Is the DVD a recorder or just a player?

These are re-manufactured and are as new as new can get, but, I assume the build them from New Old Stock parts as old as 2008. Mine arrived with with a recorder player, Wi-Fi and Windows 7. Great commercial grade machine. I am in the process of getting another. Hope it's as great as the first.

To be honest, I don't know. We don't use the DVD part of the computer. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

The one I have is only a vcr/dvd player and does not record. I am sure you can purchase one that will record but I only wanted one that was a player because I have a lot of vcr's and dvds; so I didn't have a reason to buy a recorder. I hope this answers your question!

It's not a recorder. It's just a multi-region player. If you are just looking for a multi region Dvd Player, "their great. I have two of them. Tuner ? I couldn't tell you, I don't know.

No it's just a DVD player. Both my kids use them & never had any problems. Great buy esp for the price.

Never tried them with a computer, only a CD to CD recorder. But I have been told those I have recorded do not always play back on a DVD player, only on a CD player. Also my recorder will not record a copy I have made. It only records from an original CD. It records well regular or high speed on my machine.

I believe that you can record on either the VCR or the DVD, but having said this please note that I returned this device because it did not work as expected.

no it only copies what you recorded to dvd if it's hooked up to a dvd recorder

Bud Bundy is right, it is personal preference and also what works best if you intend on playing recorded disks on another player. I use the -R and -RW disks, because this format is more compatible with most DVD players - especially if you have an older one you want to play your recordings on. Eventhough the -R can only be recorded once, I'll use it for things I want to keep and have no intention of recording over. The -RW I use for everyday use and a good quality disk is supposed to allow you at least 2000 recordings. I hear Verbatims are very good quality, but I've been using Maxell & Memorex , because that's what I had on hand. Has worked excellent for me.

There is a cd/dvd player & I've ripped music from cd's but not sure how I would tell if it is a burner. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

that's a little confusing but I think what you're saying is dvd output to DVD recorder I believe it will work but copyright stuff probably won't copy

It's for PC not a stand alone recorder. You have to get a DVD recorder if they still make one.

No....this unit does NOT record, you have to simply purchase and run this device through a DVD/VCR Recorder...and connect the VCR/DVD unit to a monitor. That is what works for me... its low tech but it gets the job done and gets you results!

Hi Andrew, the DVD recorder has the capability to record 2 hours or more depending on the recording mode used. -Vincent

No, this is not a DVD recorder. This unit can only play back DVD. Only the VHS part of this device can record

It is a player and recorder. I highly recommend this. It is great quality recording.

No, it's not a DVD player and it's not a device for pirating DVDs. It's a digital video recorder. It can record from cable or over-the-air broadcasts so you can watch shows later when you want. When you are watching live TV through it, you can pause, rewind, and fast forward the show (though obviously you can't fast-forward into the future, nor in most cases to before you started watching). It learns what shows you like and can record ones you might like so you'll have something to watch on demand, within the limits of the hard disk capacity.

yes, it records on both, not at the same time. And it can switch back and forth between if you want to record something on one and the next thing on the dvd.
