Cheapest / Best DVD Recorder?
« on: October 25, 2005, 02:43:15 PM »
Seen a "no brand" one in ASDA the other day at £85

2 scart, audio / coax in / out, RF in etc - looked OK

Was thinking about holding out until after chrimbo, when the prices will invariably fall through the floor, but I'm an impatient bastard, and want one now - and, realistically - waiting will save me, at most £30...

Anyone know of a good one not much more expensive than this, or one that will do the trick, for less money?

Cheers!

LiteOn LVW-5002B

Probably about a tenner more expensive but good value, plus its multiregion and isnt a 'no brand.'
When your Mum used to pick you up from school and you'd run out and be like 'Mummy I got 9/10 in the spelling test today', would she go 'phenomenal, son'.

Cos if she did she's a stupid fuck.

Few things to look out for:

1) get one with an internal hard drive - preferably at least 80 GB.
2) some are only 2.1 sound, so you need external amplifier to get 5.1
3) try to get one that writes to all types of disk - DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW and CD R/RW
4) something that will play all disks and format, DIVX, SVCD etc
