I chose between 3 DVDR’s and mainly chose this one because I had no DVD Compatibility issues. One of the other recorders had to be unplugged when it licked up reading certain DVDs.
I have not updated the firmware and am content thus far.
Recorded DVD’s play fine on any of my players. DVD+R’s need to be stopped before they run out of space or htey don’t close the session properly, but DVD+RW’s you can hit record and let it run til it is out of space…the longest is around 6.5 hours. Most modes will record 10-30 minutes past their 1/2/3/4/6 hour specs.
Not many reviews on this DVDR, and if you read the R6530 reviews it is unsettling. I was going for the name and got lucky with this model…
I wish this price range afforded for Component input and Decoded Dolby 5.1, and had a USB for cameras and storage devices, but for the price I am content. There is a contender out there (probably a 10) that I think would satisfy all the above in the same range, but I’ll let you find it. I have it’s little brother player (10) and am quite happy with every aspect of its performance.
