Rating:  - Seems a great machine so far!
Nice machine for the price excellent value when you consider all the features - I haven't had to refer to the manual, Some posting negative reviews here maybe didn't know what they were buying, i.e. those that complain they can't watch something and record something else.

This is the sort of thing people did with the earlier versions of VHS video recorders. The effect of this is that if ... Read More
Rating:  - Samsung DVD-SH853M - Samsung's Lemon
My preference has always been Toshiba with Phillips as a backup.

Originally bought the SH853M because of the spec and a few good reports. However, it is largely an infuriating item, sometimes working, sometimes telling you it is working when it is not and other times just plain useless.
