Amazon.com Product Description
Daewoo's versatile, space-saving DVR-S04 combo recorder lets you quickly and easily transfer your personal video from VHS tapes to recordable DVD+R and DVD+RW discs, preserving your cherished footage for years to come--all with a single component. Setup is simple and connections are minimal; the DVR-S04 is optimized for one-touch transfers from VHS to DVD or vice-versa, copy-protection technology permitting (you can't copy the latest blockbuster movie to videotape).
The unit will also play your CD-based MP3 music files and JPEG digital photos, including Kodak Picture CDs--nothing like a custom slide show in the comfort of your living room. If you've got music and pictures on the same CD-R or CD-RW, you can even select an MP3 music file to play in the background during your slideshow.
In addition to making it easier to transfer directly from videotape to DVD, the DVR-S04 uses LSI Logic's Direct Digital Dub technology. Direct Digital Dub simplifies digital content transfers from a camcorder (DV or other media) to the DVD recorder via an IEEE 1394 (DV) connection. Simplifying the process, Direct Digital Dub lets you control the camcorder with one touch via the DVD recorder's remote control.
Additional advantages include LSI Logic's proprietary pre- and post-processing technologies, TrueView Pro and TrueScan Pro. These motion-compensation-based technologies provide advanced progressive-scan output and impressive noise-minimizing on signals passing through the unit's analog inputs.
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.
Front-panel inputs make spontaneous connections a cinch, whether you're hooking up a camcorder, a digital camera, or a second VCR. The unit also offers an RF coaxial antenna input and output, 1 each composite-, component-, and S-video outputs, and a choice of 2 digital-audio outputs (coaxial or optical) for passing Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround signals to a compatible audio/video surround receiver and multichannel speaker system, the ideal accessories for your movie viewing.
What's in the Box
DVD player/VCR, remote control, remote batteries, a user's manual, a stereo analog audio interconnect/composite-video cable, an RF coaxial video cable, a blank DVD+RW disc, and warranty information.

DAEWOO IS KOREAN WORD FOR CRAP.......2006-01-16
Worst piece of electronics I ever purchased. Started acting up almost immediately. Hit rewind and machine shuts down and ejects tape. BUYER BEWARE!!!!
Worthless junk.......2005-12-01
I bought this unit at Costco since it was about 50 dollars cheaper than the others I've seen. Out of the 12 dvds I've made so far, only 4 work. The unit repeatedly froze up either while updating the disk after a recording or while finalizing a disk. Out of the 8 disks that did finish finalizing successfully, only four of them worked. The player would say that the other were Blank discs, but if you tried to write to them it would say the disc is full.
I will be returning the unit for the second and last time. (First one stop displaying video altogether after the 3rd day)
Utilitarian, ineligant, buggy, annoying........2005-11-28
I bought this unit last year because Fry's had it at a smoking price and I wanted a way to convert all our family videos to DVD before they died a heat and dust death. This was my first DVD recorder.
Its operation for basic tasks is simple and straightforward, but from time to time I come up against the lack of a feature I naturally expect to find, but which isn't there or doesn't work. Examples:
When recording from the air, this unit apparently does not record closed captioning information to either tape or DVD, a substantial negative for viewers needing "hearing assistance." All of my other VCRs record it.
I was ready to return my unit because every time I shut it off, it "hung" with the message "WAIT", would not respond to any controls, and eventually had to be unplugged and replugged. I called their service number, was advised this was a known problem with the "automatic clock setting" feature, and was told my only option was to turn that feature off and set the clock by hand. (ATTENTION other reviewers who reported hangs on shutoff: this is probably your problem.)
With the automatic clock setting feature off, the unit apparently does you the "favor" of adjusting itself for standard and daylight savings time on the proper day (this is totally undocumented). Unfortunately, my state doesn't do daylight time, so the unit recorded all the wrong programs for a week or so until I figured out that it had changed its own clock. There is no way to disable this "feature."
If you are playing a tape or DVD at a time when the unit is scheduled to record, you are given no notice that a scheduled operation needs the unit (even my cheap VCRs will do this). When you turn the unit off, you will get a message that the unit will switch into auto record mode instead, whereupon it will record the remainder of the show you wanted, at which point you typically kick yourself because it's too late to recover from your mistake. Now, the manual says "while the VCR is recording, DVD playback is possible," but that's only if the VCR is already recording -- if you're playing a DVD at the time the VCR wants to start recording, it won't start.
On the other side of automatic operation, if you find yourself recording the wrong show to DVD (e.g., due to a schedule change or sports delay) you can't override the program and stop it. The manual says that holding the stop button down for three seconds will stop it, but I have not found this to work.
My occasional attempts to use the unit to play "interactive game features" on some DVDs have all resulted in system freezes or hangs, requiring unplugging of the power cord to reset the unit.
There is an annoying bug in the unit such that if you are searching a DVD in fast reverse for a particular scene, and then hit PLAY when you find it, it will play with no audio. You have to hit STOP and then PLAY again to regain audio.
Finally, I was disappointed with the results when I tried to copy my VCR tapes to DVD, the task for which I primarily bought the deck. It's probably not the fault of this particular unit, but I discovered that although the quality of a VCR tape recorded at the 6-hour speed is very reasonable, a DVD recorded at the 6-hour speed is unwatchable -- super-pixelated and full of ugly artifacts. So I can't just plug in the media and let the machine do the job unattended, I have to be present to perform active editing. As I mentioned, this was my first experience with making DVDs, so learning about their limitations was part of the process. However, I have to wonder how many other potential purchasers have home videos recorded at this speed and are also going to discover this limitation after buying this machine.
DVR-S05 newer model -- Would have been nice..........2005-11-23
As another reviewer said, got as a whim buy at Costco since they don't have VCRs much any more. This unit feels like a Linux box - it has to "boot up" for about a minute from cold start. It worked well for about a week doing timer recordings to VHS tape and DVD, then went flakey. I had to put it on an extension cord with a power switch because it hangs on power off (hibernate really), and I have to disconnect power to get it back (hard for me to reach the plug behind, hence adding the extension cord). Also now hangs when set to timer record; clue - clock doesn't update. Auto clock only works once in awhile; have to do manually after each deliberate power fail. Don't "power off" with a tape in or it spins motors. Tried "restore to factory defaults", but that didn't fix it. The timer controls are clunky and old fashioned, not nearly as nice as a two year old JVC SVHS VCR I have with its four dedicated rocker button pairs on the remote (most TV shows start on the half hour -- DUH!).
Probably mine is a defective unit, as it did start out OK (bad memory perhaps?), will exchange or return shortly (but as I read these other reviews, exchange is becoming less of an option).
Too bad really, because the 6 head vcr was nice, smooth and fast albeit a bit noisy on rewind, and the the TV Tuner is the best I've ever seen in a VCR -- it may be pulling down Digital TV signal instead of just analog (worth a second star). I never got around to exploring the nifty DVD features, since the fundamental power on/off and clock stuff didn't stay working.
Lousy Player/Recorder.......2005-11-07
I purchased subject unit from Costco. This machine was a total waste of time and money. Thought the price was right, but guess I got what I paid for.
First time copy VHS to DVD, the machine locked up, did not finish the project, did not respond to the remote, or buttons on the unit. Got my VHS tape out, but it would not finalize or release the DVD. Went repeatedly into "finalize", but that is where the project would end, would not eject, regardless of what button was used it would go back to "finalize", again getting no where. Using "eject" would go the the "finalize" again. Machine had a one track mind. Took it back, with my DVD still in it, still had my VHS tape of the project.
Purchased another brand, paid about $65.00 more, and now have a machine that works fine

Great for awhile, then POOF!.......2007-03-12
Well, I am another victim of Go Video. I have (had?) this model for just over a year. I really liked it, played and recorded well. Used to view DVDs often, and record on occasion. Was in the process of recording a second 2 hour movie on the same day when the unit stopped recording. Tried restarting, would not record or play any DVD. From other reviews, looks like my laser head has burned out. The unit still plays music CDs and the VCR works, so it's just "mostly dead".
Will never buy GoVideo again........2007-01-08
I had the Model 3845 about one year before it started refusing to read DVDs. Several sources said that the laser head burns out if you use it for more than 2-3 hours straight and that's what happened to mine. I understand it is a common problem (look at the number of dead units being sold on eBay). Phone support was discontinued when I tried to call and they never answer e-mails. A $250. boat anchor as even the VCR would not work properly anymore. And failure to respond to a customer is inexcusable.
Short Lived!.......2006-10-13
I have owned the VR3845 for about 5 months, but have only used it sparingly. It has been used to watch no more than a dozen commercial DVDs and it was used to copy two VCR tapes. The unit will no longer read a disk. I did get it to read one after trying many different DVD disks, but all it did was go to the FBI Warning screen and freeze.
Calling their 1-800 number did not work because they said it was out of operation and to use their web site. The Service center locator on their site does not work. I think they are out of business. Anyway, you can see I am not pleased at all.
Warning!.......2006-02-03
If you record a program over 2 hours long there is a high probability that the laser lense will overheat and burn out. 90 day warranty only. Expensive to have fixed. OK for short recordings.

The Lowrance GlobalMap 4800M displays towns, roads, airports, and thousands of other destinations.
|
As with the best GPS navigators, the device is highly accurate, with precision 12 parallel channel GPS and WAAS mapping that gets you to within a few meters of your destination, whether you're on a Great Lakes fishing expedition or a cross-country road trip. Each trip is completely customizable, with the ability to chart paths, waypoints, trails, and more. You can also easily recalculate your trip should you get distracted and lose your way. And thanks to the MMC/SD card slot--which is protected by a waterproof door--the device can save and retrace up to 100 of your favorite plot trails, with up to 10,000 points in each path.
Users can also perform more advanced GPS functions on the GlobalMap 4800M, including determining the distance between two separate locations, creating and editing brand-new routes, and navigating trails and paths backwards. To give users a good mapping foundation, Lowrance included a built-in continental U.S. and Hawaii background map that's enhanced to take advantage of the high-resolution display. The detailed map offers such marine features as more than 60,000 nav aids and 10,000 wrecks/obstructions in coastal and Great Lakes areas, along with landlocked extras like interstate exit services in addition to standard major streets and highways. The GlobalMap is also compatible with Lowrance's optional MapCreate 6 custom mapping software (required to enjoy a full set of searchable land features, including landmarks, streets, addresses, and points of interest) and a host of plug-and-play choices, like FreedomMaps, Fishing Hot Spots Elite, LakeMaster Pro Maps, NauticPath USA, and Navionics electronic charts. Each item loads through the MMC/SD memory card slot, which supports up to 256 MB of mapping memory on each card.
The maps are easier to read than ever thanks to the vivid backlit display, which sports a crisp 480 x 480 pixel resolution, wide viewing angles, and multiple lighting levels. Users can even read the screen on bright, sunny days--a serious advantage for midday boat trips. Meanwhile, users with a zest for detail will appreciate the 38 map zoom ranges (from 0.02 to 4,000 miles) and the 42 graphic icons used to mark special spots. Additional features include 1,000 waypoints and 1,000 event markers, 10 user-selectable background languages, and a built-in backup memory for storing your GPS data and settings. Technology-minded users can make the GlobalMap even more versatile by adding such navigational extras as NMEA2000 sensors, fuel-monitoring equipment, or a radar dome.
The sealed, waterproof GlobalMap 4800M, which is suitable for saltwater use, measures 6.9 by 5.4 by 3.4 inches (W by H by D) and is typically powered by a 12-volt boat or vehicle battery. It comes with a gimbal bracket for dash installation, along with all the necessary cables for battery connection and a face cover that protects the device when idle. As with all Lowrance GPS receivers, the item is backed by a one-year warranty.
