Breaking my own rule

bywholly_cow Jun 16, 2007
15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros All that you pay for and a little more. Good feature set.
Cons S-L-O-W. No HDMI.
Recommended it? No

I have a rule when it comes to electronics. Buy the best. Before buying anything I read a lot, browse a lot, research everything and consider all of the major brands. So how come I've got a Protron PD-DVR100 sitting under my ridiculously overpriced TV? Well it's a long story.

Pro What?!

bybobbyslav Jan 11, 2007
15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros cheap, feature rich, decent playback and recording.
Cons questionable reliability, ugly interface, stolen design.
Recommended it? No

During my usual casual browsing of HHGregg's web site I saw this model on sale for $69. This was just about a week after the latest DVD recorder I bought from Walmart - an RCA, which I kind of liked, but then I didn't, so just that I don't miss on something good I had to run to HHGregg and pick one...

Stay away from this Turkey

byhmullan Feb 4, 2008

Pros Easy to use as long as not broken. Several choices of recording Quality / Length
Cons Non existent support. If it breaks - chuck it.
Recommended it? No

I bought one of these units as the price was excellent and I really wanted to start recording on dics and move away from VHS. I was very impressed how the machine worked, the edit features, the quality of the picture and various options for recording. I especially liked the Factory Reset option... Read full review »

Remote Is a Pain in the A**

byddemmitt Jun 4, 2007
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Editing capabilities; split titles; erase RW unwanted titles
Cons No Closed Caption.. Remote sucks
Recommended it? No

I rather fancy this recorder except that the remote as One person stated Doesn't respond well. And my guess after taking one of these apart was that the circuit board doesn't fasten in very well. I put some (what they call space age foam I guess). Behind the circuit board and that helped for a... Read full review »

Not Worth the Hassle

bymorganhill_mom Jan 14, 2008
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Multiple audio/video options, easy to get live technical support.
Cons Poor documentation, 9 character title limit, somewhat clunky interface, some features not...
Recommended it? No

I have to agree with some of the other reviews - I too had my automatic chapter settings not show up on discs, was frustrated by the 9 character limit on titles (not even enough to say "1/2005-4/2006"), and was annoyed by the inability to read titles on the screen because of the background image...

It's worth more now that it ate my dvd...

byladyjander Jan 29, 2007
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros It tests your patience.
Cons Customer service, manual is useless, it eats dvd(when it opens)
Recommended it? No

We received this dvd recorder as a present and it is worthless. Out of the 100 times I tried to even open it, it opened once. Now I can't get my dvd out because it won't open anymore. The instruction manual is no help at all. Three of us have tried to get it to work; all to no avail. I even called... Read full review »

Pros Disc titling, auto chapter marking, straight forward interface.
Cons No component in.
Recommended it? Yes

I picked this up today, November 23, 2007 at PC Richard for $49 and have already recorded about 3 hours of video via the AV3 composite input in SP mode. The composite source video, which is being played from and was recorded on HI 8 media on an RCA DSP3 Video Camera, has been reproduced well on the... Read full review »

Pretty Darn Good

byesoldier1 May 3, 2007
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Price, Price, Price.
Cons Not dual format or have HD, but who cares?
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased this recorder at Big Lots. It only writes on DVD plus RW, but who cares. Before this, I had a Cyberhome DVD plus RW recorder. It was a piece of junk. This one blows it away by far. I never heard of Protron, but I needed something to replace my aging VCR technology and I didn't want to... Read full review »

Would be nice... if it worked.

byrbc1234 Feb 2, 2006
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Extensive feature set. Good editing options.
Cons Unreliable. Horrible manual. Worse on-screen menus.
Recommended it? No

I received one of these as a present. It had come from QVC, which has a pretty good reputation for testing its products, so even though I had never heard of the brand, I figured "what the heck".

Set-up was easy, though perhaps less so for someone who really needed the manual. It is badly... Read full review »

Inexpensive, but didn't work for long

byviktrola Jun 16, 2008
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Inexpensive & easy to use (after set-up).
Cons Set-up was more difficult than expected and video stopped working soon after purchase.
Recommended it? No

The DVD recorder was a bit difficult to set up because of the colors of various text & screens. It was definitely not something that was done easily by intuition. Once I figured out the various details, it was easy to operate, both as a player & a recorder. The major problem is that it quit working... Read full review »
