get this as Liteon have a great reputation for their optical drives in PCs! Anyway, aside from this, the 740 is a great DVD recorder - it can record to Dual-layer DVDs, has optical output for home cinema, can be firmware upgraded, and has a pretty decent - if complex - menu system. Avoid using the EP and SLP modes - the picture quality is a bit jagged at times. Some makes of DVDs are simply not recognised, but that's really not big ... Read review
