$399.84 At Amazon $459 at Tech Depot	Go to Tech Depot for the Philips DVDR75 . This is a good basic recorder at a low price. The big feature is that the DVD+RW can play in many home DVD players. That means you can re-use the media and share with friends and other DVD players. This works even if you don't finalize the DVD, which is the key to re-using the DVD media. Like all DVD recorders, you do have to check that its recordings play back in the DVD players you are interested in. We like this DVD recorder the best because of the combination of the DVD+RW feature and good price. Many people find the manual poorly written and tech support poor. If this is a concern, many people found the Sony product fine in this regard.	Records DVD+R, DVD+RW iLink Digital connection	Subscribe!

"Used" at Amazon $650	You can get the Sony RDR-GX7 at Amazon This recorder stands out from the others as it supports recording in 2 of the 3 major DVD recording formats. The benefit of this is therefore that you are less likely to be purchasing a recorder that will be obselete in the near future, as no one can be sure whether DVD-R/RW or DVD+R/+RW will be the winning format of the future We really like the support for DVD audio, but we're not sure how many other people need that type of audiophile support. We like the deals available in the Amazon "used" section for this product. Very good prices.	Records DVD-R, DVD-RW DVD+RW, Plays DVD Audio iLink DVD/CD Text
