Product Description Samsung's DVD-VR320 gives you both a DVD recorder and a VCR in a one compact combo deck. It enables you to watch a DVD while the VCR records to tape, or vice versa. The hi-fi VCR offers MTS decoding, four video heads, auto tracking adjustment, three VHS recording settings (SP, SLP, and auto), and quasi S-VHS playback. The DVD-VR320 records onto either DVD-RAM or DVD-R/RW discs, and it provides a front panel composite AV input as well as Firewire (IEEE 1394) port for connecting a digital video camcorder to the unit for recording directly to disc. It's also compatible with playback of CD-R/RW discs with MP3 and JPEG digital content. Customer Reviews DVD Player should play DVDs Bought this to copy some old tapes to DVD and it seemed to do ok at that although the interface is a bit clunky. However, it (like another Samsung DVD player I own from a couple years ago) won't play all comercial DVDs. I tested it with Matrix and it pixilated frequently during action scenes and hung up for several seconds at the layer change. Then it froze frequently until the end. Put the DVD in my old Hitachi player and no problems so it wasn't the DVD. I took it back and will try another I guess. Maybe the Toshiba. Buyer be AWARE This is a terrific machine, but familiarize yourself with your tech. I've got some information that is going to help you out sooooo much: 1 - It is extremely important that you know exactly what type of DVD's that are used with this product (like any other product). It lists very, very specific DVD's that the unit accepts for recording (It takes Sony DVD-R, but it won't necessarily accept a Sony DVD-RW!) And... It only accepts 2x DVD-RW's! I made four trips back and forth to Staples just to find out they didn't have the specific brand name that I needed & I eventually found the Maxell DVD-RW 2x @ a not so local Sears Electronic store. Read your directions VERY closely (as I should have). To help facilitate, I shall give you a head start - 2x DVD-RW's that it accepts: TDK, Maxell, JVC, Mitsubishi, Optodisc, Verbatim & Radius. I didn't find these brand names at Staples OR Best Buy. 2 - Be very aware of HOW you're formatting your DVD's and familiarize yourself with the difference between the modes. After hunting down the DVD-RW's that are required, I have found myself sticking with the DVD-R's. Formatting the RW's in "VR" mode as opposed to "V" mode, won't play on other DVD players. This isn't to say that newer model DVD Players won't play them, but older model DVD players probably won't. The whole reason I thought this DVD creating process was so cool, was the advanced editing features that were offered by formatting in "VR" mode. If you intend on creating permanent DVD's too play back on other DVD players, you should stick with "DVD-R" (which automatically format in "V" mode); if you're making temporary DVD's and plan on recording over them, use "DVD-RW" in "V" mode -- but really, what's the point in using the "VR" mode, with advanced menu editing, if you're just going to record over it? 3 - I've also discovered a manufacturer flaw in this particular model and after speaking with Samsung, found out it is related to in models manufactured before/after July 2005 (yeah, that's not at all helpful, but I honestly don't remember what he said about July 2005). Either way, the system error will appear on your screen like this: [EC:0507] - System error is found. Please try it again after turning off the power." At Samsung.com, under the support tab, you can download a memory update for your DVD burner (which I just think is really cool) - it gives you directions on how to do this. (...) I hope this helps you to avoid the mistakes that I've made. Almost a great product Although this unit has a front DV input, it only has basic interoperability with my Sony camcorder--the DV tape cannot be controlled from the Samsung remote as is possible with a computer/camcorder link, and to my knowledge this unit can't record widescreen footage properly (it's interpreted as fullscreen and appears squished). On the other hand, my dad, a non-technophile, was able to figure it out, and as he does not share my anguish over the widescreen issue, I'm forced to recommend it for basic uses. It does have sane defaults, like an auto-chaptering feature (which may need to be turned on) that inserts new chapters every 5 minutes and handles all the menu creation.
