Magnavox MWR10D6 DVD Recorder

I bought this Magnavox because I have had the EXACT SAME ONE for many years, and I want another one for flexible recording. Very pleased. Make SURE to get a remote (specific to this machine).

Great while it worked...but then it just died. No power light, no nothing... just completely dead. It's like something shorted out inside (guessing here) so its just like a plastic box now. A plastic box with a DVD stuck inside. :(I didn't get much use out of it at all... maybe a couple of weeks. When I finally opened it and set it up I loved it. It was a little slow but I was really enjoying it... until it just stopped. I bought a refurb for my sister (before mine fizzled) and as far as I know hers is still working. She's only had it a few weeks. I'll post an update if hers doesn't last through 2009. I don't think you can get these new any longer.UPDATE:02/25/10The refurb I bought my sister is still working.UPDATE:08/02/10The refurb I bought my sister is STILL working and she uses it often!I just increased stars from two to three for that. Probably pointless at this stage since electronics become antiquated so quickly but there you go.UPDATE:11/26/12Wow. My sister is STILL enjoying the one I bought her. Go figure.

Received the DVD player with no remote Or cords that were listed on the picture on Amazon after speaking with the sellerThey stated it clearly said no remote was included which It did not and then later claimed that the remote was in the box when it was delivered just a terrible experience

This is the second one of these I bought (paid a little over $55. for the first one purchased new via Walmart, which was a great deal).Pros: this thing just works and works and is a good value for the modest price: I've burned MANY DVDs (a couple hundred by now) with it, using it to clear space on my Tivo DVR's hard drive and make transfers from old VHS tapes... I liked it so much, I paid more for another/used one than I did for the first new one, simply because I trusted it to work well and it's getting really difficult to find a low-price stand-alone video DVD burner; small footprint; S-video input/output which I prefer for older/analog/standard-def connections.Cons: the GUI/menus look a bit dated and aren't exactly well laid-out, though you get used to them; the remote is fairl UN-ergonomic, but again, you get used to it.

I was VERY happy with this refurbished DVD Recorder because it lasted longer than any of my previous DVD recorders - and ALL of those were purchased new from stores like Walmart and Sam's Club. Of course, it was not a pretty as a brand new player, but what mattered was that it worked... and continued to work far longer than I expected due to previous systems. On average, a DVD Recorder last me about 17 months. This system managed to last for over 4 years before it was worn out from regular usage - which for my family is a lot since all of us have busy work and school schedules. I highly recommend this seller for refurbished DVD Recorders. Even though the recording feature is now unreliable due to heavy usage, the player still works great... so I am purchasing a new one and keeping the old system as a player back-up (just in case we need it in the future).

I am an avid Classic Movie buff and have been copying old, classic movies for years. Previously copied movies on VHS video cassettes and now in the process or re-copying to DVD. Predominately copy from TV (Cable) broadcasts, I find this unit's edit functions quite simple to use and allows easy editing of the TV commercials for smooth, continuous playback. I am pretty sure, this unit has been discontinued from Magnavox. Over the years, I have purchased a total of three of these units which all are operating. Bought third unit as a spare.I have received great service from this unit and again, prefer this unit because of the ease or operation of the edit functions. Would recommend this unit to all movie buffs who want to copy movies from their TV broadcasts, especially if they are interested in editing the commercials.Dana Bourgeois Magnavox MWR10D6 DVD Recorder

I've bought several of these that are the "progressive scan" model and use them with my Dish TV service instead of using their "hopper" DVR. You can't go wrong with the color-coded connections. I can record anything perfectly, including programs and movies other DVD recorders forbid you to record. Read the owners manual-- that's all you have to do. Maybe that will cut down on some of the whiny ignorant reviews I've seen here? This is a great product. It's simple to use. It produces excellent-quality video with equally good audio. Mine is also a DVD player. Not only can I easily watch my own recordings but can enjoy any non-regional (and any N T S C) DVD on the market. And, just in case anything happens to the one I'm using now, I keep a spare in-the-box in the closet as a back up. I'd rate the MWR10D6 more than 5-stars if that was possible.

I got this to convert VHS tapes. This has a lot of features, way more than I needed to convert tapes, thus operation is fairly complicated. I always have to get out the manual to operate it and 1/2 the time I end up with blank CD's. I still don't really understand the menu options, the manual is not very clear or easy to understand. The good is it makes great copies when you can figure it all out. Plays DVD's very well and that is pretty straight forward, it's the recording that is complicated. So, after a year I have made only about 5 copies.

On the picture there was a remote but on the delivery no remote !
