Amazon.com Product Description
Samsung's DVD-VR330 provides the best of both worlds, with the ability to record home movies and TV programming to a wide variety of DVD discs while enabling you to continue playing your vast VHS library. Additionally, the 4-head VCR offers a full complement of standard recording and playback options as well as the ability to easily convert VHS tapes to DVD. A front-panel DV (FireWire IEEE 1394) input enables you to connect the family video camcorder and edit and record footage directly to a DVD disc--all via a single cable and without losing image quality. The EVQ (Enhanced Video Quality) feature provides sharper images and truer color reproduction for both movies and home videos. EVQ reduces pixel noise produced during digital signal processing, mitigates the cross color phenomenon occasionally produced by separation of Y & C signal.
It offers a full menu of DVD recording options, including DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW as well as DVD-RAM discs--a very flexible format that allows you to re-record on the disc up to several thousand times. Additionally, it offers recording compatibility with DVD-/+R discs--enabling you to store up to 8.5 GB of video on these two-sided discs.
You can program recording via the timer, or choose easy one-touch recording (initiating playback at 30 minutes and adding 30 minutes with each additional press of the button, up to the available disc time or 240 minutes, whichever is sooner). Chapters are created when you record your favorite TV show or video clips from a camcorder onto a DVD disc. The chapters are automatically created, which eliminates wasted time searching the whole DVD to find the right spot. Up to 99 titles can be recorded onto one disc. With the simple and easy edit function menu, you can delete, copy, rename, and lock, among other things. You can also create a playlist and edit video in a specific sequence.
It offers the following connection options:
- Composite video: 1 out
- S-Video: 1 out
- Component video: 1 out
- Firewire: 1 in
- RF: 1 in, 1 out
- Analog audio: 2 in, 2 out
- Coaxial digital audio: 1 out
- Optical digital audio: 1 out
Tech Talk
Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound.

No problems except..........2007-12-09
...the video and sound were never in sync! It's rather annoying when you see someone start to talk and a second later do you actually hear the sound!
This only happens when recording off the TV. Other than that I have had no problems, all discs finalized in a reasonable amount of time. I bought this unit to replace an older Sony DVD recorder which I'm going to hook back up since this one can't record properly. Seems this one is going to get relegated to the spare bedroom where it will have minimum record duties.
Wish I could rate it 0 stars.......2007-10-24
This unit was purchased by our family in Aug 2006 and it had to be repaired in Oct 06, just over 2 months later, because the DVD tray, regardless of disc present, would just pop right back out and discs wouldn't play. It was repaired under warranty, but now barely a year later, the same problem has occurred. Of course it's no longer in warranty, and I'm stuck with very expensive 14-month-old paperweight.
Two Bad Recommendations.......2007-10-18
I bought this machine several months ago. My daughter has the same unit. The VCR section died on her's within three months. The DVD recorder / player on mine died within three months.Same problem on both: rejects the media. This includes any and all disks on my unit. Try something else!
No More Samsung.......2007-10-07
Samsung DVD-VR330 (bought 3/2007) "worked" good for a few months. However, the audio and video were never in sync, and this is disconcerting and not what I would call acceptable. Samsung's service reply was "please call us, many things could cause this, like having other components connected to your A/V system"! Duh! I have several devices connected! Is this unusual or unethical? (Cable main is directly connected to the Samsung, no other devices ahead of it.) Obviously, Samsung chose to disregard the problem.
Then, a few weeks ago, I started having problems using just about ANY disc, including discs that had been previously recored on this unit. No point in having it serviced, because the cost for labor (covered under 90 warranty) would far exceed the unit's worth. Looks like I bought a DVD recorder, but ended up with just a VCR.
I'm just glad I was able to copy most of the material I needed to get onto DVDs before this trash stopped working.
No more Samsung for me!
A huge disappointment.......2007-09-22
We purchased the Samsung at Christmas to replace a Sony DVD player and JVC VCR player. Right away, it was clear that the Samsung was not as user-friendly as either of those brands.
The pictographs on the back of the box (for installation) were not intuitive, and the manual did nothing to clear up our confusion. Once we finally got it connected properly, we discovered that the setup for timer recording is a multi-step process and, again, not very intuitive.
The picture quality of the VCR recordings is crummy -- very soft picture for a 4-head VCR. The DVD side worked well until this summer, when it began developing problems. Timer recordings would clear for no reason, home-recorded disks of all types and manufacturers would not play consistently, and finally the DVD drawer began sticking.
Repair of the DVD problems will cost $65 -- a third of what we paid for the device, which seems high given that the built-in tuner will be useless in less than six months.
Instead of getting it fixed, we're heading back to Sony (and paying the dreaded Sony markup). And we're definitely steering clear of any Samsung products in the future.
