Product Rating: 1.00 star(s) Liteon recorder woes.

by BRS , Jul. 23, 2006
Comments:
I have owned two LITEON recorders(I won't own a third). The first a LVW5005 & the second a LVW5005x.
The first recorder wouldn't eject diskettes.
The second recorder stopped recording to DVD-R(although it can still read a DVD I had previously recorded.)
The setup changes back to default settings when the on off switch is depressed.
The unit overheats after a brief time period.
The remote control stopped working.
Email to tech support received no response.
Attempt to download a firmware upgrade didn't work.
Bottom line: If you want an inexpensive unit that malfunctions after a short period of time, whose support is non existant,right on with LITEON!!!

QuickTake:

Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: Happiness with low price is short lived.
Has Owned Product: 4 Month(s)

Comments:
So a bunch of us reporter types were sitting around CES 2003, and we kept hearing that recordable DVD finally stood poised to replace the VCR, since the prices had come down to the $600 range. Marketing people are paid to make these unrealistic claims wit...
