Remanufactured GoVideo R6640 DVD Recorder and Player

Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The remanufactured GoVideo R6640's high-quality recording ability and easy operation make it a nice replacement for your VCR. The slender, high-styled component also excels as a DVD player, especially when used with today's high-definition and HD-ready TVs. As a recorder, the R6640 lets you capture your favorite television shows and archive your treasured home videos to long-lasting DVD+R (write-once) and DVD+RW (rewriteable) discs. The recorder's built-in NTSC TV tuner and onscreen user interface permit up to eight timer recordings over a period of a month, with five recording speeds providing between one and six hours of content on each DVD disc. It includes DoMiNoFX, too: a patented video-processing technology that digitally enhances and refines the picture quality during recording. This results in visibly superior recordings, and a dramatic improvement when recording from noisy source material, such as VHS tapes or weak TV signals.

The R6640's versatile playback features include progressive-scan video outputs and support for recordable CDs filled with MP3 audio files and JPEG images. A variety of video and audio inputs--including front-panel connections for fast, temporary hookups--grant connection to virtually all televisions and home theater components. An easy-to-use full-function remote control commands all the action.

The R6640 comes with GoVideo's innovative AutoPlay feature, designed to skips ads, trailers, and menus and jump right to the start of your movie. Simply place the disc in the tray, press the play key, and the movie starts without interruption. Further, an innovative feature called YourDVD automatically searches for your preferences every time you load a DVD. The player will find and select your preferred audio, subtitle, and surround sound settings (if available) so you don't have to wade through menus to set them up yourself.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the R6640 stands ready to deliver the full playback potential of your DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

Connections include a pair of composite- and S-video inputs, an RF antenna input, and an IEEE 1394 DV (digital video) input for a direct, high-quality connection with a digital camcorder.

DVD+RW discs require no finalizing: you can record, eject, and play them with minimal fuss, thanks to "background formatting." This feature, which lowers total burning time, is an advantage over the "dash" formats. Other DVD+RW advantages include on-disc content editing and multisession writing. Plus, through DVD+RW and DVD+R's compatibility with most existing DVD players, they offer a great way for you to share your special memories with family and friends.

3 out of 5 stars So / So not a very reliable machine, but not very expensive either... ???.......2006-06-14

I got this unit last december from overstock.cm - as a refurbished clearance item - for under 90 bucks.

It worked great for about a month , but then, and now , once it is 'warmed up' after a couple of hours use, it somehow digitizes my s-video input / output , making a very 'jerky' picture. Powering unit off and on again fixes the problem temporarily. Recordings on the timer are iffy and - i think results are almost always quite dependent on the blank media you use, I got very cheap dvd-r's and dvd-rw's from neweggg.cm and both work efficiently.

You get what you pay for in this case.

3 out of 5 stars Does What It's Supposed to Do.......2006-03-14

You have to be practically sitting on top of it for the remote control to work. Also, it's a bit clunky and I'm always having to consult the instructions because I can't remember what button to push when. However the recording is not bad and DVD's made on it can play on other DVD players so I don't regret buying it. I will, however, look at other companies when I decide to upgrade.
