I've always had good luck with JVC, and aside from some muddled directions, I think the streak will continue. First, in order to actually see the recorder's menu, your TV must be able to receive 'input' on another frequency. That's to say, if you have an older TV this may not work. (I wondered what the 'input' button on the remote was for..) I'm using DVD+RW and DVD+R DL disks, since those are more likely to be compatible with a variety of DVD players. Pay attention, though, to the recommendations in the owner's manual. I inadvertantly picked up 2.4x; I had to go back and get 6x. You'll also need an S-Video cable and, warning, the hook-up instructions are wrong. Connect the S-video cable to the recorder and the TV, and the audio and video cables get placed into the connections right next to the S-video space. (I followed the hook-up in the manual, and had to re-connect all the wires.) JVC's customer service was easy to reach, and I even got a real person. The recorder makes you follow step-by-step. You can't record until the disk is initialized, and the screen states so. You can't finalize until a title has been editted in. I had a 'stupid question division' question, but the e-mail didn't come in time, so... if you don't want to sit through every family movie, start the dubbing and press the input button on the remote to get yourself back to live TV. Press input occassionally to check the progress of the transfer.Read full review
I've never purchased refurbished before, but this time I had to have the same unit for continuity sake so I agreed to a used unit. Well, it's been several weeks and the unit works beautifully. I would recommend this unit to anyone. The only difference between the JVC DR-MV150B and the JVC DR-MV100A is that the 100A was manufactured first and the following year they manufactured the same unit but changed the model to 150B. The remote control devices are interchangeable.

I had the exact same model and had been busily transferring my old videotapes to DVDs. I didn't always "finalize" a DVD right away because of my complicated system for organizing the tapes, and it occurred to me that if the machine broke and I had not "finalized" my DVDs, I wouldn't be able to watch them on any other machine. I'd be in big trouble. Then it happened; the machine went crazy and stopped recording and then it stopped finalizing the old DVDs I had already done. So I had to find the same model. The replacement that I bought on Ebay actually performs slightly better than the first one I owned. (The first one was more sensitive and wouldn't always play my old tapes well.) Now I'm happily continuing my project. I've never used a different machine, but this model does a good, perhaps very good, job of transferring videotape to DVD, or the opposite. New, it was around $200-250 new. I've seen some listed for much more money -- not sure it would be worth paying a lot more than they were worth new, but I'm quite happy with the quality and the ease of using it. There was a bit of a learning curve, but it really is pretty easy to use and does a serviceable job. Yes, the first one broke down, but I think the assumption is that none of these type machines last for more than maybe 2 or 3 years of use, and I was using it heavily for a while.Read full review
It has a very large dent on the top, but that was listed in the description. I also didn't notice that it didn't come with a remote control. The description says so but they could have had it listed more prominently (NO REMOTE). But you know I was able to set it up with my harmony remote. I haven't had much time to record things, but it works for the TV to display signals. I don't really know if it's easy to use or if it is well designed. Should be fine.

A number of years ago I bought a pair of these - shortly after the analog/digital signal change. I also thought about transferring videos - although with the advent of YouTube and smart TVs, I really haven't used it for transferring video, but it's nice to know I have the option if I ever decide to use it. The ones I bought were fact.refurb. Something I question is why the DVD motor continues to hum even when it has been "stopped". Design flaw? Maybe the reason they were refurbished? Were they not totally refurbished? Anyway, after these years, one has stopped playing back DVDs. Finding them still for sale on the web for 200-350$, makes me want to check on the cost of getting the broken one fixed. First I'll spring for a lense cleaner. But all things considered, I'm satisfied with the use gotten from these.Read full review
