Discs wouldn't play back properly in nearly every DVD player that I tried them in this includes players that will happily play discs recorded in a different recorder, and without any playback problems. This could be due to the usual problems of trying to play self-made discs in DVD players many weren't designed for recordable discs, nor the DVD - VR format used by this recorder on them , or that the recorder doesn't adequately burn to the discs this notion seems supported by the inability of other decks to even detect anything on various discs recorded by this machine, even though they're designed to be able to handle all of the current variations of DVD formats.
I've tried just about all the discs that I can buy locally, including the expensive brand name ones, so if it requires something special it's useless to me. All the channels are badly tuned in at the default they're supposedly preset to the standard frequencies , and channel 10 is overloaded by the sound carrier to the point that the picture is blacked out.
Manual fine-tuning restores reception to channel 10, but all channels give poor pictures over-peaked edges unless detuned to the point where the chroma signal is distorted, and the manual tuning is quite poor it only steps in rather large increments, and you can only see a small preview window while fine-tuning. The recorder interferes with its own tuner, making very noticeable distortions to the picture.
It's easily demonstrated, you can make them come and go by toggling pause on and off while recording. Recording length may not be long enough for some things. The high quality mode only records around one hour, the standard quality mode two hours. Sound quality is markedly inferior to the original source, it lacks a lot of the sibilance.
This is inferior to HiFi video tapes recordings, but still a lot better than the non- HiFi ones mono or linear stereo. The thumbnail pictures it uses for each title recorded on the disc are taken from the first frame that's grabbed, giving what's usually a useless thumbnail for the recording, instead of taking one from somewhere within the title, where it could really be representative of what the recording was even more so if you could pick what frame to use yourself.
You only get one thumbnail per title, you don't get thumbnails for the chapter marks within a title. It's unpredictable how long it will take to start recording.
It takes longer to start if the disc wasn't already spinning. The disc keeps spinning for a while after an operation, then spins down. Deliberately waking it up will delay you even more before you can begin recording. You could miss anything from a few seconds to half a minute from the start of something that you wanted to record, and there's no way to erase the machine's blunders and re-do recordings on non-rewritable discs, not to mention it being impossible to fix up missing the start of something that cannot be repeated live television, or recording live action to disc.
It takes about twenty seconds to stop recording it closes off the current file, and makes it playable. During this time you can't do anything else with the machine. The aforementioned graphical onscreen interface, which Lite-On calls EasyGuider, makes recording real-time video from any of the recorder's inputs a snap.
Unlike more expensive competitors, however, the LVW doesn't have an electronic programming guide or an IR blaster, and it lacks even VCR Plus for shortcut timer recordings. Those with an off-air antenna or an analog cable can use the built-in tuner to manually schedule as many as five recordings at a time, including repeat monthly and weekly sessions, but satellite and digital-cable viewers will have to jump through familiar hoops--namely, leaving the box powered on to the correct channel--to record their programs.
As always, a longer recording time means lower video quality. For recordings in the one-hour and two-hour modes, video quality was impressive and far beyond that of any VCR. Resolution exceeded horizontal lines, and video was largely free of motion artifacts. Those looking for optimal video quality will want to record from the S-Video or FireWire input using either of the top two modes.
Recorded discs have few customization options. The menus are bland, and you're stuck with the screen grab from the opening second as the thumbnail for each title. Program titles can be edited but are limited to eight characters. Adding or deleting TV channel manually 1. Page Recording Check our website for the list of qualified discs.
