The player that went by many names........2007-05-27
Reviewer "Joe Pierre" is absolutely correct---this is virtually the same player as the SV2000. In fact, this particular DVD recorder/player is known by many names. Funai Corporation, which is the manufacturer of all of them and parent company to some, sells these under numerous brand names, including the Funai brand as well. Some of these are sold exclusively at Circuit City as PYE. Some are manufactured as Sylvania and Emerson. Mine, available only at Wal-Mart, is known by the name SV2000. Even electronics giant Philips has handed over the manufacturing of their Magnovox brand to Funai! So whether yours is known as PYE, Emerson, Sylvania, SV2000, Magnavox, or Funai, they are all essentially the same machine.
As it is, this DVD player/recorder known by many names is a value-priced, budget-friendly wonder found well under the $100 price range. No, it will not go head to head with the $500 plus players from the likes of NAD, Rotel, Denon, etc. It will, however, deliver as much performance (and hopefully longevity) as such $200 machines manufactured by Sony, Panasonic, and Samsung.
To begin, all of the standard hookups---as expected---are to be found here (S-video, etc.). The player also has a "substantial" appearance and feel to it. In other words, there's very little plastic here and a whole lot of metal! The remote, on the other hand, is cheap, plastic garbage. The buttons are miniscule and not well laid out. There's nothing ergonomic about it either. My pit bull used it as a chew toy and I've not missed it at all. With that being said, budget components have to cut their production costs somewhere and this is obviously where Funai has seen fit to cut. Also, this unit lacks a LED light---no doubt another cost-saving measure.
The sound and vision of this unit are spectacular, especially for the price. There is certainly no truth whatsoever that all DVD players perform essentially the same. They do not! This machine, however, delivers the same level of performance as what one could normally expect from a much more expensive player, and delivers a superior performance to the likes of the el-cheapo, "Black Friday" $19.99 players like Coby, Durabrand, Cyberhome, etc.
I've not had much experience with the recording feature of this unit, but I can at least say that "it works" and does so relatively well. I've not yet recorded from a pay-per-view, but I suspect this would be the best fit since there are no commercials during a ppv movie. Otherwise, owners of a Tivo unit might find a nice complement with this machine since they have the option to go back and edit out commercials and such.
Overall, this is a fine unit that will not break the budget! If you can deal with a dinky remote, the lack of an LED display, and a somewhat slow loading tray, you will no doubt be satisfied with this player.
Decent DVD recorder for under $100.......2007-04-24
I've been looking for some time for a DVD recorder so that I could burn discs of all the stuff I've recorded in my TiVo (actually, I have Dish), so when my Philips DVD player crapped out on me after 5 years or so, I set out for WalMart and picked this one up for $98. (Curiously, WalMart also sells/sold a no-name DVD recorder called a DV2000 that is basically the exact same model made by the company, Funai, without the Magnavox label. Only they were out of stock). I also picked up a stack of Maxell DVD-R discs.
The good news is that the player works just fine so far. It plays DVD's without a glitch (including Netflix DVD's which apparently don't play in some other players due to copy protection issues). I have successfully recorded DVD-R's of my TiVo'ed movies and they play fine on the player, my PC, and a friend's DVD player. They handled the Maxell DVD-R's fine. So compatability seems to be good (so long as you remember to "finalize" the disc). You can do some light editing -- putting titles on the disc, and on chapters. It has a reasonable amount of inputs, including some in the front. All in all, I am pretty satisfied with my $98 purchase -- it does exactly what it claimed to do.
Of course, you get what you pay for. The player doesn't seem all that solidly constructed. It is somewhat slow to power on and slow to respond in general (such as skipping between chapters). The remote is chintzy with tiny little buttons. And, as the review below notes, there is no LED read-out on the front of the player -- therefore, playing time, chapters, and the like can only be viewed onscreen through the remote. That is a bit hard to get used to.
And I really wish the model had Region Free hacks, but none are available so far. Strange since hacks are available for most of the Philips DVD players (and since Philips bought Magnavox and uses the Magnavox label for their low end stuff), which allowed my previous player to play foreign DVD's.
Works great but wish it had LED display of time and counter.......2006-11-18
I bought this at Wal-mart for under $100 and think it is a great deal. This is a replacement to my Toshiba that just died after 2 years. It records great. It plays DVDs I recorded on my computer which the Toshiba wouldn't. I only wish that it had a LED display of the time and counter.
It does what it is supposed to.......2006-09-05
I did not have a problem setting up the DVD recorder. I used it with a ViewSonic 17" widescreen tv/monitor. I also have a dvd player hooked up to it. The DVD recorder comes with everything you need to hook it up and I found the instructions easy to follow. The initial set-up of the recorder were also easy to follow and worked perfectly the first time and was very quick.
I just recorded my first DVD in 2 hour mode. The picture does not look any different as it does on the TV (at least not noticeable). It recorded from the exact times I told it to and it recorded the correct channel. I finalized the DVD and put it in my DVD recorder and it played perfectly.
I used the DVD-R for this and I purchased some DVD-RW so that I can erase the TV shows I record.
You can program up to 8 recordings at once. You can title it whatever you want. You can pick to finalize automatically or not. You can pick if you want chapters and how far apart you'd like them.
In addition to everything you need in the back, there are also the audio/video inputs on the front in case you'd like to hook up a camcorder or something of the sort.
If you are wanting to transfer VHS to DVD or hook up a camcorder to record TV shows, this is a perfect choice. It worked just as it was supposed to straight out of the box for less than almost every single DVD Recorder on the market.
There are options to numerous to list on here, so please check them out to see how valuable and wonderful this DVD recorder is. You can't beat purchasing something that performs exactly as it is advertised!

Just ok.......2007-11-14
If you don't know how to find the way home, its really help. But if you want to find some places new, then you may not rely on this GPS. As the map of this model is not new. If you want to get the latest map, you need to buy online for $69.99.
Pop out of the box, turn it on, go!.......2007-09-03
My wife and I have been using this for about a week. Just perfect for our needs: less-stress traveling to unfamiliar places, no trying to squint at maps while driving (I hadn't realized what a stress and how dangerous it is, trying to read a mapquest or map when driving, constantly referring to each new turn instead of focusing on the road) and it works like a dream. So easy to use, finds restaurants, gas stations, lodging, or tap in the name on the touchscreen and it'll find markets, stores, all kinds of stuff.
I downloaded and upgraded the firmware from Garmin, it's a breeze, just install the unit's software on your PC first (follow instructions to the letter and it's simple), then download the automatic upgrader from the Garmin site, and in a couple minutes, you're current.
It acquires satellites here (upstate NY) in 20 seconds or less, and picks excellent routes. If you want to go a different way, it instantly recalculates a new route and sends you on your way.
Wonderful product, does what it's supposed to do, simple to use, easy to pop out of the windshield mount and stick in your windbreaker pocket, purse or glove compartment. I love it! I can't imagine how I lived without it (I get lost all the time up there in these windy country roads)!
Not Up to Date.......2007-08-23
I found in using the GPS that I purchased thru Amazon that it did not have streets on it that are over 3 years old. I thought that I would be getting a more current version of maps.
It is AWESOME! LOVE IT! So EASY to use........2007-04-28
I had a cobra navone 3000, compared to this one, it was so big, bulky and no touch screen. I bought this one for my dad who speaks only chinese and loves driving. He loves it! It has English too!! I can use it also! great direction and many navagation preference choices. I recommend to even non asian users!! for asian users, it is hell of a deal!!
