After surfing the internet for DVD recorder reviews and pricing I determined that Vann's offered the best value for what I wanted. The set up took about 15 minutes including the programming and was very easy. A nice feature is that you can set it up to play a DVD without seeing the previews or having to go through a menu - great for my handicapped brother.
Recording has been a breeze but I did order Verbatim DVD-R's per other reviewer's tips. It is nice to be able to transfer from DVD to video and vice versa. And you can view .jpeg photos on CD which is a nice way to save your family and vacation photos.
The player is not as noisy as some reviews have stated. It does take a little time to power up - maybe 15 seconds. This DVD recorder is way ahead of the competition in it's price range and a $150 higher.

First,I would like to thank Vann's for the great service and attention. I will buy from them again.
Recorder is setup with a satellite system and I have recorded several DVDs with great results. The support from GoVideo is excellent, they helped me setup my system so everything worked. The quality of the recorded DVDs is excellent. The user manual is easy to understand and use. I will be converting my old VHS tapes to DVD and this is the best unit on the market for this task. Great product!

My children have about 50 videos that were cluttering bookshelves and video cabinets, but thanks to this product I was able to convert all of them to about 10 cds. The 9 Baby Einstein videos all went on 1 cd, the same for the 4 Blue's Clues, etc.... We are still currently in the process of converting all of our VHS movies to DVD and then there won't be another VHS tape in this house except the sale ones that are waiting to be converted! The vr4940 is easy to use, and I love the button locks that keep my kids from changing the settings by playing with the buttons on the front panel. It is such a worthy investment, it will pay for itself several times over.

This is my second purchase from Vann's. I am always skeptical about buying big ticket items online but Vann's makes it easy and they are the 'best buy' around.
This is my third Go Video product. Go Video is so far advanced in technology that they are second to none. This DVD PlayerRecorder is easy to use and the best value on the market.

It is July 19th and I have had my 4940 since July 13th. I purchased the unit to archive a series of video documentries dating back to the mid 1980's. In the past five day's I have copied neaqrly 40 VHS taped onto DVD-R discs and the result is surprisingly good. The first thing I noticed is the saturation of color that I did not see on my 4 head stereo VCR from the early 1990's and I paid over four hundred bucks for it back then, The contrast on the 4940 is high and the colors are deep all contributing to giving an old VHS tape a new lease on life. I feel like I'm seeing these tapes for the first time. While the playback of the original video seems to go a bit darker in the shadows and a bit lighter in the highlights than the original much of that detail appears on the final DVD-R and with better color. I didn't know that I was missing so much of the vivid colors until I saw them on the 4940 DVD Recorder VCR. An Excelent Machine!

This is a great unit for quality and price. It is very easy to use and the options of recording on DVD or VCR are great. There are two tuners and so you can record on one and watch something different at the same time. I bought this because I wanted to convert older VC tapes to DVD so that I could edit them digitally on my computer. That plan worked perfectly--and the added bonus is that the machine is so easy to use. It was also a comfort to have a sticker on the machine that says I can call to be 'walked through' my first recording. I didn't make the call--because I didn't think I needed it--the owner's manual is clear and I downloaded it from the website and keep it on the desktop of my computer, just in case I do need to refer to it.
Another feature that it had was the front jack for my digital video camera. This will also let us convert our newer home videos as well. I think it is a great machine! I also think that purchasing it here at Vann's was great. I got emails and follow-ups on my purchase. I give them a 5 as well!

Great product. Its very easy to set-up and very easy to use. Its perfect for one of the main goals I was trying to accomplish, i.e. transfer segments as well as complete VHS tape contents to DVD. It does this with ease as well as all the other functions you would expect from a DVD recorderplayer. This was also my first purchase from Vann's, and this was also a great experience.

I recently purchased the Go-Video DVD RecorderPlayer VR4940 from Vanns.
First, I have owned a Go-Video dual deck video recorder for 11 years without the first problem...excellent in EVERY way...ease of use, sound and picture quality....better than any I have used, so naturally, when I thought about a DVD recorder, Go Video had to be my choice.
I first went to the website of Go Video and found out that they did make a DVDvideo recorder all in one unit. I immediately started checking to see when it would be available.
I then started comparing prices and, that's when I found Vanns.
I registered to be notified by email when they had the unit in stock. I received their email and by the time I read it, they were sold out, but they assured me that they would hold the sale price. I re-registered and the second time I got the machine. Their price was the very best price I found. I ordered the recorder. They told me when I would receive it. Matter of fact I received 4 emails from them, one confirming my order, one when the order was approved, another when it was given to UPS and still another with the trackig number. It arrived exactly they day they told me. Their service was the very best I could ever expect.
I have had the recorder for about a week and it has the great quality I had come to expect for the last 11 years from Go Video. It has the one-touch recording just like my dual-deck VCR recorder. It records at the touch of a button from VCR to DVD, and from DVD to VCR. The picture is fantastic and the sound is great. I also know that the support team at Go Video is great. I've called them before with questions and they always have the answer I need. It's a dream come true and I would highly recommend this recorder to anybody who is looking for a DVD recorder. The price and quality would be hard to match.
I would also recommend Vanns. They have done everything they told me and I would NOT hesitate to order from them again.
