This is a great product, but only if you take the time to work out how to use all the features and link them together. However, my wife who has never had any problems with technology cannot fathom it, and has to ask me to carry out any recording functions.
That having been said the playback, recording and sound quality are all very good - especially through HDMI cable.
The player has a few tricks up its sleeve in that it can store pictures from a digital camera and has a jukebox to store music from MP3 players.
The in-built TV guide is exceptional. You can list your preferences and the guide will then automatically show recommended programmes for viewing and recording. Also films and sport are shown in different colours so are easy to pick out.
The remote link function is also handy. It means the DVR can be hidden from view and the remote operated via the TV remote sensor (if a pioneer TV).
How helpful would this review be to a person making a buying decision? Rating guidelines
Being new to the site and reviewing isn't easy, we have all been there. The best advise is to put off writing reviews until you have read loads of them especially very helpful and exceptional reviews so that you know what people look for in a review. That way you know what to include to make your review as good as possible. Remember that you only get paid when you get good ratings on your reviews. Look through some reviews, then come back to this one and add loads to it and you will get better ratings. Leave a message in my guestbook when you have and I will come back a re-rate. Laura
