GoVideo R6530 - Would be an OK unit - if it worked.

bygtff Jan 12, 2004
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Price, good feature set, jpeg-capable, tech support readily available
Cons small remote with too-small buttons, tacky design, unreliable burning
Recommended it? No

I just sent back my second GoVideo R6530. Consistant problems of unpredictable frequent repeated skipping, sometimes several chapters at a time. First one did it on two different brands of DVD+RW blanks, including the one that came with the unit. Thought it was just a dud unit and sent it back to... Read full review »

Don't "Go" There

Cons Missing features, quirky user interface.
Recommended it? No

I bought the Go Video/Sonic Blue R6530 DVD recorder as a replacement for my VCR. I wanted a unit that records on DVD+RW discs because I'd read that you can play DVD+RWs in most DVD players without formatting or finalizing, both time-consuming processes. That makes the reusable DVD+RW discs just as... Read full review »

Setting the record straight.

Pros Video quality.
Cons Aggressive copy protection.
Recommended it? Yes

After seeing so many complaints, I knew I had to post and set the record straight on this DVD recorder. I purchased this machine used about eight months ago, so I have a fair bit of experience with it. I have also used several other similar devices from Sony's competitors. All of the competitors'...

Expensive for such a mixed bag

bynuju May 1, 2007
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Good output quality.
Cons Violates user's legitimate Fair Educational Use copyright entitlements
Recommended it? No

The titleing using the remote is a pain in the neck. The discs take nigh on to forever before they "load" for playback.

Quality, however is decent, although I learned the hard way you can't record on any DVD's except Sony DVD's, which is annoying as all-get-out.

Additionally the... Read full review »
