Rating:  - Please avoid like the plague
I've had mine for a little over a year and it's about to be binned. Terrible problems starting with blank DVDs not being recognised. Then it started to fail to recognise and play bought DVDs. Tried everything to make this piece of crap work properly but without success. Bought it on the strength of good experience with PC drives, which are fine, but Liteon should stick to what they know, and it AIN'T home DVD recorders!!!
Buy a good branded product from a manufacture who is reputable.
Rating: - Liteon HD-A760GX
The 760 GX is basically the same as the 740GX. I have had mine for just over 12 months. I write this to hopefully prevent anyone else buying one. It worked OK for 6 months, although the software was very delicate and often required several re-entries of info. It then locked up totally. Liteon tech support suggested a procedural fix, which worked for two weeks before the thing locked up again. I'm now told by the local TV repair firm that liteon do not provide support for it to be serviced locally ... Read More
Rating:  - Hardware problems can be overcome
We've had ours for over a year now, and we've had to send it back twice for repair (contrary to other reviews, I've found the customer support to be pretty good) - first time the whole unit shut down, and second time because the disc reader wasn't recognising blank discs. Both fixed fine with the stuff on the hard drive saved. OK, so the inability to do 2 things at once is a bind, but for the money - and assuming you don't get a dud! - this is a reasonable bit of kit.
Rating: - Lite-On....Write-off!!!
A word of warning for those who purchase this dvd recorder, it looks quite nice and has loads of features but something sinister is lurking beneath the fancy exterior. Withing 10 mniutes of setting it up (which thanks to the pathetic instruction manul is no easy task)it blew my TV!!!
Yes, the trusty TV Id been using for over 8 years suddenly just died on me. Have to say I didnt heed the warnings of the previous reviews and I paid my price (although I got a refund for the recorder). Stay well ... Read More
Rating:  - Liteon HD-A740GX - My experiences
I actually bought a rival machine to this from Argos in the UK, but it developed a fault and was returned within a week. In it's place I was given this machine and almost refused after some bad reviews I had read earlier on here and other sites when researching what to buy and what I could afford. In the end I decided to give it a go and so far I am pleased I did.
The machine has only been up and running for a week now and hasn't let me down once. Some of the reviewers here mention excessive noise, ... Read More
