This dvd recorder is quite surprising. I was expecting a very basic unit with basic functions. However I am pleasantly surprised!
It is easy to set up as there are 2 scart sockets along with audio and video sockets too.
It plays all cd formats DVD Video • VCD • SVCD • DVD-R • DVD-RW • DVD+R • DVD+RW • CD (Audio) • CD-R • CD-RW • Picture CD and also supports MP3 and JPG formats too. However it will only record onto DVD+RW which is not a problem as this format is readily available. I bought my discs from Morissons supermarket and they work fine.
You can alter the record time from Standard Play up to Super Extended Play, although I have noticed the picture quality does diminish somewhat when using the Super Extended Play mode. I tend to use Long Play unless I am using it to record programmes over a 2 week period when I'm on holiday.
The Timer is easy to programme and the on screen menus are easy to follow.
The One Touch Record funtion comes in very useful when you realise there is something on you forgot to record!
All in all, I am quite impressed with this DVD recorder as a stand alone recorder. However, my next purchase would be a hard drive recorder.
