The Bottom Line: Because of the features, the price, and my past experience with Lite On products I would recommend this recorder to anyone looking for a good, dependable machine.

Review: Purchased this recorder at Costco for about $180 and this is probably one of the best buys I have ever made. Since purchasing this recorder about two weeks ago I have burned maybe 25 or 30 DVDs and have not had a coaster yet. The recorder acts exactly ...

Pros: easy to use, excellent quality picture

Cons: bought extremly cheap disks, couldn't read, but reads/writes all others

Review: I bought the unit about 6 months ago via fatwallet for $99, it works great, is easy to use, has a great picture, tv is a 27 inch jvc. It does take a little bit for the system to read a blank disk and start recording, like 10 sec, but after each recording ...

Pros: Ease of use, Cost.

Cons: None.

Review: I bought one of these for myself, my parents, and my sister's family. They work great and does everything it is supposed to do. No compatibility issues at all. DVD-R and DVD+R have worked in everything I have tried them ...

Pros: Multi format compatible, fire wire connection, easy to use.

Cons: None.

Review: This is the recorder you need to transfer VHS or Camcorder tapes to DVD. It provides excellent quality and is extremely easy to use. Guider function on remote is the best function on the remote. No learning curve is needed to work with this ...

Cons: nothing yet.

Review: I really like it when you buy something and it DOES what it is supposed to do! I wanted to be able to transfer my home movies over to DVD. This does it so very nicely. Just like the directions say! I went to purchase DVDr's and the sales person was ...

Pros: Inexpensive, easy-to-use, works across the entire audio and video spectrum!

Cons: None

Review: I have been using this unit for 6 months and have never had a disc fail to copy. It's easy to use. But, I didn't realize when I bought it that it copies anything inputted! Superb for backing up my DVD ...

Pros: Not perfect, but it does what I need it to do.

Cons: Finicky on the Re-Writable media that it works best with.

The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a flasher, prettier model, you should wait awhile to jump on the DVDR bandwagon

Review: Let's face it; most people prefer DVD technology to video tape. So much so that companies are banking on it to become the standard playback machine in everyone's entertainment center. Or more accurately they are laughing all the way to the bank with all ...

Pros: DVD-R(W) and DVD+R(W) compatibility!, Low price, many features

Cons: Lack of DVD authoring features, not stylish looking

The Bottom Line: You cant beat the price for features of this recording. Also, the ALL-WRITE technology is awesome! Stick in virtually and DVD format disc and it records!

Review: I purchased the Lite-On 5005 dvd recorder for Christmas based on reviews and price for features. I checked out the Apex dvd recorders and various name brand recorders including Sony and Toshiba and the Lite-On had the best features for the price. I ...

Pros: Inexpensive - fully featured - works well once you take the time to learn.

Cons: A little difficult to understand at first - not as easy as a VCR.

The Bottom Line: I would buy again, but be prepared to experiment in making disks until you get the hang of it. Fun way to preserve your old VHS tapes.

Review: I bought a Liteon 5005 DVD Recorder to make copies of TV shows stored on the cable company's 'personal video recorder' and use it as a way to copy my old VCR movies. While I have HDTV the cable box 'downgrades' the picture quality when allowing you ...

Pros: Works well, Remote Guide makes it easy.

Cons: Some additional features would be appreciated

Review: I bought my 5005, got it home, plugged in and was burning DVD's in under an hour. I bought the 5005 for the specific reason to burn my Analog and Digital home movies to DVD. I used Sony DVD+R's with no troubles. Positives: The Guide option is idiot ...
