iLO DVDR05 DVD-Recorder

Pro: It puts out reliable recordings in 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, & 8 hour mode.

Contra: Remote control is small.

Fazit: I picked 4 stars for durability because I had to pick something but I can't really comment on that until after a few years.

Beurteilung: I made sure to find a model marked MU1 after reading reviews online. This recorder is replacing a GoVideo Recorder that only lasted 1 year and 4 months before it failed. I can say from experience that this recorder has a lot of improvements from...

Pro: Good unit for what it is for the price.

Contra: Died after 12 months. No extended warranty available.

Beurteilung: My initial review rated this as a good machine, however 1 month after the warranty expired, so did the unit. So you may want to consider another DVD recorder with a little better quality and get an extended warranty.

Pro: Good looking output from the component signals Good price Convenient form factor

Contra: Terrible remote design Setup instructions and process tedious, but do-able

Beurteilung: I did several hours of 'net research for reviews on this model. There were two extreme camps: Great and Awful. The awful camp seemed to have faulty units out of the box and early production runs, so I took a chance at WalMart. I have an HDTV...

Pro: the format is nice

Contra: junk. beware it may happen to you

Beurteilung: i may have gotten a bad model but this thing is a piece of junk.it sticks and wont record and sometimes gets stuck while viewing. im sure it must be a lemon because i cant see anyone buying this piece of junk.im only writing this out of frustration...

Pro: The price, very cheap.

Contra: Remote is too small.

Beurteilung: So far I have had minimal problems. A couple of times the DVD has skipped, but that was easily solved by hitting the rewind button.

I was not aware that the TV tuner was not in stereo. I have my Ilo hooked up to my stereo TV with RCA...

Pro: Easy to operate in play mode, light weight

Contra: can't get record function to work

Fazit: It works just fine for playing DVDs but I probably would not buy it again.

Beurteilung: We bought this late in 2006. We decided to get the RW so that we could record as well as just play DVDs but I have not had any success at getting it to record. Granted I have not spent a great deal of time on it because I get frustrated and give up...

Pro: Easy Manual to read, good recorded picture and sound quality, timer works well.

Contra: Difficulty editing titles. Could be easier to navigate through menus and writing titles.

Beurteilung: Great Player when it just plays back DVDs. However, when I went to test it out on how well it records, I had problems. I recorded about 8 different clips with EP mode, three of which were 1 hour long and the rest less than 15 min. I had edited the...

Pro: Low cost, easy to operate, works great, front panel IEEE 1394 input.

Contra: Only supports the "DVD+R/RW" format, Small, difficult to read remote, Tuner not in stereo.

Fazit: This is an excellent choice for a first DVD recorder. It has all the functions needed, and is easy for a novice to operate.

Beurteilung: I received an ILO DVDR05MU1. This is my first stand-alone DVD recorder. This recorder is intended to record programs off television, as well as create DVDs from my Digital Camcorder. Here we will explore both options.

Note: The MU1...

Pro: Nice quality both sound and picture.

Contra: Compatibility an issue on older players. Lack of good edit features/menu options.

Beurteilung: The quality of recordings is rather good... only one problem, they don't play back on older players. I tested several DVDs, a few brands of DVD blanks, and even a few different firmware versions in the unit itself including the newest version sent...

Pro: not great at first and gets worse shortly after the warranty is up!

Contra: Up in smoke after warranty period no matter if it was hardly used!

Beurteilung: This inexpensive dvd recorder seemed perfect for my budget so I jumped in and bought it. There is something to be said for you get what you pay for, because right after the warranty was up the thing self-destructed and in a years time I had only...
