review of JVC HR XV1 Advantages: Robust, easy to use, saves space! Disadvantages: poor VCR LP picture quality, limited options This is a review of my parents combined DVD/VCR recorder. I love the fact that this piece of equipment saves space! If you are lacking space, which they were a machine like this will be perfect for you! The machine looks quite nice I think and feels nice a robust, the controller is of reasonable quality too. the DVD player in it is fine for the price of the machine. It gives good quality picture with options such as skip/fast forward/audio options/zoom ... ...VCR part however, has good quality picture on SP but records poorly on LP with loss of picture quality and some breaks in the picture. The rewind/fast forward features are nice and quick though! the machine has two scart connections which is handy for TV and digi box and any other applications you would like. The machine is simple to use and even my parents, who have no idea about technology, can use it!! OVerall, if you are on a budget and need ... neil1424 31.03.2006 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of JVC HR XV1	Sound Level Instructions Value for Money
Forget It!! Advantages: Ermmm still thinking!! Disadvantages: Everything - Main one being only likes playing JVC Tapes! ...was a fault and contacted JVC but was even more dismayed when I was informed that "The JVC HR DVS3 is unable to play sony tapes consistently!!!" All of the controls have also proven to be very poorly made and also not very well positioned with the firewire port at the front being awkward to get to and use. I got this in a sale (no wonder!!!) but please avoid it!! ...

EVA 9150-great addition to my living room; not to my bank Advantages: Massive file range, incredible wireless networking, quiet, looks good Disadvantages: Simply too costly right now - extra features do not justify price This machine is fantastic - it has even converted the wife who is as Luddite as they come. Its connection speeds with my router are pheomenal, using the n-standard, and I've been able to stream HD video from my router upstairs to this downstairs effortlessly. Misses out Windows Media Centre altogether (good thing!) and simply indexes your shared folders on whatever is your server. For me, I have a 1TB MyBook attached to my router and this works perfectly. ... ...so you can back up your DVDs and keep them scratch free somewhere safe. 500GB hard drive is useful for your favourite stuff - easily managed too. The outputs on the back are extensive - the picture quality through the HDMI even when upscaling is superb. Really can't fault this machine at all except for minor things like the UI is sometimes a bit unresponsive. The only downside is that it is overpriced in my view - better than the rest certainly but ...

Panasonic does it again Advantages: Range of features, quality Disadvantages: Single tuner ...been very impressed with any Panasonic product I have owned or seen in a home. After a little look around I opted to buy this player as I had heard great things about it and some of the other products in the DIGA Range so I choose the Panasonic DIGA DMR-EX79 and here is my review. The Look When Choosing a new DVD Player I wanted to get one that was as smart looking as the new television I had just bought. One thing about Panasonic products I like ... ...Since DVD recorders were introduced Panasonic have been at the top of the game at every price point so it's not so surprising that this has such a great reputation. Recording This has a massive 250GB Hard Drive and features a Freeview tuner for easy recording onto either the hard drive or onto the DVD. Recording is simple, you can either set it up to record something on a timer or if you find something you like you can just press the record button ... jcneil 11.10.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Panasonic DIGA DMR-EX79	Sound Level Instructions Value for Money
