Page 1 of DVD RECORDER WITH NOISE REDUCTION-ACCEPTING NTSC & PAL INPUTS

Can someone please help? I want to transfer my VHS tapes to DVD, and clean them up at the same time. My SONY DVDR does this fine on PAL tapes but alas, it does not accept NTSC, and I have a stack of NTSC tapes. My Phillips DVDR will record from pure NTSC tapes, but no noise reduction. Is there a DVD recorder out there which will let me copy PAL & NTSC VHS tapes and will clean them up at the same time???

I`m not sure how much cleaning up they need.

The original Liteon 5005 and 5006 accept both PAL and true NTSC inputs, and they have a feature called DominoFX (see here: www.dvfx.com/home.html) which improves a VHS picture considerably, softening it. I backed up my entire VHS collection to disc with a 5006 and the results are stunning.

They are also multiregion and can be hacked to remove macrovision allowing back up from original DVDs and VHS tapes.

Plus you can use DVD+R/W and DVD-R/W (and they record to CD if you want to - very handy) and you get a 2 year warranty.

Amazon are selling the 5006 for £75.96 with free delivery! ;)

Thanks Sue.....have picked up a Liteon 5006 from Currys at 79GPB.....here goes.....

If you have any probs at all, post back here or on the Liteon forum, and we`ll see what we can do! ;)

It`s not the best recorder in the world, and don`t even bother with the tuner, but it`s very handy for this kind of thing, and at that price is almost disposable afterwards!!! :D
