Although this is a very basic DVD recorder it does support dual format discs, and also photo discs. It is extremely east to set up and use, it also has video plus for setting regular programmes. The remote control is fully functional and well set out for easem of use and finding features you want. I now believe this product is selling for £79.99, which is not much less than I paid 3 years ago.

It does record in several differant time lengths starting from 60 mins - 340 mins. Useful if you want to record several programmes on one disc.
I know most people want something tha does everything, but for those who just want a basic recorder I would recommend this one.
