Amazon.com Product Description
Samsung's DVD-TR520 dual-tray DVD recorder is a great way to share recorded memories with friends or family. With two DVD trays, the DVD-TR520 allows users to copy non-copy-protected material directly from disc to disc. With 4x to 8x speed copy, two hours of content can be copied in as little as 30 minutes, while the digital-to-digital interface ensures superb, high-picture quality every time. The DVD-TR520 records onto either DVD-RAM or DVD-R/RW discs, and it provides a front panel composite AV input as well as Firewire (IEEE 1394) port for connecting a digital video camcorder to the unit for recording directly to disc. It's also compatible with playback of CD-R/RW discs with MP3 and JPEG digital content.
You'll be able to record up to 16-hours of video with a double sided 9.4 GB DVD-RAM disc, and up to 8-hours of images with a 4.7 GB DVD-RAM/-RW/-R disc (depending on the recording mode). You can set your recorder to one of four different recording speeds, each varying in recording quality and length. EP (6 or 8 hour) mode yields the most recording time, LP and SP modes provide less recording time with higher quality recording (between 2 and 4 hours), and XP mode gives you the highest quality recording. If FR mode is selected, the video quality is adjusted automatically so that all video for the scheduled time can be recorded onto the free disc space. Recording features include an auto chapter creator and one-touch direct copy button (for disc to disc recording).
The DVD-TR520 also offers 10-bit 54-MHz DAC and 2D Y/C separating circuitry for high-quality video recording and playback. It provides optical and coaxial digital audio outputs for Dolby Digital and DTS multi-channel surround sound, as well as a selectable progressive-scan mode for smoother video with HD-compatible TVs via the component video output. It also offers the following video connections:
- Composite AV (RCA) In: 2
- Composite AV (RCA) Out: 1
- S-Video Out: 1
- RF: input and output (tuner pass through only)
Note: This DVD player is designed to play "Region 1" pre-recorded DVDs only, and internal dubbing of copy-protected DVDs is not possible.

Response to customer review.......2007-12-23
The customer review for SAMSUNG DVD-TR520 DUAL DRIVE DVD RECORDER was very helpful in me determining whether to buy one. I was contemplating on buying a dual drive recorder for the purpose of recording DVD to DVD until I read his/her review. As I read the technical portion of it that this recorder only plays back Region 1, that may be the problem why the copy version does not play. If it copies from a region free DVR & it only records & play back on a Region 1 version, that could be the problem. I had that problem with my portable DVD player. In my research I found that I recorded from a region free disk but my portable recorder would only play back for Region 1 disk. I then had to buy a region free portable DVD player so I could play my recorded DVRs. Thanks to the customer review. Renee W.
Not as good as it should be.......2007-02-20
I was hoping to get both a DVD recorder and a DVD duplicator in one. It works okay as a recorder, but it's not a very good duplicator. I've found it doesn't duplicate reliably. About 5% of the time the duplicated discs will not play, especially if the disc is full. It's not the media, since the same media works perfectly on my 3 to 1 tower duplicator. It's better to get a cheaper DVD recorder and a tower duplicator. You can get both for about the same price or slightly more than this DVD recorder.

Customer Reviews:
Two WD800 HD failures at 2.5 year mark.......2005-12-30
I must concur with the previous negative reviews of this HD. My husband bought a Western Digital 80G HD in spring 03 and the motor failed Dec 05. My computer came OEM with a Western Digital 80G in Summer of 03 and it failed 2 wweeks after the other one. Motor again. Drive had 20+ gigs of wedding and baby photos. Irreplaceable. Both computers were UPS protected and medium to light use. Mine was 100% original, used only for email and photo storage (and a little solitaire). No power robbing add-ons, no ventilation issues.
If your data is important to you DO NOT BUY this drive, and I would question any WD product if this is how they handle a defective product. I have no axe to grind other than the failure of these two hard drives.
Two Failed WD80 GB HDD in one Year.......2005-06-21
For many years I used and recommended the WD products. I can no longer offer any such advice but would recommend that anyone looking for a quality HDD look elsewhere -- Seagate, Maxtor, Samsung, Hitachi are all superior drives and far more reliable.
Both drives simply suffered meltdown failure of the motors, shorting out the computer Power supply until removed-- two different computers at two different times, both being used moderately, not "heavy office" or workstation use. Western Digital was useless and insisted that such failures are rare and likely due to abuse. They know that the 80 GB Drives are faulty and they refuse to "fess up." The government should order a recall and everyone should get a credit to buy some other brand of drive. Even when HD drives were delicate in the early 80's, I never had any just burn up like these bits of WD paperweights. My current favorite recommendation is the new Seagate 160 GB and 250 GB drives, fast, quiet and reliable.
HD Okay, software not so great.......2005-02-26
I have no problem so far with the HD. It seems to do its job well, and is quite responsive (quicker than my Maxtor). As far as the Data Lifeguard software...apparently due to some Windows updates, I am unable to use my PowerQuest DriveCopy 4.0 to mirror my old drive to the new (a "Disk Manager" conflict). I had to use the Data Lifeguard, and although it did fine, it created a partition that I did not want. It wouldn't allow me to change the partition sizes, or delete the undesired partition. Since I had to get the data copied, I had to go with that, and will have to address the partition issue separately. Anyway, I'm not too thrilled with the Data Lifeguard software, but the drive is fine. It has a very distinct (yet quiet) sound.
Do not buy a Western Digital HD.......2004-06-23
I bought this hard drive thinking it would be good because Western Digital was a good name that you could trust. It works fine for the first 6 months and those of you who just bought it might think I'm dead wrong, but just wait. Everything begins to go wrong, and I've taken every precaution to make sure it stops messing up. Nothing works. I have to reformat every month because it doesn't want to work for some reason. Do NOT get this drive, it will give you fits. And this isn't because I had a defective drive, I exchanged it for a different HD and had similar problems. I recently bought a new hard drive from Maxtor. Maxtor seems to be making good hard drives. I've had no problems with the 160GB drive and it works wonders compared to the WD drive. Those of you looking for a new hard drive, do not be fooled by this one.
Great Drives. . ........2004-02-29
I have tried these hard disks working solo and with RAID, i didn't have any HDD failure, they are fast and quite. What kill's the HDD is the application you are using the HDD for like caching for internet files small size of files and lots of them, this is for sure will destroy the HDD, also there are two impotant things 1. Ventilation 2. Power failure these will reduce the operating life.
