Clueless People Should Be Exempt From Junk Merchandise
We have a hard enough time figuring out things that DO work properly. So I set-up the Lite-On DVD recorder/VHS combo. Turn on the power and it tells me to "load disc." HUH? Load disc before setup?? Load a disc before the time, date, video output, channel scan, etc., have been programmed in?? If I ignore the message, nothing happens, except for another error message "no disc." . So I load a disc and the thing starts recording. DOUBLE HUH???? |

What a piece of junk! -- It is simply breathtaking to watch the glee and abandon with which the liberal media and the Angry Left have been attempting to turn our military victory in Iraq into a second Vietnam quagmire. Too bad for them, it's failing. |

What a piece of junk! Not to mention that you may find that the deck won't even allow you to record a tape to the disc (or visa versa) because of some stupid copy protection scheme (eg Macrovision). I'm not just talking about a screwed up picture, but flat out refusing and throwing up a message saying you can't do it. At least with a separate DVD and VCR deck you can intercept and remove the signal (which is probably illegal in Amerika) I am not advocating piracy here, but it would be great to be able to transfer a movie *THAT YOU PAID FOR* from VHS to DVD, esp. when the movie is obscure and the chances of it being released to DVD is almost nil. |
