seeking advice

I ordered an LVW 5005 last week and is scheduled for delivery wednesday (today is Mon) and i read on this forum that a lot of LVW5005 lasts only 5-6 weeks and some a little less and some a tad more.

Should i refuse my delivery and send it back so i dont have the headaches like some of the forum members here ?

Or HAs the issue been resolved or am I flipping a coin ?

Any updates or advice greatly appreciated

Hi, just to put your mind at rest the Liteon recorder lasts a lot
longer then that.
Might have some software related issues but they easily be fixed, by
downloading the free update from the Liteon website, or ring there Hotline, realy helpfull people

Hi Goixiz

My 5005 lasted about 6 months before refusing to recognise any disks, its currently residing under the bed gathering dust. Dont do it, would be my advice.

The problem may also be related to a very dirty laser lens. As I have another DVD recorder that was doing the very same thing. After a manual cleaning using a Q-tip soaked with Windex did the the trick and returned the unit back to full operation again. I had to take the cover off the case and another access cover on the DVD section to access the lens, but the Q-tips showed a discoloration indicating accumalations were preventing the laser from reading the disc properly; remember the same lens handles both record and playback functions. If you're not up to taking the unit apart then try a wet type DVD lens clening disc as the dry type don't really do the trick if the accumalations are excessive. Give it a try you may just be surprised that it will work for your recorder.
