Samsung DVD-VR357 Tunerless DVD Recorder and VCR Combo
Samsung DVD-VR357 Tunerless DVD Recorder and VCR Combo

The Samsung DVD-VR357 Tunerless DVD Recorder and VCR Combo is a multi format DVD/VHS recorder with VHS HiFi Player. With HDMi upconversion capabilities it has one touch two way dubbing and DivX compatibility This DVD player does not have a 'tuner' and it expects some form of cable/dish TV input.

The ease of use makes it  simple to initialize and finalize the disc. The VR357 will do most of this automatically and also make automatic chapter titles every 5 minutes.

It can record on the hard disk recorder of the cable system.   It is also compatible with older equipment. 

DVDs being smaller than VHS you can use them in portable players and laptops. There are four record fidelities – 1 HR, 2 HR, 4 HR, and 6or8 HR. giving variable mode images. At best it's probably not quite as good as commercial DVDs but neither are home recorded VHS tapes.

This one has a wide array of input/output cable types, including HD cable output but it is not an HD recorder. Although it plays standard audio CDs and MP3s-on-CD.  The world of DVD-R is a little more complicated than VHS recording but this model automates most of the options if you want it to, like auto-initialize and auto-finalize.
