Advantages: Price, design, features
Disadvantages: Not very user-friendly

...a happy owner of a Samsung LCD screen, I thought it made sense to pair it with a Samsung DVD recorder. Both would look good together, the recorder's features were attractive (a 160 GB hard drive, option of multi-region compatibility, HDMI, etc.). I was also appealed by the fact I could watch the beginning of a programme before the recording ended. Setting up the recorder was quite straightforward. Connecting it with a Freeview box is possible but, ...
...takes over most of my Samsung LCD TV remote's features but there are simply too many buttons: two ON/OFFs, two "TV" and two "DVD", it's just too confusing. Maybe because Samsung have tried too hard to combine all most functions of both the TV and the recorder on one remote and because the recorder is a player/recorder hybrid? Also, it should have included an easier to use TV recording interface, listing all the TV programmes on the main channels ... Read review

Advantages: Elegant Design, Excellent Sound Quality, User Friendly
Disadvantages: Ear-phone design, Battery Charging

I recieved 1GB Samsung YP-K5JZB as a birthday present. I first seen the portable MP3 Player advertised on a PCD music video and was immediately attracted. The sleek design shows true craftsmanship and elegance and it was the first MP3 player I had seen with built in, slide-out speakers. The first thing which I found fascinating was the touch screen capabilities. I also found that transferring music onto the portable device was very straight forward. ...
...felt could have been improved was the provided ear-phones. I did not find the ear-phones attractive and was a little worried to walk down the street wearing them. Another disadvantage in my view is the battery charger. The only product I was supplied with to charge the device was via USB cable, in situations where there is no access to a personal computer/laptop it would definately prove to be inappropriate. However it is likely that other battery ... Read review

It has an excellent battery life even when watching videos. You can also get accessories ... Read review

Advantages: picture quality, large hard disk, can copy DVD to hard disk
Disadvantages: menus are confusing

The picture from this box is great. It has the benefit of upscaling not only DVD's but also the Freeview signal. So it will upscale the programme you are watching or any you record. The Standard recording quality is pretty much perfect, I cannot really see much difference from this to the XP (high quality) recording mode and for day to day use it works really well. There are some handy features like being able to move DVDs (which are not copy protected ...
...This is really handy for building a library of home movies at your finger tips if you want it. The menu and ease of use is a little poor. It is confusing what buttons do what sometimes because the remote has to handle DVD playback and also HDD playback and navigation. However once you get used to it, its ok. The lack of dual tuner is a problem and makes some things a pain. For instance you cannot look at the guide whilst a programme is recording. ... Read review
