Create and edit your own DVDs directly from your TV or camcorder. Archive valuable memories from VHS tapes or record your favorite television shows to high-quality, long-lasting DVD discs.The new GoVideo R6530 DVD recorder easily and conveniently records your favorite television programs to higher quality DVD discs, enabling you to never have to lift a VHS tape again! GoVideo has made it simple – whether recording TV programs, archiving family videos, or just playing back DVDs and CDs in a wide variety of today’s hottest formats, the R6530 DVD Recorder does it all. GoVideo’s R6530 DVD recorder lets you easily record your favorite television shows and treasured home videos to high-quality, long-lasting DVD+R (write-once) and DVD+RW (rewriteable) discs. The recorder’s built-in NTSC TV tuner and onscreen user interface permits up to eight timer recordings over a single month, with five recording speeds providing between one and six hours of content on each DVD disc. The R6530′s high-quality recordings and easy operation make it a perfect replacement for the traditional VCR.
The R6530′s versatile playback features include progressive-scan video outputs and support of MP3, JPEG, and Kodak Picture CDs. A variety of video and audio inputs–including front-panel connections for fast, temporary hookups–grant connection to virtually all televisions and home theater components. An easy-to-use full-function remote control commands all the action.
Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you’re merely thinking of “someday,” the R6530 stands ready to deliver the full playback potential of your DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.
When recording, the unit automatically creates a new disc title every time you start a new recording. You can then add chapters to these recordings manually or have them automatically inserted at five-minute intervals.
DVD+RW discs require no finalizing: you can record, eject, and play them with minimal fuss, thanks to background formatting. This feature, which lowers total burning time, is an advantage over the “dash” formats. Other DVD+RW advantages include on-disc content editing and multisession writing. And, through DVD+RW and DVD+R’s compatibility with most existing DVD players, they’re a great way for you to share your special memories with family and friends.
To help you navigate the transition from VCR to DVD recording, GoVideo’s “white-glove customer care” includes free telephone assistance in making your first recording, should you need it.

I bought this item, refurbished, a month ago, from a local vendor here at El Salvador, they gave me a 1 year warranty and the system was very cheap. I know from experience my vendor honors their 1 year warranty, because they will change the system or give me my money, on their own, they have nothing to do with GoVideo.
Well my system works fine and the sales man had the knowledge and the kindness to tell me to use only DVD+R at 4X. Not 8X, or other speed. I know it is weird but it was good he told me, he was right and I know just what to buy. I have gotten good results from any brand that is a DVD+R or DVD+RW at 4X.
I bought it knowing that and accepted it, for the price was the best I had seen for a DVD recorder.
I have owned other GoVideo equipment that has worked great for years.
this has been my experience

I did not purchase the recorder from Amazon. It was an impulse buy from another on-line merchant due to the low price: $169. Tried it out immediately and successfully recorded a couple of half hour shows. Did not use it for 3 months. A couple of days ago, I decided to “tape” a show. The recorder would not record. Spent considerable time on hold, talked finally with a technician who said I would have to send it in for repairs. Unfortunately, I did not realize the warranty was for only 90 days; I thought that was only for refurbished items. I have decided not to send it back for repairs—no telling how much it would cost. No more impulse buying without researching. A check of the Amazon reviews would have saved me $169.

Heard good things about GO VIDEO, so i bought it. Nothing but JUNK – wasted a whole weekend trying to figure out the Disc+R.
recorded on the media and upon loading says “NO DISC”. even if the disc was loaded. I returned the discs and bought memorex compatible +R. still the same problem after recording.
Display does not work while recording. PBC ? what is it no mention of it in the manual. it is just a button on th eremote.
I will never buy this piece of crap again. stick to Pioneer, Panasonic or Sony.

I bought the first unit and it wouldn’t recognize the R dvd’s. I could only record on the RW dvd’s. It would not finalize either the R or RW dvd’s. Customer service said it was probably the brand of dvd and to try other brands…NOT. I sent it back thinking it was probably a bad unit. Low and behold, I had the same problem with the second unit.
Everything in the other reviews is true…very slow response from the remote, plus I always had to get up and point the remote directly at the unit at a close distance. Poor layout of buttons on the remote.
So, I’ve wasted my time, endured a lot of frustration and I’m out of return shipping costs for two units. Save yourself the time and frustration.
