Waste of money
Review of Samsung DVD-R149 by AndyK000

Advantages: ???
Disadvantages: Nearly everything

I bought this DVD recorder after returning my old one to the shop because it didn't work properly. I thought, well hoped that this one would be better. I was wrong. Every time i put a disc in it the DVD recorder would freeze and not do anything for 10 minutes. When I tried to play CDs on it a message came up saying that there was an error and guess what... it would freeze again. When it came to recording on it, the shop i bought it from were advertising ...
...but it doesn't, it just records on dvd-r. So this was no good when it came to trying to record a film that night, as I only had dvd+r. So I had to record it old school on a VCR. When I got some discs that would work and recorded something on it, Yet another disappointment. The picture quality was really bad. The picture was blurry and the the audio was out of sync. The only good thing I found about this DVD recorder is that it looks quite stylish, ... Read review

DVD recorder to avoid
Review of Samsung DVD-SH855M by kellybayliss

Advantages: Cheap, small
Disadvantages: Need to eb there to amke sure it records

i am happy to say i no longer use this product. I got this DVD recorder for only £190 which is a really good deal so i thought. I got it home and attempted to set it up but i just could not get on with it at all. i read and re read the instructions but i still could not do it. I got a freind to set it all up and then gave it a second try. I did manage to record on it twice but both times it recorded the wrong thing at the wrong time and most times ...
...time i could record was if i there to check it and that was pointless. when i did manage to record things the recording would only play some of it and would sometimes freeze or not play at all which again was annoying. i did call the helpline but they are not very helpfull at all ...

This Year's Top Budget Model
Review of Samsung DVD-SH853M by sghawken

Advantages: Great series of facilities
Disadvantages: Attracts dust, no time remaining, no HDNI

...the success of last year's Samsung DVD recorder I again chose to stick with the brand again. During last year having fought it off for a few years silver finally made way for black, as black had for silver five years prior; I am of course talking about casings. The Samsung DVD-SH 853 comes completely in black with a nice neon blue power button. I reach my first stumbling point, the new casing is a beautiful shiny black and as a result it attracts ...
...With this year's Samsung model, rather like the one I purchased last year the recorder will burn images regardless of the disc speed. Until recently DVD recorders would only record on discs that clearly indicated X1, those discs that said X16 or X32 would only really work in PC's. The Samsung models rather capably do both. There are recording advancements this year too, now you can record on rewritable discs, or on RAM discs. On a Rewritable disc ... Read review

Sleak And Sexy, Just Like Me!
Review of Samsung DVD-R 128 by sghawken

Advantages: Highly durable machine
Disadvantages: None, it even survives long drops

I recently purchased the Samsung DVD-R128. I had simple requirements, it needed to be cheap (this was a secondary recorder), it needed to be of a certain size (due to the space it was to fill in a piece of furniture), and most importantly it needed to record in the - format. The main brand you find that falls into these requirements is LiteON, but I had just encountered a nasty situation with two different models of LiteOn product, that meant after ...
...with them. However this model Samsung machine stood out, it met all my requirements, plus my very first DVD player was a Samsung and almost 10 years on it still works fine. Ok so lets get technical for a second; the recorders vital statistics were size and this model sits with a width of 43 cm, and a height of 4.9 cm; these dimensions mean that I can get my Telewest box, and my DVD recorder in a space in a bedroom unit, typically designed to fit ...
