Review: I already had a SVHS video and DVD player, but with a small child who always wants her TV shows recorded, I ended up with too many videos. I could not keep track of what was what and after a time, programming the recorder became a pain. The solution was this machine. I looked for some time, but nothing had the spec I needed. This has! A large hard drive, DVD recorder multiformat, Freeviews, time slip recording, easy programming. No more tapes. Just bring up the programme guide on screen, select a programmes and press OK, TIMER. Thats it. The 7 day guide means that I can set a weeks recording in a few minutes. To list what you have recorded, just bring up the title list. You can view the recordings alphabetically or by date recorded. New recordings have the word NEW by them, quickly showing titles not yet watched. The large hard drive means that you can keep the recordings for a while before either deleting them or burning them on to a DVD to keep or share. A great feature is being able to watch a previus recording or a DVD whilst recording a new programme. My only slight niggle is that when you switch it on it takes several seconds before you can do anything. This aside, the best piece of kit I have purchased. |
