Lite-On LVW-5005 review: Lite-On LVW-5005

 

Lite-On LVW-5005

Records on all four major DVD formats; FireWire connection for DV camcorder hookup; easy-to-use menu system; relatively inexpensive.

Cannot control cable or satellite boxes; so-so video playback quality; dull styling.

The Lite-On LVW-5005 provides no-frills DVD recording at an affordable price.

In the final analysis, the Lite-On LVW-5005 is a perfectly serviceable DVD recorder if you're not looking for a feature set that's any more elaborate than your VCR's. Sticklers for video playback quality will want to look elsewhere, but camcorder...

Lite-On bills the LVW-5005 as a practical all-in-one solution for both DVD recording and playback, but does it offers enough features to deliver upon the hype?

The LVW-5005's real story is its painless multi-format magnanimity and relative ease of use. If pricing remains competitive, some additional features and refinements could make a future Lite-On DVD recorder the stepping stone of choice for a generation...

LiteOn LVW-5005 is already on the market at various prices between $260~320, which appears rational. But since the market of this kind of devices is growing rapidly, prices will be significantly lowered in not so distant future.
