Presidian PDR-3222 Entry-Level DVD Recorder #2
The
Presidian PDR-3222 is a DVD Recorder, sold primarily through Radio Shack, that
offers multi-format (DVD-R/-RW/+R/+RW) DVD recording at an extremely low price
point. The PDR-3222 doesn't offer many of the more advanced features and
conveniences of higher-end, name-brand, units - it still offers some practical
features for someone looking for a very basic DVD recorder. If you are wary
about DVD Recorders, the Presidian PDR-3222 might be a way to take the plunge
without spending a lot of money.
This was a
gem when it was new. In fact, if I knew what is causing a herring bone effect
on the recording, I would not sell it. I can’t find anyone who knows what is
causing this effect. I cleaned the input A/V inputs on the back of the unit and
the wires as well with isopropyl alcohol. Seemed good for a while, then it
begins doing it again. Tried different A/V cables, and it was the same thing.
Now I get tired of erasing DVD-R/W discs to retry again. Sometimes it works
like new!
