Rating: - Can a machine be more UN-user friendly?
This machine is truly dreadful. It is slow and very complicated to use. Even a professional I had to call to look at it gave up!

The machine is going back for a refund! Can't get rid of it quick enough!

This is now the third unit i have had and this one has now gone faulty.
The sound from this unit is terrible.
The picture from this unit occasionally goes to a blue tint.
The unit is VERY Noisy.
In fact i'm sure my warranty is not yet up so I think i will replace this one.
In other words avoid buying this!!

YOU HAVE TO PRESS OPEN/CLOSE AND WAIT ANOTHER 10 SECONDS, NOW YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE REMOTE HAND SO YOU CAN CHOOSE WHAT YOU WANT TO VIEW EITHER FROM HARD DISC, SCART, ... Read More
