When my old DVD Recorder died on me I was a bit sceptical about purchasing this DVD Recorder, as i had never heard of the Liteon brand. But i heard from a good friend of mine that they were actually a very well established company. Before i made my purchase, i had a look around on the internet for reviews and specifications and i must say, i was very impressed before i even bought the recorder.

When i got back from Currys after having purchased this £100 beauty, the first thing i did was obviously got it out of the box. I was already impressed when i saw that it came with its own scart lead, many players and recorders do not, meaning that you end up having to pay another £10-15 just to connect it up. Liteon are also kind enough to include 1 Rewritable DVD, it may not sound much but it is better than nothing!!

When it was all set up, i powered it on, to find it waiting for me to set it on its way to automatically tune the channels. Once this is complete, you are on your way to watching or recording DVD's

Playback is very smooth, with a vast variety of playable formats including DivX, XviD, MP3, WMA, JPEG etc. As i said, it is ideal for the downloaders out there because it will play damn-near every disc you give it.

Recording is a breeze, the unit comes with an easy to use guidance system to help you step-by-step when trying to record something.

Another great feature is the ability to make the recorder multi-regional. This means you can play any DVD from around the world. If you would like the code to activate the multi-region then please leave a message in my guestbook.

There are a few niggles that i have with this recorder though

1. Lack of physical display - because Liteon have decided to make it compact, they have had to erradicate any form of display on the unit itself, leaving you with just the On-Screen-Display.

2. No navigator on movie, music or picture discs - I found this quite an annoyance because all of my past players have had this function allowing you to choose exactly what you want to watch. Instead it treats it like a CD, you just have to skip the tracks

All in all, this is a great little player, it suits my needs just fine, it may not be great for the real home cinema enthusiasts, but its great for general users such as myself

TWO THUMBS UP!!

More Lights Off Than LiteOn
Review of Liteon LVW-1105 HC by  sghawken

Advantages: Easy to use
Disadvantages: Dreadfully unreliable

...I have always been a strong supporter of LiteOn DVD products, as well as a DVD writer in one of my PC's I have two LiteON DVD players and two different LiteON DVD recorders all of which I have reviewed and been fiercely proud of; however a recent budget purchase has put LiteOn on a much different plateau in my mind. In our new home the size of one of my DVD recorders meant that a new purchase was needed; room in our bedroom in a little scarce as we traded down to increase our financial situation. With new bedroom furniture in it meant an existing recorder was millimetres to big for the location. So I headed off into town where I purchased the LiteOn LVW-1105 from Currys. Digital, priced at just £79. Proudly rushing home with my new toy under my arm I was confident that the LiteOn brand was the one for me. Install is straight... Read review

Review of Liteon LVW-1105 HC by  Albinorhino

Advantages: cheap, many inputs, easy to use and set up
Disadvantages: long finalize and start up times, little choice in chapter length.

...I bought this machine just before my wedding in 2006. I was looking for a budget machine as I did not want to put the big money in for a sony or some other name 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 cables and regular RCA cables. Other then the 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...
