Amazon.com Product Description
GoVideo's R6740 DVD recorder lets you easily record your favorite television shows and treasured home videos to high-quality, long-lasting DVD+R (write-once) and DVD+RW (rewriteable) discs. The recorder's built-in NTSC TV tuner and onscreen user interface permits up to 5 timer recordings over a full year, with 4 recording speeds providing between 1 and 6 hours of content on each DVD disc. The R6740's high-quality recordings and easy operation make it a perfect replacement for the traditional VCR.

The R6740's versatile playback features include progressive-scan video outputs and support for recordable CDs filled with MP3 audio files and JPEG images. A variety of video and audio inputs--including front-panel connections for fast, temporary hookups--grant connection to virtually all televisions and home theater components. An easy-to-use full-function remote control commands all the action.

The R6740 features an integrated EZ-Guide feature that helps simplify DVD recording by walking you step-by-step through recording a variety of content to DVD. An intuitive sequence of questions and instructions appear onscreen to guide users from start to finish through the recording process. The R6740 also comes with GoVideo's innovative AutoPlay feature, designed to skips ads, trailers, and menus, jumping right to the start of your movie. Simply place the disc in the tray, press the play key, and the movie starts without interruption.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the R6740 stands ready to deliver the full playback potential of your DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

When recording, the unit automatically creates a new disc title every time you start a new recording. You can then add chapters to these recordings manually or have them automatically inserted at 5-minute intervals (up to 30 minutes).

Connections include a pair of composite- and S-video inputs, an RF antenna input, and an IEEE 1394 DV (digital video) input for a direct, high-quality connection with a digital camcorder. Front-panel inputs (including the DV input) foster easy hookups with camcorders and other video components.

DVD+RW discs require no finalizing: you can record, eject, and play them with minimal fuss, thanks to "background formatting." This feature, which lowers total burning time, is an advantage over the "dash" formats. Other DVD+RW advantages include on-disc content editing and multisession writing. And, through DVD+RW and DVD+R's compatibility with most existing DVD players, they're a great way for you to share your special memories with family and friends.

To help you navigate the transition from VCR to DVD recording, GoVideo's "white-glove customer care" includes free telephone assistance in making your first recording, should you need it.
