Good recorder for disappearing media. September 10, 2005
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
This is a very good recorder with strong editing capabilities. Both the DVD-R & RW format disks offer track-editing options suitable for basic or more event-specific recordings from several sources. Recording from VHS often rewards you with a quality that in fact appears better than the original.
It has a quirk regarding the cooling fan which is easy to circumvent. What you can not work around however is its inability to function outside of 4X media. Though you may have an easier time with 2X or 1X, the proper media is DVD-R 4X (MAX) 4.7GB for this machine. You will not find this information easy to come by otherwise. Such 4X disks appear close to extinction, as they have often been replaced in catalogs and on shelves by 1x-8x disks -- DO NOT BUY THESE -- which are not compatible with this machine. There are no firmware upgrades available for this model.
If you have a stack of 4X max. disks on hand or know a source that can provide you with such media, then you will be quite satisfied. Without a firmware upgrade however, this recorder will soon suffer a fate not unlike death.

I don't know if the machine works well or not...I couldn't find a DVD it recognized to record on...It didn't accept an HP or a Maxell, both of which specs matched the requirements in the manual.
I gave up after the Maxell and returned the machine,,,I replaced it with a less expensive Lite-on with the All Write system...I highly recommend a multi-format machine, They're a lot easier to use and less expensive to buy blank discs for.
 The worst piece of equiptment..... September 2, 2005

I purchased this recorder and it never even worked coming out of the box. It won't read the media and now Sharp wants me to mail it into them. Should've purchased from a local retailer so I don't have to deal with additional shipping. This is horrible.
I wish I could go less that 1 star November 28, 2006

Absoulute garbage. I should have know better that to go Sharp so it serves me right that this DVD "recorder" only succesfully records half of the time and the other half it steals your money for the blank DVDs you buy.
I've had this thing for a year and a half and it's been nothing but trouble. There is no indication on the packaging that only 4X DVDs are required. After you search and search and finally find 4X DVDs(I had to get mine online) this thing turns half of them into coasters. No matter what brand DVD-R you use, it will only work half the time and you won;t know until after you think you've finished the recording.
And if it's after 90 days, forget it. Sharp charges you to send it to them, for a diagnostics, and estimate and repair.
The worst thing I ever bought in my entire life.
