Product Description
The Sharp DV-SR45U progressive scan DVD Player/Recorder has a built-in TV tuner so you can record your favorite programs live or with the timer from any video source. Recording Formats: DVD-RW/R. Playback Formats: DVD-Video, DVD-RW/R, DVD+RW/R, Audio CD, CD-RW/R, MP3. The DV-SR45U also features multiple record modes for up to 10 hours of record time on 1 DVD-RW/R disc and a 30 second skip function for jumping over recorded content with ease.
Amazon.com Product Description
The DV-SR45U is an integrated DVD recorder and DVD player that lets you make simple, one-touch video recordings onto durable, rewriteable DVDs for collecting, sharing, time-shifted viewing, and video archiving of your VHS tapes and camcorder footage. Its built-in TV tuner lets you record your favorite programs live or via timer, and a 30-second skip function makes it a cinch to hop past commercials or other content with ease.
Other features include CD/MP3 playback, DVD+R/+RW playback, and 1-year, 8-event scheduling. Rewriteable DVD-RW media can be recorded more than 1,000 times, holding 60 minutes in XP mode and an amazing 600 minutes (10 hours) of programming in SEP mode. The recorder's editing function will erase sections of recorded scenes easily. Select any image you like to represent a scene's thumbnail image for chapter selection. On rewritable discs, you can add chapter marks, delete parts of titles, and set representative thumbnail images.
Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DV-SR45U is ready to deliver the full potential of your commercial DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. The DV-SR45U sports one set of progressive-scan component-video outputs and 1 each composite- and S-video outs for use with SD (standard-definition) TVs as well as with VCRs or DVRs.
Inputs consist of 2 each composite- and S-video, with 2 sets of stereo analog (left/right) RCA audio inputs. One set of AV/S inputs is conveniently located on the unit's front panel for ready connection to a camcorder or other device. An RF audio/video input accepts a feed from an older VCR or cable box, or an antenna, while a single RF output passes an NTSC tuner signal to another component.
In the audio department, this unit--like many other DVD recorders--compresses all incoming audio signals with Dolby Digital 2.0, which conserves space but slightly compromises audio quality. A set of left/right RCA analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's coaxial digital-audio output for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver.
The DV-SR45U simplifies the process of searching for a specific moment on a disc through its high-speed-access thumbnail views and Quick Search functions. In addition, this DVD recorder also features a Block Noise filter that decreases overall noise in the playback picture.
The DV-SR45U is CPRM-compliant. CPRM stands for stands for Content Protection for Recordable Media, a copy-protection system triggered by specific CPRM programs. You can record copy-once broadcast programs, but you cannot then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM recordings can only be made on DVD-RW discs formatted in VR mode, and CPRM recordings can only be played on players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.
What's in the Box
DVD recorder, remote control, remote batteries, an RF coaxial video cable, a composite-video/stereo analog audio cable, a quick-use guide, and a user's manual.

I wish I could go less that 1 star.......2006-11-28
Absoulute garbage. I should have know better that to go Sharp so it serves me right that this DVD "recorder" only succesfully records half of the time and the other half it steals your money for the blank DVDs you buy.
I've had this thing for a year and a half and it's been nothing but trouble. There is no indication on the packaging that only 4X DVDs are required. After you search and search and finally find 4X DVDs(I had to get mine online) this thing turns half of them into coasters. No matter what brand DVD-R you use, it will only work half the time and you won;t know until after you think you've finished the recording.
And if it's after 90 days, forget it. Sharp charges you to send it to them, for a diagnostics, and estimate and repair.
The worst thing I ever bought in my entire life.
Great value and easy to use.......2005-11-11
I just bought two. These machines replaced an old, very poor Phillips DVD recorder and all the VHS machines. Picture is great. I found it easy to use and had no problems with 1x, 2x, and 4x DVD-R's and 1x-2x DVD-RW's and they played fine in other DVD players. I don't know where the other reviewers shop, but I had little trouble finding both DVD-R's and DVD-RW's for this machine online AND at Office Depot, CompUSA, Staples, Best Buy and even Big Lots, and all at reasonable prices (CompUSA having the best selection and prices). It also played a variety of DVD+R's, DVD-R's, DVD-RW's, and regular DVD's. It did play a DVD+R/DL, but only one with just the movie and no menus (store bought DVD's played just fine). Tuner and timer recording work great and menus are easy to navigate. Like most Sharp products, the remote is ergonomic and easy to use.
Sure, DVD's and formatting takes quite a while and reading takes a few seconds, but nothing longer than my expensive Pioneer Elite DV-37. And it is a change from VHS, but this is not a lifetime product. I do think it is a big improvement over past DVD products.
Good recorder for disappearing media........2005-09-10
This is a very good recorder with strong editing capabilities. Both the DVD-R & RW format disks offer track-editing options suitable for basic or more event-specific recordings from several sources. Recording from VHS often rewards you with a quality that in fact appears better than the original.
It has a quirk regarding the cooling fan which is easy to circumvent. What you can not work around however is its inability to function outside of 4X media. Though you may have an easier time with 2X or 1X, the proper media is DVD-R 4X (MAX) 4.7GB for this machine. You will not find this information easy to come by otherwise. Such 4X disks appear close to extinction, as they have often been replaced in catalogs and on shelves by 1x-8x disks -- DO NOT BUY THESE -- which are not compatible with this machine. There are no firmware upgrades available for this model.
If you have a stack of 4X max. disks on hand or know a source that can provide you with such media, then you will be quite satisfied. Without a firmware upgrade however, this recorder will soon suffer a fate not unlike death.
good recorder.......2005-09-10
it works fine . but have to choose right type of dvd . just a few type dvd recordable is compatible with this dvd recorder .
Great product, not compatible with many discs.......2005-09-09
Using a DVD-RW (Not DVD+RW) ver1.1/ 2x speed it works great and is re-recordable and simple. Haven't found a DVD-R that works with it yet (it tells you in the manual which ones will work but I just couldn't find the DVD-R of the correct write speed in stores). Recording works instantly (like a VCR) but takes between 20secs to a minute after recording is stopped to write to disc.

These are HORRIBLE...JUNK...may record 25 discs before dying.......2007-12-02
Oh my god. My 3rd DVR-112 in 6 months is dying. After the stock DVD drive that came with my Macintosh G5 died (which lasted for 2 years and nearly a thousand DVD burns), I had to get this model as a replacement. It seems impossible to find another model these days. Any suggestions out there? These are horrible. I don't know what's going on with DVD recorders these days...it's like a conspiracy.
All 3 of these that I've had will not record to any blank disc with a gray coating on top for some reason, and it errors out on approximately 25% of the disc brand that I can get it to work with (only Memorex). Any other disc brand and it gets to about 95% of the burn done then errors out.
Amazon should not be selling these. Do I smell a class-action lawsuit in the offing?
PIONEER IS RUN BY CRIMINALS - AVOID AT ALL COSTS.......2007-10-04
Pioneer has proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that their reputation for quality and good service has been replaced by shoddy craftsmanship, dishonest/incompetent support, and literally criminal treatment of their customers.
In my case, I purchased a Pioneer internal DVD-RW drive, which proved to be defective within 2 months. The Pioneer website clearly stated that certain drive models had "issues," and would be replaced immediately. My drive was one of these models, and I immediately sent it to the company for replacement. After two weeks without word of a replacement, I emailed Pioneer customer service, and got no reply. I then called the Pioneer support line. I was told first that my drive had not been received, to which I said that I would contact USPS and collect on my insurance for the drive. Suddenly the story changed: they had received the drive, but it had been "misplaced" and sent to their repair warehouse.
After further wrangling, I was told that the drive really wasn't eligible for a replacement at all, and that they had made a "mistake" on their website. They assured me, however, that they would honor their website and send me a replacement anyway. After I week, I called again and found that no replacement had been shipped. This time, I spoke to a supervisor who said he would ship a new drive out immediately, and provide me with the tracking number. Needless to say, I never heard from him again. Thus, I have been cheated out of a miserable $50 DVD drive.
If you want a quality product and helpful customer service, buy from Sony. On the other hand, if you'd like to be ignored, lied to, cheated, and in general treated like dirt, buy Pioneer. Please avoid anything from this company like the plague! They are nothing more than petty criminals who will steal your money as quickly as possible.
