I cannot figure out how to go about finalizing my discs.

I only have good things to say about this piece of equipment. It has superb recording quality, it looks good, and it works flawlessly everytime I use it. I got mine for Christmas and I am doing some serious recording of my favorite shows and movies. I wont even have to buy the Seinfeld dvd collection because it comes on tv 4 times a day and all I have to do is pop in a dvd-r and hit record! After finalizing my discs, I have been able to play them in every dvd player in my home, including my computer. It took a little time for me to understand all the directions in the users guide but other than that, the basic recording features of this machine is simple to follow. All I have used so far are dvd-rs, Fuji brand and TDK brand (because to my knowledge, dvd+r wont work with this equipment). Plus dvd-rs are relatively cheap nowadays(Circuit City and Best Buy run weekly ads for $6.99 - $7.99 for a 25 pack). A dvd-rw comes in the package so it gives you a little something to practice with, so if you make a mistake, the dvd-rw can be erased! I love my dvd recorder/vcr combo.

oh boy where do i begin..i had more problems with sound transfer than anything else.pretty much all the dvds i made had a static sound in the background.and a couple the sound would go up and down.now lets not forget this is a vcr/dvd recorder combo so theres no wires connecting the two
also the were other problems when sometimes the dvd would not play on my other dvd player.i did not forget to finalize the disc and it would in fact play on my computers dvd player proving that.
other times when i was done recording in slp for 6 HOURS!!! when i would press stop to stop recording it would pop up on the screen "disc error" basicly meaming i had just wasted 6 hours of my time.and it would not just do that in slp but sp mode as well. also when it would do this the dvd recorder would just freeze.i could not eject the dvd,turn off the power or anything.i would have to unplug it and plug it back in to get it going again.
there was one last problem with this combo.it was way to sensitive.if my video would flicker just a little bit the dvd recorder would stop recording thinking the tape was at the end. come on there are no perfect video tapes out there.once they get a year or so old vhs tapes begin having problems.thats why dvds were created.so if your old family home video is not perfect your screwed basicly.
i never finished my recording project with this piece of junk. insteed i got a refund and used the money to buy a sony rdr-gx300 . it was a tad bit more money (like 40 dollars more) but well worth it as ive had no problems and i am infact done with my recording project
lesson for today is .... stick with brands youve heard of and are well respected..i gave the new guys a chance and was burned.. i think dealing with it gave me high blood preasure:)

I originally bought a Samsung Combo Recorder only to have it come out of the box broken! I then bought this Broksonic on the reccomendation of a friend that owns the exact same model. WHAT A GREAT MACHINE!!! Not one error, one messed-up disc, or one bad thing to say about it! I HIGHLY RECCOMEND IT if you want a quality recorder at a great price! Circuit City carries this model and I bought mine there last week for $229 plus tax! So far I am very happy with it. My friend has had his for about six or eight months and just raves about it! He says that it works better than his $1000 Phillips and that it performs flawlessly EVERY TIME! What else is there to say?
