Review Summary: ABSOLUTLY FANTASTIC
Overall Score: 5/5 Overall score - 5Overall score - 5
Review: I did a lot or research into DVD recorders before my buy and realised that RAM with it's time slip feature would be great. I have not been disappointed. I bought this last week and it FANTASTIC. The time slip feature is superb, quality brilliant, very easy to use and programme. It is so quiet in operation and even automatically records the name of the programme you are recording.

Coming from a VCR, all quality modes are pretty good. I keep it in LP (4 hours on a single sided disk) which is fine.

One thing I noticed was that because I have Sky, and a signal splitter, I had to fiddle with the sequence of coaxial cables (what goes into what first) and scart leads to make my whole system work the way I want it to work. E.g. when I recorded BBC1, I couldn't watch sky - hence I needed an extra scart lead to link the Sky box directly to the TV.

One tiny downside is that I can never lend a recording to anyone, as few people have a machine that can read RAM - but how often would I do this anyway?

A great buy. I love it!
