is-dvd1001 is this model anygood iam new in this subject and i wanna start backing up hockey games since there is a season now, this system has plus and negative dvd format, i wanna know how the quaility is on these machines, and if the audio is good too. I wanna after the recording to edit on my pc is this possible and the recording is there any static or any interuption on the end result.
I have just purchased the Insignia DVD recorder. I'm still working on the procedures, but I have found one annoying defect with the unit. When I am trying to dub from VCS tape to DVD the unit sometimes hangs up and nothing works: the tape eject, DVD eject, not event he power button. I have to unplug the power cord and plug it back in then have to initialize another disc since the process was interrupted by the 'hangup'.
The electrical insides seem to be the problem as I have experienced a lag time of 40 seconds to up to 2 minutes from the time I push a button for one function until the unit actually does it's thing. For example when I push the eject for the DVD it seems to take a very long time for the ejection. Same for the VCS tape. I know the VCS has it's mechanical is normally slow, but this unit is VERY slow.
The process for the dubbing is a little more confusing than I had hoped for despite the 'one button' feature. The instruction book does not cover the menu options associated with the process. Guess that's why the label on the unit suggests calling their 800 number when trying out your first dubbing session.
Overall, I hope to make progress with this unit. If not, then it goes back to Best Buy.
I just bought one and it won't record anything. Insignia's support sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I called the number and got nothing but a new # to call and the is a BS #!!!!!!!!! I am returning it today and I hope no one ever buys another one!!! I am also going to talk to BestBuys main office and tell them about the customer support or lack of one!!
