Sanyo HVR-DX610

Easy to use, effective and simple interface

No DVD-R recording, limited outputs, basic feature set

A great option for users who don't wish to blow their budget on big features and overblown functionality, the HVR-DX610 is a grass roots level recorder, with an emphasis on basic but very solid performance.

the fact that it records as well as copies from VCR to DVD

After warranty runs out (about a week after) the thing wont receive TV signals so you cannot view what it records.

The convenience of turning your old VCR's into DVD's or to 'back up' the kids movies for when they get wrecked, also to copy TV shows to either disc or video, depending on how much you wanted to watch the particular show

Getting Parts for the DVD, after the Warranty runs out. Cost $449 new, to get the DVD Module fixed $250!!!
