Can you give some references.
I read all the posts to two forums
http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=179557&highlight=polaroid+drm-2001g
http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=675487
regarding this unit and the comments in general were quite favorable.
The Polaroid unit is based on a Philips DVDR3455/37 which also has
gotten favorable reviews.
As one poster said, we can sit around and complain about the flawed
products we have to put up with or we can buy them and get as much out
fo them as we can.
If there are sync problems, no one on the forums said anything about
it. Many earlier units from various manufacturers suffered such
problems but my impression is that they have the problems fixed now.
Even the small time of one year can make a huge difference in the
quality of a DVDR.
If the Polaroid unit has sync problems, I will return it immediately.
I am going to pay cash so I am not tied to redeeming the refund at a
WalMart store or waiting for a chargeback.
As far as copying VHS tapes, I don't have anything worth copying.
Everything I have on VHS is available on DVD from Netflix, Blockbuster
or Interlibrary Loan.
What I have found in reading numerous posts on the big forums is that
most fo the problems people report are caused by operator error or
ignorance. For example someone was bitching about not being able to
capture a TV show directly to DVD disc. DUH! You can't do that - you
have to capture it to hard disk first and then make a copy to DVD.
