Last Rated:	Go Video GoVideo R6740 Write formats: DVD+R/RW, VCR Plus+: No, Bottom Line: Supremely easy to use and bargain-priced, this recorder offers subpar image quality and virtually no on-disc editing. The lack of VCR Plus+ scheduling is also a bit of a bummer. Full Review • Test Report • Check latest prices	Check Latest Prices
Last Rated:	Philips DVDR-615 DVD Recorder/DVD Player Write formats: DVD+R/RW, VCR Plus+: Yes, Bottom Line: A streamlined remote, a pretty interface, and good image quality highlight this inexpensive model. However, it also is the result of some questionable design decisions. For example, if you watch TV through the recorder, the image quality reflects the recording mode the unit is set for.

Last Rated:	Sony RDR-GX300 DVD Recorder/DVD Player Write formats:DVD±R/RW, VCR Plus+: Yes, Bottom Line: I admired how this recorder doesn't force you to choose between + and - DVD media. I also liked its classy and intuitive on-screen display. But the lack of DV input makes it a poor choice for digital camcorder users. And it's expensive, considering hard drive models don't cost much more. Full Review • Test Report • Check latest prices	Check Latest Prices
Last Rated:	JVC DR-MH30S Write formats: DVD-R/RW/RAM, 160GB hard drive, VCR Plus+: Yes Bottom Line: The remote on this model--the priciest I looked at--was one of my favorites, and if you surf like I do, you'll love the fast channel changing. But the interface needs reorganizing, and I expected better dubbing performance, features, and design, especially given the price. Full Review • Test Report • Check latest prices	Check Latest Prices
Last Rated:	Panasonic DMR-E95HS DVD Recorder Write formats: DVD-R/RAM, 160GB hard drive, VCR Plus+: Yes Bottom Line: Packed with features, the Panasonic stands tall among the competition. The roomy 160GB hard drive, media card slots, and programming guide are definite pluses. But I docked this model points for its clunky interface and poor dubbing performance with DVD-R.

Last Rated:	Pioneer DVR-520H-S Recorder/DVD Player Write formats: DVD-R/RW, 80GB hard drive, VCR Plus+: Yes Bottom Line: Its image quality is stellar, and its dubbing superfast. Overall, aside from its cramped remote, I found little to complain about with this unit. On the wish list: a larger hard drive, an EPG, and faster channel switching.

Last Rated:	Sharp DV-HR300U DVD Recorder/Player Write formats: DVD-R/RW, 80GB hard drive, VCR Plus+: Yes Bottom Line: This model has a unique feature that I found handy--picture-in-picture playback of previously recorded content. But poor dubbing speed and incompatibility with some faster-rated media dampened my enthusiasm. Full Review • Test Report • Check latest prices	Check Latest Prices

For each model, we recorded one hour of video to write-once DVD at one-hour mode and six-hour mode, and then viewed the discs on a 30-inch widescreen CRT HDTV monitor from Philips (model 30pw8402/37). A jury evaluated the image quality for each recorder at the two modes, in a blind taste test comparing each unit's output against the others'.
