I haven't used either one of them, but I've seen a lot more posts with Sony problems than Pioneer problems. I've also heard that Sony is using Samsung to manufacter their recorders these days, a very good reason to stay away from Sony if it's true. |

Actually I would rate Samsung products very highly, particularly DVD and memoery. |

Samtrash is junk. My sister has one of their DVD recorders, she sent me a few discs recorded on it. On my JVC player they freeze at every new chapter and won't go past there till I press search twice, or press chapter skip. On my Panasonic DVD recorder, they freeze for a couple of seconds then jump forward. They are TY discs, so it's not the discs. Samsung makes some of the most unreliable electronics you can buy. |

Hey David, I'm also looking to buy a DVD Recorder. I do have a Samsung DLP HDTV and so far it's been fantastic. Is it just the DVD players from Samsung that you think are bad? Also, does anyone know if there is a good, reliable DVD Recorder that also supports HD Upscaling or should I buy a separate unit for that? |

The Toshiba D-R5 upconverts through HDMI. I have 2 D-R4s, hands down best picture quality of any recorder I've seen. Virtually everything Samsung makes is problem prone. |
