I too, own a Lite-On product similar to the models that other reveiwers of Lite-On products have. They are very accurate on their reviews. Mine worked fine at first. Then it began to quit reading its own DVD+R discs that it recorded. Now it has trouble reading other finalized discs. Sometimes it won’t even read DVD+RWs. I suggest to people to go away from these DVD recorders that were pretty much set up to record through an NTSC tuner, and go with a DVD recorder that has a Digital tuner. Although, they aren’t made any better than any other DVD recorder. But, at least they don’t seem to have a problem reading what has been previuosly recorded on them. Plus you can use the DVD tuner/recorder as a Digital converter. So you can watch & record Digital stations.

One of the most disappointing of all the Liteon recorders,most of the Liteon recorders are super easy to use but this one is a real odd ball, with little in common with the rest of the excellent Liteon 5000 series of recorders.Buy a Liteon 5001,5007,5005 or 5006 instead these are far easier to use and all readily accept updated firmware.

I bought it because it was cheap. The machine has lots of bugs:
- Locks-up
- Gains time every day, making the clock wrong
- Won’t always record
- Menus are difficult to read
- Subtitles appear by default, and I have to turn them off every time
- Poor range on remote control
There were a couple of good features though:
- Multiple inputs
- Direct DV port in front, makes for easy transfer from camcorder
- Cheap

Complete junk ! problems: Worked good for about 2 days then I noticed the unit would not come on when the power button was pressed.
I finally got the unit to power up by unplugging it from the wall outlet. This has to be done every time you want to use it. Problem number 2 is the Subtitles are always on unless you turn them off. Problem 3 remote range is very limited no more than 5 or 6 feet away from the unit and the remote fails to work. I returned my first unit and got another one, but it started to have the exact same problems. Also I have a friend who purchased this same unit and now he is having the same problems too. Avoid this peice of junk !

Well, I waited until it died, and it took 17 months, as I purchased it in September of 2004. I don’t want to be negative, but I didn’t want to review it after only a couple of problems, or only after a month of successful operation, either.
This unit did OK for the time it worked. Let’s face it, very few electronics last for more than a couple of years, nowadays. In this case, we had no issues as a DVD player (and still don’t), other a slightly dark picture, but 90% of the DVD +R’s we insert for recording now issue a “Write Fail” message.
We used it heavily as a player and recorder during that time, so the money we saved by recording family movies payed for itself. All in all, it was about what I expected.
Now I am off to WalMart for another $89 model…
