Rating: - A really good recorder and amazing for £80!
I've had this DVD recorder for just over a week now and it's done everything I expected and more!
Set up was easy (factoring in my incompetence trying to connect the Freeview box!) and I was recording within a matter of minutes! One of the reasons I chose this model was the Divx playback but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it plays Xvid as well!
Other reviewers have mentioned that it takes a while to prepare disks; this is true so I'd format some disks in advance ... Read More

I write my first impressions having just set up the device and made my first recording. It was a very fortuitous buy at the supermarket - the price was very very good and I bought it on a whim. Just as well - having just tried to replay some VHS recordings made over the past week on a very expensive but now-aged S-VHS deck I found sound but no picture, even though other recorded tapes played superbly. The video-record head must be defective and repairs are too costly, and parts unavailable.

I brought this DVD player to replace a broken VCR since it is only slightly more expensive than a decent video recorder.

At the time of writing this review, this DVD recorder was available at my local supermarket for under 70 quid, which is a surprisingly ... Read More
Rating: - Easy to use and great value for money
I was looking for a new DVD player when I stumbled across this DVD recorder for only £40 more. I only need it for playing DVDs and recording from the TV, so if you want a recorder primarily for this, then this is a great buy. It's really easy to use and the easy-guider practically does all the programming for you!
