Product Description
DVD Recorders are rapidly replacing the VCR as part of a home-theater component system. Besides getting digital-quality performance, the Samsung DVDR120 is remarkably easy to use. One Touch Recording button on Samsung DVD Recorders makes recording easier than ever. By simply pressing the button, Samsung DVD Recorder automatically searches the available recording space on the disc and starts recording the selected program. Pressing the ":Recording" button once will record up to 30 minutes and pressing twice will record up to an hour. Each time you press the button, Samsung DVD Recorder automatically records an additional 30 minute length of the selected program. The recording time on a disc is a maximum of 240 minutes depending on the recording mode. Once the recording is completed, simply press the "PLAY" button. Now the program that you just recorded will play. This unit will also play virtually all DVD formats and CD, CDR and CDRW.
Amazon.com Product Description
Samsung's two-tone silver/black DVD-R120 puts the power, quality, and convenience of digital video recording and playback at your fingertips. The stylish, slender component stands less than 3 inches tall but delivers everything from triple-format DVD recording (write-once DVD-R, rewritable DVD-RW, and random-access DVD-RAM) to progressive-scan video and playback of MP3 music and JPEG digital-photo files.
Front-panel audio/video inputs offer easy access for connecting external devices such as camcorders, DVRs, and VCRs, and the unit offers both analog and digital DV (FireWire IEEE 1394) inputs for high quality and great flexibility. Now you can edit and share your home-video archives with your family and friends.
Samsung uses its own multi-format technology that allows the DVD-R120 to support three digital recording formats: DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, and DVD-R. DVD-RAM is the most versatile format available to DVDs and can adapt to DVD-RW status for playback on older machines. The recorder's non-contact optical pick-up ensures that each disc will be scratch-free for repeated use. The DVD-RAM format also allows for mixed storage of video, audio, and other types of data from both the PC and AV worlds. The format's non-linear characteristics enable unique features like time-shifting and time-warping. This means you can start watching a program from the beginning while the middle or end is still being recorded. Write-once DVD-R media is widely compatible with other DVD players and PCs.
One-touch and timer recording offers extra convenience (initiating playback at 30 minutes and adding 30 minutes with each additional press of the button, up to the available disc time or 240 minutes, whichever is sooner), while digital noise reduction actually improves upon the quality of incoming interlaced video signals.
During playback, you'll also enjoy live picture pause and replay. And whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DVD-R120 stands ready to deliver the full 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. Composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television.
Connections include 2 each composite- and S-video inputs (1 front and 1 rear) with accompanying stereo analog audio inputs (left/right RCA), 1 each composite-, S-video, and component-video outputs, and the component outs are selectable for either 480i or progressive 480p, depending on your TV. A choice of coaxial or optical digital-audio output facilitates hookup with an audio/video surround receiver for exciting multichannel surround sound from Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 soundtracks.

Out of sync!.......2007-09-02
I bought one of these about 18 months ago. I *think* the first coupla dubs I made were OK, but then I noticed audio and video were out of sync. I thought it was me for the longest time (I'll spare you why) until two weeks ago. Then I did tests that absolutely confirmed it was the product. At that point I did what I should have done a long time ago, which is check user reviews for "Samsung" and "out of sync." Lights up like a Christmas tree.
This product is worthless and the company ought to have the decency to remove it from the market or at least inform its customers of the problem. Would never recommend to anyone.
DVD -R's should not be disposable.......2007-08-11
We have had this unit for a little over a year - and we have to spend over $100 to have it repaired for its "system error" It has always been a little quirky to use and now it is just useless.
Off I go to purchase another and not a Samsung this time.
Great DVD Burner!.......2007-07-19
I have bought two of these. I first bought one for myself and loved it so much I purchased on for my church to record the services. This is an easy burner to use and has a lot of great features and gives a great quality product. A must buy!!
The worst ever! Please don't buy this!.......2007-03-21
I've had this Samsung DVD recorder over a year and it's been nothing but trouble. The power button on the remote wouldn't work out of the box, it's SUPER SLOW in opening & closing and playback is below VCR quality. TERRIBLE BUY!
2006 date issue and no fix for 2007 DST change.......2007-03-01
I bought this unit in Nov. 2005 and at first I liked it, however, once 2006 came around I noticed that it recorded scheduled weekly shows on the wrong day. The Samsung website did not provide much help and I found on some online forums that there was a bug with the 2006 calendar. Their solution was to change the year to 2007 or 2013, something like that. I kept checking the Samsung website for updated firmware to address the glitch but they never released anything.
Now we have 2007 and the US will change to DST 3 weeks earlier. Samsung support was pretty clueless about the whole DST change and said there was no updated firmware available and that I had to manually change the time.
In addition, the recorder will not start up when scheduled about 1/3 of the time. I have not been able to narrow it down or replicate, it seems random.
It is also very picky with blank media. I have not been able to record any DVD-R media at all, only DVD-RW, which is o.k. since I mostly record over the shows once I have seen them. In order to keep a copy, I have to finalize the DVD-RW disk and then make a copy to a DVD-R. There are also some issues with other DVD players and computers being able to play the finalized DVD-RW discs. My Mac mini with OS X 10.4.x will not play them at all. A Panasonic DVD player about 2 years old will not play them either. My Windows PCs and a Sony DVD player play them o.k.

Product Description
The LVC-9016 uses Lite-On's exclusive AllWrite technology for writing to the most popular digital media formats--even CDs. It's integrated 4-head hi-fi stereo VCR features make it ideal for generating digital archives of your large VHS and home-video libraries. With the LVC-9016, sharing and archiving your precious moments onto a digital format is not only simply, it's also fun.
The combo recorder is capable of writing to DVD+/-R/RW and CD-R/RW. It plays CDs loaded up with MP3 music files and discs brimming with your favorite JPEG digital photos--once you've burned your images to a recordable CD, custom slide shows in the comfort of your living room are just a few remote clicks away.
At the press of a button you can backup VHS to recordable DVD or DVD to VHS (as long as DVD copying is not prohibited by anti-piracy technology). The unit's convenient front-panel DV Link (IEEE 1394) connection preserves your DV camcorder footage in its original digital quality. You can store from 1 to 6 hours of audio/video content on a single 4.7 GB recordable DVD, depending on the equality you select.
The LVC-9016 is also a terrific DVD player. Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the LVC-9016 is equipped to deliver the full potential of your DVDs via its progressive-scan component-video outputs. 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.
The deck provides S-video inputs and, for the DVD player, S-video outputs, as well as standard composite-video ins and outs. Choose from optical or coaxial digital-audio outputs to channel digital surround signals (Dolby or DTS) to a compatible multichannel AV receiver and speaker system for dynamic, enveloping surround sound from your commercial DVDs

This price, only work as VCR /DVD player, no recording.......2007-06-12
Purchased from Costco last year, it was ok but VHS to DVD was very bad quality even manufacture issed VHS tape.
Few months back, DVD recorder simply won't record anymore with any empty DVD. Reading new DVD took 1min then big "FAIL" came out on small screen. So work as Play only DVD. I paid nearly $[...] and only work as play VHS and DVD. Very Disapointed.
Took too long to reading DVD before play. Copied DVD will skip all the time. If the DVD inside, not able to play VHS. Everytime when you want play VHS, you need remove DVD so machine can understand which one can is on !?
Anyway considering to move to children's room, not good at main room to use because too much stress! too late to return.
Works Great so Far.......2006-12-20
I have owned this unit for 4 days now. So far I have copied 3 vhs tapes onto DVD-R disks, and one on the editable DVD+R disk that came with the unit. All are perfect. I have had a couple of minor problems. In one case the tape started at fast speed and I had to dump the first DVD, but that was right at the start. I didn't waste any time. In the second case, I tried to change the display while the disk was recording and it locked immediately. So, I chalk that up to learning how to use the unit.
This pretty much does everything it says it will do, so I'm happy. Now I have both a VCR and DVD player hooked up to my TV, giving it more flexibility. This is a real money saver and definitely worth the price. My local camera store wanted $45 per tape for transfer. So, I figure I've already made that back and still have about 30 tapes to copy. Haven't tried making a DVD from my 8mm video tapes yet, but the instructions are pretty clear so I don't anticipate problems.
The unit gives you 3 possible ways to duplicate and they all work. You can play the tape and start to record when you get to the right spot, you can go to the guider program using your remote, or you can push the one-touch copy button on the unit.
Overall, a good experience so far.
Works transferring home videos to DVD.......2006-12-07
It was time for the Luddite to try another DVD recorder. My primary reason for buying was to transfer all the 8mm videos' of the kids to DVD. It did a good job of this and I was able to finish the job I started with a Toshiba recorder. Once I finished that I started converting the big stack of VHS tapes. A binder of 25 DVD's takes up a lot less space then the tapes. This went well. The big glitch is the Macrovision copy protect on some of the movies. I was able to transfer quite a few and get rid of the tapes, anything Disney of course will have Macrovision and wont copy. I have done about 30 DVD's so far and no coasters like the Toshiba would occasionally produce.
I did try timed recording on a DVD a few times and that seems to work fine.
I read a review that complained that DVD's made with this machine could not be imported to a PC for editing. I tried one and it was a success.

If you value your sanity, avoid this piece of junk at all costs........2006-09-12
I have been in the computer field a number of years. So, it isn't very difficult for me to understand and operate most any equipment. I have had plenty of hands on experience with DVD/RW technology. This particular unit promises a lot of service, but seriously fails to deliver. First, I agree that set up was very easy. It would have been even easier if LiteOn has put all the parts they promised in the box. Second, the manual that accompanies this product was written by some one who has little or no command of the English language. Third, it will play and a VHS tape fairly well. So will any cheap VCR. The unit is extremely slow to play or record. Fourth, Copying to a DVD is a complicated process. The recorder will often skip in time, or speed up. That is of course the system doesn't crash. Fifth, the noise it makes while recording is similar to having a small gerbil trapped inside the machine. Sixth, there is no room for human error on the DVD recording. Once you start recording it is impossible to shut down. In addition, you can not record with the VCR in this unit even though it's implied. Seventh, the system is set up to accept only certain manufactures DVD's. The unit simply wouldn't accept anything else with out failing. Eighth, there is no instant record. It's a lengthy complicated process that has severe limitations. Finally, calling Tech support is a joke. The 800 number has been changed to a long distance number. I am suspicious that it is out side the U.S. It takes a very long time to get to actually speak to some one. After that it was very difficult to get a straight answer to technical questions. Save your self the aggravation. Look for another combo. This one is not worth it.
Great, easy to use. Replacement for a VCR.......2006-08-24
I'd been debating getting a DVR, a DVD recorder, a HD recorder, etc. for a while when the VCR broke. As it turns out, I need a VCR for work so I picked up the LiteOn VCR/DVD-recorder.
I love it. Easy to set up, easy to use. Clear, well designed graphical interface.
Here's our situation: low tech. We had a videotape that I had labeled the "poor man's TiVO" that we would record on and watch our weekly programs. I wanted something that would be easy to set recording times on and this machine is it.
Speaking of low tech: all the reviews of these things talk about how to hook up satellite and cable boxes. No thanks, we are still watching broadcast TV. The tuner on this unit is very clear and one feature I appreciate is the "search for channels" set up. As it went through the channels, it showed what signals it was getting in a "picture in picture" type box.
Similarly, when setting up a timer record, it shows the channel that you have selected. This is useful for us because sometimes the bunny ears get knocked and a high UHF channel gets fuzzy and we miss our UPN or WB broadcast.
It's easy to record to a DVD-RW disc (our new "TiVO"). Playback is clear and easy to fastforward and skip ahead or watch in slow motion.
The remote is not cluttered and pretty easy to use. At first, I worried that I didn't see the "Audio" or "Subtitle" buttons on the remote, but there's a "Navi" button that opens a pretty unobtrusive onscreen menu that lets you pick these things quickly. I appreciate the lack of buttons now.
I know, our tv watching sounds pathetic compared to the home theater yakkety yaks in all the other reviews, but hey, it's just the boob tube. This is a great "replacement VCR" with a step up in quality.
(Four stars because I'm a hard grader)

works great but you need to know it's limitations.......2007-04-25
I love this thing, it works great, came fast, everything is just as I wanted.
Easy to set up, easy to use. ONE THING--the dvd's I recorded are only in one format, pay attention to this--it's in dvd-r mode. That means you can't play the recordings on any other machine that is dvd+r mode. I can't even view them on my computer. So unless you plan on only viewing your recordings on this particular machine and not on any other, and you don't plan on giving them to anyone else who may / may NOT have a player that plays dvd-r format recordings...be forewarned. I reckon they'll standardize the format eventually--like vhs - beta debate years ago. But for now, just be aware. Otherwise, I really really like this machine!!
I am still waiting..........2007-01-06
I'm in a quandary about how I should rate this. I have given it one star simply because there is nothing lower. I received it in October, and it never did anything but give us a blank blue screen with random bits of audio floating in now and then. I emailed SamsungMall (the seller) repeatedly, hoping to get some customer support; no one answered. In November I rated the seller--it was a bad rating, with warnings to buyers that all was not right with SamsungMall.
This flaming did the trick, and I received two solicitous emails from customer support and the seller himself, who explained that their server had been down and so had lost their email. It seemed like a decent enough excuse; they were finally paying attention to me, offering a refund and a gift if I would just remove the bad rating and warning. So I did. I figured it wouldn't hurt to be kind.
I also received free return shipping, which I utilized within three days. The unit was packed even more carefully than when I received it, all the necessary paperwork was on and in it, and I handed it to our letter carrier, a gentleman I have known and trusted for years. HOWEVER... that was weeks ago, and I have neither received a refund nor acknowledgement of the return.
I am sick of this company's ineptitude. All I want is to get my money back and NEVER buy anything from SamsungMall EVER AGAIN!!!
not a good dvd recorder.......2006-11-22
does not have a remote control so it is impossible to navigate thru a video
does not have an instruction book
does not have any cords to connect it to a tv
i owned a panasonic dvd ram recorder that worked great for a year and a half before i bought this one to replace it but when i got the samsung it would not play the dvd rams that i used to play on my panasonic unit.
needless to say i sent it back for a refund and i will not buy anything else from samsung.
Good product but does not have feature Amazon claims.......2006-09-02
I purchased this recorder based on Amazon's description. They claimed it had the capacity to play and record at the same time. It does not. I learned something - go to the manufacturer's web-site and check out their description before you order. For me, that feature was the main reason I chose this model so I returned it to Amazon and bought another model which did have that feature. Now - How was this recorder aside from that little glitch? GREAT !! True I only had it a couple of days before returning it - but trust me I gave it a good workout - looking for that elusive play/record feature. Don't let the REMANUFACTURED tag scare you - at least the recorder I received looked like it was brand new. It recorded a super picture and if you use RAM had lots of cool editing features. Be aware new DVD recording folks - if you use the -r or -rw media YOU MUST FINALIZE. This is not a mistake in the recorder - it is a function of the media. If you don't like that step then always use RAM media which does not require this step. The thing I really liked about this model is the ability to treat it very much like a VCR recorder. Movie is playing - you walk up and hit the record button - it records. No on screen decisions to make. When you want to play a dvd - your own recording or a commercial one - you put it in the recorder - close the door - it plays! One word of caution to all my techno not quite savvy boomers - READ THE INSTRUCTIONS when you set this thing up. A few minutes of education will keep you from being VERY frustrated later. The owners manual for this was very good - including diagrams on where the hookups go, etc.
After owning a recorder (and especially at the price of this one) I don't know why anyone would buy just a player. One last word about my Amazon return. This is the first time in MANY purchases from Amazon that I needed to return something, and though I HATE having to go through that stuff Amazon really handled it well. I printed out the return label, took it to the post office and when Amazon received it they credited my account. So don't be afraid to order!!

NOT worth the money........2006-03-16
I bought this MP3 Player as a less expensive replacement for my mini ipod that I accidentally threw away a while ago. I ended up returning it 3 days later. It was not at all what I was expecting. First of all it doesnt look/feel like a high quality product. It is very very light. It is just cheap , flimsy plastic, and I seriously doubt it would survive being dropped a few times. I also hated the way it organized my music. I am used to itunes with my ipod, where you can make playlists and folders. On this player there is basically no organization. You just have to download the music in the order you want to listen to it. And I had trouble even getting my music onto it. For example, I would try to download a file with 13 songs on it. It would say that it had downloaded with no problems, but when I turned on the player on, only 4 songs would have gotten onto it. I don't know why....maybe I was doing something wrong, but that happened every single time. I also thought the accessories that came with it were pretty useless. The protective cover was difficult to get on, and didn't even fit very well. It covered up the batter door, so you would have to take it off just to change the battery. The neck strap was just a plastic string. The earbuds were just ridiculous. I thought I had gotten a defective pair, because the wire on one of the earbuds was about 3 inches. The wire on the other was about 2 feet. I emailed the company, and it turns out they are made that way, purposely, so that you can wrap the longer one around your neck...which made absolutely NO sense to me. I recommend NOT getting this MP3 Player. It isn't worth the money, or the hassle of returning it. I recommend spending a little more money, and getting an Ipod. I got a refurbished one for $200 on Ebay. I give the player 2 stars. If you absolutely have to buy this player, get in at Overstock.com for $100 less. Be ready for major problems when you want to return it, though :o)
No customer support.......2005-07-07
I've owned an iRiver ifp series player for over a year. I've been pleased in general with their operation except for the issue that when the unit breaks (which yours may or may not) iRiver has no facilities to repair a unit beyond its warranty period.
On the plus side:
+ Small size
+ Long battery life with single AA battery.
+ No OEM battery that can't be replaced
+ Audio good, and EQ settings very flexible
+ Many changable option features
+ Software can be flash upgraded
On the negative side:
- The software for loading the device is only fair. The unit can supposedly be modified by software to act as an external drive, but I have not tried this.
- The need for an external cable is a hassle, nicer if it could just plug into a USB port without a cable
- FM radio is not very sensitive. Only local stations are heard. The earphone cord is the antenna, so this accounts for the lack of sensitivity. The stereo decoding takes about 10db more signal so only strong signals will be heard in stereo
But, I bought this unit as an MP3 player, so the FM aspect isn't that important.
NOW... FOR THE MAJOR PROBLEM WITH IRIVER.....
I had my unit for a little over a year. One day, while playing music, the unit just quit, and the display went dead. Checking for the obvious problems, like a dead battery, nothing seemed to be wrong with the unit EXCEPT that it wouldn't turn on or do anything.
I sent multiple emails to iRiver and received no reply. I called their 800 number, and was informed that "they do not have a servive center, and make no repairs of the flash players"
I cannot give any higher rating than two stars to a company that charges $150-200 for a product and then expects it to just be thrown away as they don't service their product.
Apparently, if the unit is still in warranty, they can send out a new unit as a replacement, but beyond the warranty period, you're out of luck as iRiver won't touch the unit.
Buy iRiver at your own risk.
iRiver 512 is sweet!.......2005-03-31
Ok, I've owned a number of mp3 players, and iFP 195T 512mb version is simply elegant.
Perfect size for any activity. Sound quality second to none (less one comment below), screen navigation control is as good as it gets (it's a tiny screen after all folks...), clear display in any light, FM is a nice bonus though rarely use it.
Downsides for the purist:
1. Earbuds are worthless-- but then I've yet to meet someone who uses of the factory shipped headsets of any mp3 player (except for my ipod friends). Sony earbuds of any variety are awesome (nough said).
2. Armband for jogging is OK, though I've heard some folks complain about the fit (nitpicking to say the least).
3. Hey, it's a tiny screen folks! Navigation is not hard to figure out. Seen a lot worst on top rated mp3 players. Upside: Even big fingers can work this one.
4. Required software is a bit annoying, but the Mac and PC versions work adequately well.
Personal opinion - 512mb is the smallest space a person should consider for an mp3 player (period). 256mb is way to small for anything but a few decent CD's worth of music. I find even the 512mb is too small, given that 512mb only allows about 8 or so full CD's in my case. Almost wish I'd held out for the 1gb version instead.
Enjoy!
