Not Even Suitable as a Boat Anchor
Pros
None that I can think of.
Cons
The Lite-On AllWrite LVW-5005 DVD/CD Recorder unit I have is a piece of junk.
Recommended it?
No
The Bottom Line:
To paraphrase Ralph Nader; Unsuitable at any speed
I own one of these Lite-On AllWrite LVW-5005 DVD/CD Recorder units and the advertising that this unit will record on just about any DVD is a bold faced lie. When I first received this unit, I had to buy three different brands of blank DVDs before I could find one that worked. Then, when I ran out of the ones I bought, I went out and bought more of the exact same brand, capacity, speed and format. They would not work in the machine.
I then contacted the manufacturers customer support and asked them what blanks I should purchase. From their suggestion of compatible blank DVDs I purchased three different brands and none worked. I talked to the customer service again to get further suggestions, bought two more different brands and they didn't work, either.
By the way, I still have one of the original disks that worked and I can still record on it but I am running out of space on it. None of the other blank DVDs I have purchased will work. I have over $200 worth of blank DVD discs that will not work in that machine that claims to have "AllWrite" technology.
If there were the capability to rate this item as ZERO stars, I would.
