Hi:

We appreciate your input in choosing a DVD recorder unit with or w/o VHS. Budget up to $500.

With $500 to spend, I'd suggest the Pioneer 520H. It does everything the 220 does, plus it has a hard drive. You can't beat having a hard drive for simple editing. If you want to more sophisticated editing, you'll have to rip the DVD disc to your computer hard drive.

Good luck!

JVC is best one you can get.
Pioneer and LiteOn/ILO come in second.

Thanks for the feedback. I will take a look.

Me too!

Bought a 520 about 18 monhs ago and it's been excellent - in fact, I bought a 420 (same as 520 but no firewire) on the strength of the 520 just for VHS backups.

You can get the Sony RDR-HX900 with a 160GB HD & TV Guide built-in, you can't go wrong with that unit. You'll have to haggle with the dealer, but I had little problems getting them to drop the price for me; if they don't walk out.

How much did you buy the sony for? They're about £500 over here so if you can buy them for $500 then we are seriously being screwed.

More like $550 plus tax and shipping... around $600 total

No change there then! -- I believe the car manufatureres call the UK 'Treasure Island' --- and so presumably do the DVD Recorder makers!

No shipping from a local store, just a short ride from the house, Yes there was tax; total out the door to my car = $535.00 US Dollars.
