Advantages: CDR/RW DVD+R/RW DVD-R/RW Audio & Video Recording and Multi region capable !
Disadvantages: Boxy Boring styling. Can overheat if not ventilated properly

This is quite simply an oustanding bit of kit for the money. Not only does it record on BOTH DVD formats... It can also record on CD's as well. It will make video CD's or, if you ask it nicely, it will even work as an audio CD recorder and even plays and records mp3. Now that is what i call one box which does it all! Recording DVD's it even automatically adds a thumnail navigation menu automatically to allow you to skip through a reording without ...
...look on the specialist DVD review websites you can type in a "secret" code which allows you to make it multi-regional, although I think by doing so you may be invalidating the warranty. The price is pretty impressive too at just a shade under £170 from amazon. About the only faults I could find were the boring styling and the fact that it does kick out a fair bit of warmth. ...

Advantages: USB, DivX, multi-region
Disadvantages: Periodically loses multi-region, no USB access from remote

Had this player for over a year now and has been brilliant all round. Used remote hack to make multi-region and changed video system from PAL to NTSC (hold Pause until display on player flashes) to stop judder on playback. Has played everything I've thrown at it. It did lose it's multi region setting recently but used remote hack to re-set factory settings and then Zoran file burnt to CD to access region setting menu and now fine again. One drawback ...
...have to press a button on the DVD player to access the USB stick and this can't be done on the remote. Not a major problem though. Has HDMI out which provides better picture quality. Coaxial out for digital sound. Decodes Dolby 5.1 and DTS. As a bonus, it looks pretty sleek too. ... Read review
