I think the newer DVD players, if one checks if it lists that it is compatible with DVD-R / -RW or DVD+R / +RW, one can be just fine. My DVD player is older, so there is a chance it isn't compatible with any recordable DVD formats. (This recorder records in +R/+RW only)
The player works great! It has many recording speeds, HQ 1 hour, SP 2 hour, EP #?, ELP#?, and SLP 6 hour. I couldn't tell a big difference in HQ vs. SP, so I will most likely use SP. The 6 hour quality is worse than VCD, but the other modes come out real nice. (I would guess the EP or ELP may be in the VCD or digital-VHS like quality area) I did a test from a VCR SP recording and also live off my TV cable and it looks very good, though a TV source is near NTSC 320x240, and DVD is 640x480 or so, it is amazing to capture the TV on a digital disc, for collection purposes.
The RW disc is nice because you don't have to finalize the disc, just record and you are done, there are a few seconds when you STOP the recording, but it worked much like my VCR as to starting the recording, and pausing.
A neat surprise, the deck came with a leather case with empty sleeves for DVDs, and it came with 3 free +RW discs! It included batteries for the remote, and also had a AV cable and an RF cable for connections. I was happy to be surprised by the extra items. The recorder also has its own TV tuner, for live or timer recordings and multiple inputs.
I have a collection of cartoons I have gathered over the years on tape and have dearly wanted to put them on a recordable DVD, but have been waiting for prices to come down in the players. I was so glad when this recorder came available!
