Amazon.com Product Description

Play your favorite DVD movies and record TV programs onto DVD with one component: the Lite-On LVW5001 DVD player/recorder combo. The LVW5001 enables you to burn your own DVDs from a TV source, a DV camcorder, or any other A/V device. You'll get impressively clear video playback from this progressive-scan DVD player. In addition to DVDs and audio CDs, the LVW5001 is also compatible with VCDs, SVCDs, JPEG still images, and MP3 audio files.

A unique feature among DVD recorders, the LVW-5001 comes with a DV-Link (IEEE 1394) connection port that allows you to connect the recorder to a digital video camcorder and digitalize video clips into DVD format that can be preserved forever. In addition, the LVW-5001 uses the LSI-8600 Multimedia Image Processing Chipset to maximize the image quality of recorded programs as well as digital camcorder clips.

The LVW5001 records to DVD+R/RW (it is not compatible with DVD-R/RW) and has four quality modes: HQ (1 hour, 9.5 Mbps bit rate), SP (2 hours, 5.1 Mbps), EP (4 hours, 2.5 Mbps), and SLP (6 hours, 1.7 Mbps).

The back of the LVW5001 has the following connections: RF in/out ports, S-Video in/out, RCA in/out, component-video out, digital out, and optical out.

1 out of 5 stars Doesn't last.......2005-04-29

I purchased this recorder depending on Lite-on's great name. Unfortuneately right after the warrenty ran out the recorder died. I didn't use it very much at all.It stopped reading DVD +/-R and would only record on DVD+RW for 1 minute before failing. For a Lite-on I expected a lot more than 14 months of minimal use before dying. While it worked it worked great. I would buy an extended warrenty on my next recorder. The life span is too short for the money.

2 out of 5 stars If it would only continue to work.......2005-03-04

I purchased this unit in June 2004 for Father's Day. I loved it. We burned over 200 DVDs with only a few problems. Then after 6 months of use we started noticing a few problems here and there. First it would skip in playback mode, then it not allow me to finalize the DVD, then it recorded the video just fine and dropped the audio.

After 8 months of use, I selected "open" to eject the disk, out came the disk along with a smaller white foam/rubber disk. It was the piece that helps to hold down the DVD while reading and recording (I assume). I took it back to the store (had the extended warranty)and they gave me a new one to replace it. It was DOA right out of the box ("Fail" came up on the LED screen).
I've definitely lost my confidence in Lite-On. Too bad, it was a great unit while it worked.

4 out of 5 stars Nice, Affordable DVD Recorder.......2005-02-12

I bought this unit for my family for Christmas. I was looking for something affordable and easy to use, and something that would produce nice quality. This unit meets those requirements very well. Some here have complained that they have to turn the unit off and back on to make a recording "take", or some such thing. If you read through the directions, it is very easy to learn how to "finalize" a disc after recording it. The only thing lacking on this machine, as far as my purposes go, is the ability to use DVD/-R media. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a sensible, everyday machine.

5 out of 5 stars Great product & price Totally recommended.......2004-11-07

This is my first review on Amazon & I'm only doing this to counteract the brainless knuckleheads who give products on Amazon bad reviews they don't deserve. Almost anything listed on Amazon has undeserved bad reviews from these morons which helps screw up purchase decisions made by people like you & me who use these reviews to help decide whether to purchase anything.
Anyway, the bottom line is this a great and super easy to use very inexpensive DVD recorder (I got mine for $169 new from one of the chain stores)and a moron could figure how to use it in 5 minutes- its that easy and simple, ignore what some of the idiots said here. It copies old VHS tapes to DVD and TV broadcats to DVD with great results & total ease. This DVD recorder burns DVD+R & DVD+RW discs, which is what I've always used anyway. As it copies and records in real time, you should get & use the cheapest DVD+RW discs (I can get them for less than 30 cents each) as it takes the same time to record on a 1X disc as it does a 8X disc. Also you do not need to finalize DVD+RW discs but you do need to finalize DVD+R discs, so there clearly is an advantage using a DVD+RW disc here which as I said are available at the 1X speed super cheap.

2 out of 5 stars Quality issues.......2004-09-23

I got the rebranded Gateway version of this DVD+ recorder while it was on sale. I have a Panasonic DVD-R recorder which is much better: better picture quality, better reliability, and better user interface. Also, DVD "minus" discs are much more compatible with DVD players than DVD "plus," although if you have a new player, it should have no trouble with either format.

The real problem with the Lite-On/Gateway is build quality. The player feels cheap, and it does tend to get hot as some reviewers have pointed out, which is a problem for those of us wanting to keep it in an entertanment center. You literally need to put an AC next to it to cool it during long recordings. Also, my particular unit broke after a few months, so I don't have much confidence in this brand.

You might be better served with a Panasonic or Toshiba, which will offer better quality and reliability (important for DVD recordings) at a reasonable price.

          This adapter works very well. I would definitely recommend it. Mostly, I am grateful because having this adapter gives me more options when choosing a cell phone headset.

          4 out of 5 stars great product.......2007-12-16

          This is a life saver. I hate bluetooth devices. I needed to be hands free for driving and household use. This product uses the old version of hands free without the bad connection of bluetooth. I highly recommend it.

          1 out of 5 stars Not-shielded? Awful audio quality.......2007-11-26

          I ordered one of these direct from Motorola (same SYN1505A model number). I *am* using a cellular headset - a Plantronics MX505 (one poster guessed that it was only a problem with headsets intended for cordlesss phones) and the audio quality was still awful on it.

          I could hear the other person fine (although a bit quiet), but the other person heard audio crackling and buzzing and static. Removing the adapter and talking through the phone itself went back to being fine. Just awful. I returned it immediately. Shame on Motorola - usually pretty decent for quality - for not shielding this, or whatever they did to make it dreadful.

          1 out of 5 stars Do not buy.......2007-10-23

          I bought it for use with my RAZR. It definitely has a loud buzz in it, so you get what you pay for (1 cent?).

          5 out of 5 stars needed this for RAZR.......2007-09-27

          Anyone who's bought a RAZR recently knows you can't find wired headphones for them. The Motorola S200s are awful, cheaply made and don't work. This adapter and the similar 3.5 version are the only way to listen to the music on your RAZR, short of a pricier Bluetooth set. I use an LG headset with this one that lets me answer calls, but there are a few 2.5 sets out there. These adapters work great, giving RAZR owners a viable alternative.
