Dadio, I have asked about this DVD recorder before and eveybody has said it a POS! When you record on that DVD recorder from the DVD player, the picture has lines in from what I've heard. There is hacked firmware updates for ti that get rid of those lines. thanks for the info, I was just weating unitll someone has actually tried one before I though about one. I have seen a Pioneer DVD recorder there to like $200. Also at that same store they had the same Pioneer system that I have only the reaer speakers are wireless and it comes with the same DVD recorder I was just talking about from PIoneer. I got my with a DVD player and regualr reser speaker for $400 (on sale from $500 from Costco) At Walmart, that system was $648. So Id rather pay for the DVD recorder itself
